Thanks, glad it was investigated.*  Good luck w/ the re-branding effort. I'm a little worried about the choice, but I'll be rooting for its success nonetheless.  I'd be happy to give some feedback along the way if sought (just PM me).

*From https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/verge

From Middle French verge ‎(“rod or wand of office”), hence "scope, territory dominated", from Latin virga ‎(“shoot, rod stick”), of unknown origin. Earliest attested sense in English is now-obsolete meaning "male member, penis" (c.1400). Modern sense is from the notion of 'within the verge' (1509, also as Anglo-Norman dedeinz la verge), i.e. "subject to the Lord High Steward's authority" (as symbolized by the rod of office), originally a 12-mile radius round the royal court, which sense shifted to "the outermost edge of an expanse or area."

Noun[edit]
verge ‎(plural verges)

...

Etymology 2[edit]
Latin virgō.

Noun[edit]
verge f (plural verges)

female virgin (female person who has never had sexual intercourse)

Noun[edit]
verge f ‎(oblique plural verges, nominative singular verge, nominative plural verges)

usually with words like this, plural is the same, verge. "that will be 100 VERGE" "how many VERGE do you have?" "i just bought a million VERGE" etc

I respect that, you've put the most time and resources into this project.  Will you at least answer the question Jwinterm and I have posted - what is the plural of Verge? Does that plural version sound good when you say it - can you imagine a cashier saying it to when they ring up purchase?

im making an executive decision to pick verge.

vergecurrency.com, .info, .org, and .net are now ours.

Yep.  People should think about their standards for choosing a name.  I think it has to be a noun referring to a thing, and it shouldn't be easily confusable w/ something else (e.g., did you know verge has subscription points, wow - I just made that up).  A name has to fit within common understandings of money or nobody will use it beyond a pump and dump.  Look at the history of money and the successful cryptos, the names are short and sweet.  they don't try to be clever or cute.  they are boring - its what people expect.  they try to last a long time, not be a fad or trend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_circulating_currencies

RE: features of this coin - The privacy features are awesome.  Focusing on that will draw a lot of unwanted scrutiny and hornets "https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29280".  I think it would be very cool and unique to make the privacy features w/ this coin the best kept open secret in cryptocurrency (like the first rule of fight club).

Lastly, and to be completely honest, I'm a little disappointed and frustrated with how the voting and process therefor have panned out recently.  Please read my prior posts if you haven't yet voted or made a decision, there you'll find some things to think about in choosing a name.  Beyond that, I probably won't chime-in with feedback anymore on this topic since its not generating interest, but I will be thinking hard about and researching project management and cryptocurrency communities for some side projects I have going.  I may share some of that work if it looks like this thread starts attracting more folks interested in formulating pillars or benchmarks for sustainable, long-term success in areas beyond the solid developing work.

Voting against as well due to similar weirdness to name.  Its ok and it "could" be ok, but I prefer CoGs personally.

yeah im excited. VERGE will be the name, but for social media, verge currency.. a bunch of them i think would still be verge.. send me some verge, how many verge do you want, i have a million verge.. etc.. =]

Oh I see that VERGE is going to be it!  Rebranding is starting in 1 week!!  so it is a VERGE coin?  Or is it just the VERGE or vergecurrency?  How do you see it Dev for a bunch of Verge coins or is it Verge currencies?  VERGES?  So things could cost a part of a VERGE?  Or I will give you 10 VERGES for that TV?  is it VERGE or verge?  The twitter handle is in lower case or does it matter?

Just wanting to know more now how all this will work?  Exciting!!  

yep!

I love VERGE. Take this one

I agree with this, don't like VERGE, but I can't seem to vote, it won't allow me too.  I think COGS with the S is the best from my opinion.  I can see people using COGS for everything, but not VERGES or VERGEES?  Just my opinion.

I don't like VERGE for a few reasons, but personal opinions aside, how is VERGE the winner with 40% of the vote? In some of the previous rounds I think other names had over 70% support.

Some reasons not to like besides less than 50% support from people who voted:
Hard to get search traction or short handles for promotion with things like: http://www.theverge.com/ , https://twitter.com/verge?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor , https://www.facebook.com/verge

Seems mostly unrelated to crypto or currency, and sounds similar to other scamish monosyllabic coins such as SPREAD, SWING, DASH, etc.

No clear plural.

lol it hasnt been used in a few hundred years.. i think VERGE is the winner =]

besides, with that meaning, it only adds to the power of the name! 

I live in france and I never knew this. Well that rules out that idea then

LOL we dont want bigvern

it's used in english quite a bit to mean "the edge" or "brink".. im not too concerned about its french meaning, although it does add more masculinity to french users, i suppose ;]

verge not very good i think

in french a verge is a cock

Go ahead burn your coins, I am certainly not going to

Yes,but do not you think to raise the price by burning coin?
It would be a good incentive.

Because brand is will contribute marketing and adoption.

Price comes with demand.
