Topic: Evan's turning Darkcoin/ "Dash" into a centralized company (Read 3456 times)
I can accept the new name Dash. Got Dash? It can exist and be referred to by either name, Darkcoin or Dash.
So, the point of this thread is to express the absolute bullshit that is going on right now. Darkcoin's developer has proposed that Darkcoin be renamed, Dash. I myself am extremely against this renaming as Darkcoin embodies exactly what the currency does, provide anonymity. It's name is "unique" in the sense that it's the first currency to have a privacy centered, english name. Besides my opinion of the name and it's meaningfulness, other important factors also come into play.
1) Type darkcoin into Google, and you'll find a millienia of results around the coin. Darkcoin was also a unique domain name/seo wise, because nothing was ever named Darkcoin before Evan coined the name up in March. Changing it to Dash or any other name will make it 10x harder to get any meaningful google search results.
2) My biggest issue is that Evan continues to treat Darkcoin like a company, not a decentralized currency. From what I've seen, he made plans to go straight into changing Darkcoin's name to Dash without even having a vote on it by the foundation members or darkcoin's community at all. One man can't make decisions like this, yet Evan chooses to do so.
It is that time again for a branding discussion, or is Evan trolling?
we are discussing it, but appearently its getting implemented as we speak
I vote for otohcoin
So without any vote or anything by the community/foundation members, Evan just goes ahead and decides to make the change to "DASH" by himself, in a coin that's supposed to be decentralized? Give me a fucking break. This is pissing me off completely. Disappointed with him.
There talk about on Darkcointalk,move from bitcointalk a bit...
As per qwizzie said, " we are discussing it, but appearently its getting implemented as we speak".
Let me just say who I am,
I would be considered a Darkcoin "whale"(over 50k DRK), and I've been alongside this coin for ages, since back in March, 2014. Darkcoin's been through some hard, controversial times, but it's pulled through and reached new heights in the crypto world. I recently saw a proposal for a name change(About the 5th time I've seen these talks). All I can say is, I'm fucking tired of it, I'm tired of the fuckups and the changes. Let Darkcoin be the way it is and improve upon Masternode anonymity and instant transactions and whatever other exciting new additions that will come to be. Darkcoin's entire being and recognition as a currency lies in it's name. I myself especially like the name darkcoin because of how powerful it sounds by mouth alone, something that goes against the ever transparent system that's out there. Changing it to something as shitty as "Dash" is utter fucking bullshit.
If Darkcoin continues on this stupid path I'm out, I'm done, and I'm gonna sell my coins and call it quits with this coin. Too much bullshit.

when i read the post about rebranding i was kinda hoping this would be an very early 1st of april foolsday joke.
So we are going for a third rebranding in what ? less then 16 months ? i sure hope you guys know what you are doing and
have really thought this through because with a rebranding you will have so much lost already (name recognition for a start)
and its very unsure you achieve what your hoping to achieve with the name Dash. And to be honest i'm not getting any vibe
from the name Dash so i'm not too thrilled about that part either.
my two duffs,

What is the purpose of a company ? Making money.
That's not the purpose of a anonymous currency (what is not DRK
) 
Dash can stand for Dark Cash. It will take some time for goggle search to show Dash to be our Dash. It does not matter too much as Darkcoin will not be in general use for some time.
why not ASH or ASS?
I actually thought that at one point, Darkcoin was dead. To all of a sudden open Bittrex one day and see the price over .01 was pretty amazing. There seems to be an even bigger scheme. With the name change itself, someone could call their coin Darkcoin as well.
You know what I hate? Cowards who don't even use their real forum name when they wish to state an opinion.
Stop pussin out.

maybe he doesnt want to deal with a horde of cult-like lunatics harassing him on his real account because of speaking his mind and giving his opinion
well then mayhaps he shouldn't be holding said coin.

The code is open. If you don't like Darkcoin fork it, rename it, and make a better coin.
you are welcome.
you are welcome.
Shut up peasents, Evan is your God
When Darkcoin was created, the name is even not the current name.
It has a master node to mix coin,
From this point, it is centralized .

Btw, Darkcoin was a terrible name.
Aye. It's not exactly a reassuring title. My coin will be called something lighthearted and friendly. I think I'll go for PinkPanties.
Gentlemand, Regarding your idea for pinkpanties coin, sounds good but won't work because everybody will want the pinkpanties to come down, never up
Still better than the name of nxt or nem lol
Here is your Dash
So many flavors!!!
