I know I'm brand new here and haven't earned the right to give input yet, but I'll give it anyway.
There are already a lot of coins that start with X. I think Xtrabytes might do better with a more distinct name. Maybe something to do with signatures?
You must be joking, I find Xtrabytes a good brand name and is well thought for the masses.

Thank you for your input... we can do all sorts of things for promotions like that to gain market size. We could not change the XBY and the name XtraBYtes came out of this through community interaction. The bigger picture also came from this in the sense that our main service will be decentralized shared storage (bytes) Hence... XtraBYtes :wink:

That is the brand and we can become the #1 brand very easily with a name like that.

@ccrevolution Gotcha. I hope I didn't sound like I was fudding. I just like the signature aspect and think it would be cool to portray that aspect in the branding. I understand better now why that name was chosen.

@aiskeyz never thought that at all April... We will build big campaigns around the PoSign...
I've been around crypto some years now and follow things very closely. Can I suggest you don't focus on the storage aspect TOO much because there are already coins doing this, coins like Storj and Sia just off the top of my head. Its not that unique and won't produce much interest or market cap. I liked the idea of building a whole ecosystem but also people are talking about that quite a lot but IS a great direction long term....a kind of decentralised Google. BUT the major focus and selling point which makes this coin unique MUST be the static nodes and POSign way of securing the system. TRUST me this MUST be the focus. Unique wins, copying others won't.
Thanks Troy, storage is ONLY the first application and the natural target when we first began to develop the long term plans after figuring out how to use the ticker XBY. We all must understand the communications between Borzalom and I, long before any new people knew this was becoming something. I asked him several times if we can change the name... At the time we had Bitmox... what the heck can kind of marketing campaign can you build around THAT?? Nada...
So, I was told that we CAN change that name, but we CANNOT change XBY otherwise we have to make a whole new coin and then all of us who were scammed would lose the money the scammer took in the Bitmox ICO. Therefore, that was not an option... So, I came up with a few names that might work with the letters XBY and I put it out to the small community we had at that time and from this, one of our dedicated members, name Aarell threw back some more ideas and from this, XtraBYtes was born...
Now, what can we do with XtraBYtes?? Well, storage is first... and here we are!!
However, the bigger picture here with Borzaloms invention of PoSign and the STaTiC node setup is actually a Decentralized Super System. So, there is MUCH more to come and XtraBYtes is the BRAND we will build this around...
Thank you again for your input and for being a valued member of the XtraBYtes Community Corporation!!
I think the name is fine, no complaints here. I would actually argue that names aren't as important as people think, most of the top 20 coin names are pretty silly if you look at them, Ripple, Etherum, Agur, Golem!! it doesn't matter.
What people care about is what they do.
But my point on focus of marketing was important, I think you know what I'm saying so I won't repeat myself, thanks for you're work. But I will say what I think would be a bad idea is to say hey this coin is a decentralised platform (sooo many people doing that now, dime a dozen) and oh yeah by the way it has a unique way it secures the chain. The selling point is POSign front and centre....and other stuff can follow that.
We have VERY high buys over the last few days. A coin of such low satoshi value to be on top trader at C-CEX and also in top 15 on Yobit is indicative of VERY HIGH trading.
