But that's why I think its better to call it D-coin or something else (not related to dark)

New people will think that darkcoin is related to illegal things and thats not the intention, idea of it. Maybe it will scare/put off (I don't know the right word) some people...No?

I tend to agree with this. The name itself will be the reason darkcoin is never widely accepted by, er, "normal" people (also can't think of the right word sorry). It doesn't matter how great it is, give it a shady or evil sounding name and it's doomed.

The name is irrelevant, Bitcoin was not adopted because its name but more so because of libertarian values and adopters/enthusiasts being aware of what is going on the economy/banking. If dark can provide anonymous "dark" transactions it could be called purple unicorn coins for all I care.. Dark is good branding for people in the know ie tor darknet stuff. If joe blow isn't aware of what dark means he will soon enough.. with every Snowden leak or bullshit passed law/corrupt lawless judge's decision is making people more aware. It is like built in marketing because we all know what governments agenda is just like how cypress bumped up bitcoin.



I could give 2 shits about branding and market cap. Freedom is where it's at, make a coin that facilitates free commerce even silk road style commerce that bypasses bullshit laws and market cap & awareness will take care of itself. Makes me wonder why people are here promoting an anonymous coin if they care about mainstream perceptions.. perhaps cat coin is the better choice for them.

That is exactly the point I was trying to make. As soon as the name hints that it may be used for a particular purpose, it actually makes it less useful for that purpose, especially when it comes to anonymity. Take sexcoin for example LOL may as well have 2 for 1 hooker vouchers in your wallet and hope the wife doesn't notice That is exactly the point I was trying to make.

I have no position in this coin, just found it via that cryptolife article. But to think about trying to rebrand it to something more mainstream would be such a disaster. D-coin? Suck my D-coin would be just as good.



The one thing you guys have going for it is the anonymous transactions. The devs and the coin should be transaction neutral and if anything the branding should hint towards the dark side.

And it will mean a lot for a lot of people, for good and for bad. All other coins will be following us.



I love the name DarkCoin Its clear and simple. You cant rebrand now, its too late.



Let me quote a citation i just heard:



It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way







Good job devs.



+1 I like the name as well. Pondering my previous post on the subject and I vote to not rebrand as well. Lets face it: the main 'main' stream is nowhere near ready for any coin regardless of name. The critical mass at the moment is in the 'slightly' more rebellious quarters anyway. A bit of a 'dark' vibe won't hurt at all IMHO +1 I like the name as well.
