As Seb points out in the post below, using the name
Shadow had always been the intention.
(this is quoted from the voting thread at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=931139.new#new )
Perhaps we could use the word Shadow somehow in the thread subject title?
e.g. ⋆⋆⋆ [SDC] Shadow | ShadowSend v2 IS ALIVE ! ** MANDATORY WALLET UPGRADE! ⋆⋆⋆
or ⋆⋆⋆ [SDC] Shadow | ShadowCash | ShadowSend v2 IS ALIVE ! ** MANDATORY WALLET UPGRADE! ⋆⋆⋆
?
One of the first things i said in the SDC thread when i discovered it was the name was not real good, i like shadowcash a lot more the shadowcoin but i just can't see shadowcash on a billboard etc i have one idea.
eclipse: To make dim or indistinct:
That's a cool name. If we had a do-over I'd probably vote for that over Shadow.
Shadow
Since this coin has encrypted messaging and will have an in wallet store/market, voice and file uploads and who knows what else in the future, we are less a coin and more a network. The Shadow network. The "cash" is only one part.
If we rename to Shadow we express the broader scope of this coin/network.
(Kinda like when "Apple Computer" changed its name simply to "Apple")
so… shadowcash, shadowsend, shadowchat, shdowbay, shadowvoice etc etc all fall under the purview of Shadow, an elegant and simple to market brand.
What you've described is pretty much what we've got going at the moment. The currency just gets emphasized because it's the main element (at least for now).
Want to change your vote?
As it stands there's 11 for, 8 against - doesn't seem to be strong feelings either way so looks like Shadow we'll stay. Another one I kinda like is the one that Pline suggested above: Shades. What're now SDC could be Lytes and the anon tokens could be Shades. Maybe next time.
Thanks for your input y'all.
