I don't think the name change subject is off the table. I think it was intended to come later, at the time it was first brought up. Unless I am now misunderstanding something, it's still on the table for sometime down the road.
Somehow, it seems people have been reading into the issue things that weren't actually communicated. People have interpreted the words or the intent of the words in various posts about this. It is possible that I've done it myself, unintentionally.
Kind of a shame on the name change thing, but maybe its better to keep it for another day.
I noticed someone came up with Qwiksilver on the LTCD website and that has a ring to it for future reference.
As I said, it is further down the road. Not now !
I have some really exciting ideas about where LTCD can go. But I need to know in Laymans terms what Troll is doing to make the coin different and totally unique to help out. Can you outline how his code is different for someone not good with the technicals? E.g, How its main features will separate it from ALL other coins, and what its biggest strengths are?
It may be worth going for a name change in the future as you said to something more marketable as alternative to Ripples or Bitcoins if the code is really that good.
As I said I really like the name Quicksilver or Qwiksilver as a brand name for something totally unique. Qwik indicating transfers are made very fast and possibly with anonymity and the Silver gives it value in a marketing sense.
Would it be wise to get a patent check on that name? I know it clashes with certain brand name clothing, but I don't think that matters. And it would be nice to stop anyone else nabbing that name.
Also in the future, could the pre-mine be used to fund a professional marketing company to make a video showing how the currency started as Litecoindark and then progressed into a professional new coin with unique features that were brought about by the excellent coding of Troll? Perhaps it could also be used to fund advertisements made by a professional firm as well?
I think that would be something good for you to look into Xircom as someone who is heading up the marketing side of things. They could even solve the logo if people can come up with any Quicksilver ideas for them to improve on?
I don't know if everyone agrees on that name but I think its fantastic.
