I dont think the logo is good. To chaotic, to many dots, not symetrical.

Can we have an logo contest, isntead of a colour contest?

I think its good to have different choices for an logo.

Here is what Psychology says about the color " Orange" :
"The Color Orange
The color of adventure and social communication
The color orange radiates warmth and happiness, combining the physical energy and stimulation of red with the cheerfulness of yellow.

Orange relates to 'gut reaction' or our gut instincts, as opposed to the physical reaction of red or the mental reaction of yellow.

Orange offers emotional strength in difficult times. It helps us to bounce back from disappointments and despair, assisting in recovery from grief.

The color psychology of orange is optimistic and uplifting, rejuvenating our spirit. In fact orange is so optimistic and uplifting that we should all find ways to use it in our everyday life, even if it is just an orange colored pen that we use.

Orange brings spontaneity and a positive outlook on life and is a great color to use during tough economic times, keeping us motivated and helping us to look on the bright side of life."

Sort of entertaining I think.




Having known a bit of color psychology prior to voting, I used similar knowledge to vote for Orange. However, I agree with others here. I don't necessarily think Elastic should associate to Bitcoin through the use of orange, regardless of if it's intentional or not. Good alternatives to orange may include: Purple, Gold, White, Silver. I would not recommend green at all.

Take into account that using idle computing power (Such as will be done with a system like elastic) means using this power which would otherwise be going to waste, for (mostly) good - creating something / research / progression / a forward movement - this is by all means green (environmentally speaking) and as such the green color may be more than suitable. In addition green symbolizes growth and this again is very much compatible with the principles of the project.
Other than that, blue has been used too much in logos to date, and although orange has some positive relevant connotations, i do believe that the green aspect of our soon to be working system is 1st in importance (also when considering the pr side of things).


Modern computers use very little electricity when idle. Having a process consume your cpu cycles that would otherwise remain idle is far from free.

I'm also not sure where the idea of elastic uses idle CPUs came from.  The miner I wrote runs as fast as it can using all the resources available.  It will consume quite a bit of electricity just like any other miner.

Ok, So in case the idle power issue is not relevant I stand corrected. In this case, it will be less reasonable to try to pr the system as "green". Thus I would probably go with bitcoin orange as color.

i open wallet with elastic-core-1.0.2 server but not connect.

Do I have to add peers manually?

Yeah, but everyone is fed up with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is associated with infights, technical issues, regulation and general bad PR.
very good points, but we all know how many times Bitcoin has been killed and got alive again. With all the bad publicity, BTC is $1000. If it survived Mt. Gox  , I'm sure it will survive this setback as well and we'll see it higher and higher year by year.
