How is this still mystery?

Also, checkout Chapter 9. (Balls) and Chapter 10. (Last ball) in whitepaper.

So, basically, the O stands for a snowball that is made of bytes.

Whoa, so can someone walk me through how this new name was chosen?

I am glad "ball" was taken out of the name. rofl. But what does the "O" stand for now?

What about the blackbytes? Is that still their name? Somebody propsed Pbytes (p as private). I like the proposal. Abytes (a as anonymous) could be an alternative.

IMO Obyte is a good choice!

There were other proposals I liked more but the final result is what we can market internationally and which doesn’t sound bad or funny in any language, so I’m ok with it.

You can't please everyone, there'll always be some complaining.  

merkel won.  trump is cool

What do you mean, wouldn't win? Stupid shit wins regularly on public votes. Trump won, Brexit won. Boaty McBoatface won.

You think that O was picked randomly and added in front of byte? Did you even read the announcement? Do you even know why this project was called Byteball in the first place? Have you ever even read what is on the website? Kind of difficult to take you seriously when you still haven't figured it out.

It's finally happening  good moves Tony

It matters.

To do the votation: or KYC (opinion of no KYC users is ignored)

or no-KYC (any form you would choose could be tricked, thus not representing community decision).

Fool, think before write, please.

It doesn't matter anymore. Byteball is renamed to Obyte and we have to live with that. Only time will tell if this change will have any impact.

How would you do the votation?

It is a ball. A ball is a core data structure on the protocol.

And byte is the core currency. It is very accurate, and without the association with lottery, like PowerBall, for example.

But such name wouldn't win in the voting process. I don't think that the majority of the community would vote for such a stupid name. That's the point of voting - get rid of bad things that people don't like and see what people like.

The first thing that I thought about when seeing "Obyte" was: "What "O" stands for? Many people will ask themselves this question and nobody will have the answer because it apparently doesn't mean anything.

Same can be said about all the cryptocurrencies with Bit in the name. I haven't looked into your examples, but you seem to forget that byte is a core thing about this platform and it is not part of the name just for fun or to be cool like other kids on the block.

Haters gonna hate, no matter what you do.

If you do the vote then you get names like Crypto McCryproface (google Boaty McBoatface - if you didn't get the reference).

Honestly I'm not impressed because of this obsession with "byte" name. It would be better to come up with a more original name. This "byte" thing is pretty popular word and a number of cryptocurrencies already use it:






And now Obyte is supposed to catch people's attention? Nah.

The project is run too much like a company with Tony as CEO hiring some people for some positions and all important decisions are made with no feedback from community whatsoever. It's all behind the scenes during "board meetings" and community is just graciously struck with a "decision".

How about doing it this way:


 Wouldn't that be a cool way to do it? Of course it would be. But instead we have this kind of "I'm in charge and I will decide" way of doing things. And here we are with another "Byte" cryptocurrency...

Yeah, Ethereum has it more clear than Bitcoin, SI base unit is Ether (ETH) and smallest unit on mainnet is wei.
Some say that Bitcoin (big B) is the platform and bitcoin (BTC) with small b is the SI base unit, satoshi is the smallest unit on mainnet. Ligtning network has even smaller unit.

O_byte is the platform, gigabyte (GBYTE) is the SI base unit, byte is the smallest unit on mainnet.

Also, the token has not been renamed, it still is 'bytes'. There are no Obytes, just the Obyte-network.

Easy to get that wrong as Bitcoin signifies both the network and the token (tho one might argue that a satoshi is actually the token).

Pee bites.

I like Obyte. Nice rebranding IMO.
There is currently a discussion on Reddit on the idea of Blackbytes being rebranded as well.

https://www.reddit.com/r/obyte/comments/ah97m5/rebranding_rebranding/

As I've stated there, I like Blackbytes as a name, so I'd rather keep it. However if the team should decide to rebrand Blackbytes too, perhaps in the fear that "black" bytes could eventually be associated to black market, I’d suggest to perhaps go for Pbytes - Private Bytes, especially as P is the next alphabet letter after O - so we’d have Obytes and Pbytes.
Still, I prefer Blackbytes.
