That's awesome and terrible at the same time. Good job, keep it updated!

The first one, 13, was a confirmed scam IPO.

Do you have any statistics, coins created, still alive, .. ?

Others at least try to sell themselves as innovative in some way, but this one just confess they are the same coin with another name and no innovation.

It is surprising at just how many poorly named coins there are. My vote would go to Boolberry, a coin that sounds like a weird brand of cereal. They chose that name after two naming contests, and that's what they came up with.

Added boolberry and trollcoin to the list Grin

At first I thought Boolberry was a bit silly but it's grown on me a bit. I assume it's a play on 'Boolean'.

Hodorcoin is pretty good.

Dogecoin is an obvious choice.

But I think the worst name was Kittahcoin. An obvious rip off of Doge while not being creative or funny.

I'm really quite sane!

FlappyCoin is in the lead!

Seriously, I think you're weighing the name too heavily. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, so says the bard. Vertcoin, for example: At the time, when scrypt ASICs were coming from China, Vertcoin offered ASIC-resistance. I think if it was called Pantscoin, it would have still been successful. Another example is Darkcoin. If you knew nothing about Darkcoin except its name, it's not a stretch to make the analogy "Darkcoin:Litecoin as Shibecoin:Dogecoin". Then there's Cinnicoin, which sounds like a cinnamon-themed coin, but has made new developments in anonymous messaging/transactions.

Touching on your examples of strong, "marketable" names: Blackcoin sounds like a cryptocurrency based on a color. Mintcoin sounds (to me, as is implied in all these statements) like it's dedicated to the mint family of plants. I have nothing on Bitcoin and Primecoin, I agree those are pretty good names.

And I'm sure there are tons of other examples that I don't even know about.

You can vote 2 times and the pol runs for 90 days.

A coin's name tells a lot about the coin. Most coins with silly names will never be taken seriously by the public, the exception might be dogecoin.

My advice would to only invest in coins with a good sounding strong marketable name like bitcoin, blackcoin, mintcoin, primecoin, etc. and avoid any silly or animal related name.

To strengthen my point you can find most names in the poll way below on the bottom of lists sorted by trading volume ready to be delisted.

What do you think, does a name count?
