This should be included in the list of candidates.

I like the rendering too, but that picture is NOT #5 which uses true vertical lettering. The rendering is #5 in italics. Evan, can you clarify?

Ok, you got me. You've just confirmed we can have some fun with this vanilla name. :)

I like both of these. XCash is kind of snazzy because no one has heard of it or used it as a word. It's close enough to XC/XCurrency to piss them off (if there's anyone left), but today's trading volume is $62 so I'm not too worried about them. XCash also a nice throwback to our original name...

That was a joke, but you couldn't see my tongue-in-cheek. :)

Yeah, Morse code is for very slow communication channels. It's dumb to decorate with Morse just because it uses dashes, and very few of them are in the name DASH. Newbs will think we're competing with Western Union or something.

Borrowing from earlier ideas, we could do something here that would solve another problem with Bitcoin: separating the Bitcoin currency from the Bitcoin transaction network. This dual usage of the name causes some confusion when explaining how Bitcoin works. We could have DASH for the currency...

Agreed. See above. Make it compile-only.

Ok, so let's go with DASH and have a plugin wallet skin for that retro Darkcoin look. Keep the nostalgia as an option, and get the best of both worlds. :) Edit: and make the skin an obscure download (e.g. maybe something you have to compile) so we don't scare off orphans and widows.

Maybe we have a transitional period, like when the 280ZX came out. Remember the NISSAN 280ZX by Datsun? Before that they sold the Datsun 280z. After the 280ZX, everything they sold was a NISSAN. Our company can be Darkcoin. Our product can be DASH. And we can market it as DASH Powered by...

Most merchants I've talked with have the same view you describe of Darkcoin with Bitcoin. They're not interested. They have bills to pay, inventory to manage, and no time or financial capability to sit on Bitcoins and speculate. They simply don't have customers asking about it yet, and they...

I've come full circle. I like the name Darkcoin the best. The proposed name change reeks of greed and impatience. We should make the technology so damn compelling that merchants will have no choice but to overcome their reticence to adopt it. There is a saying where I come from. "When in doubt...

No, no rushing here. Take the time to do it right. If the price falls to a dollar so be it. Let that be a lesson to the Darkcoin Foundation board members for making closed room decisions. The people who are dumping are the very ones who used to support the coin, but now see they have absolutely...

Lemme take this voting idea a step further. Put together some proposed brand names. Use an informal voting process right here to get 10 candidates down to 3 serious runners. Use the DRK artwork theme to show what the 3 candidate names would look like (DASH already has a mockup). Then let each...

The market has not yet spoken. Otoh is levitating the price. Once Otoh's walls get eaten, there's no telling how far this coin will drop. We're in the middle of an identity crisis, where the community is faced with only one choice. DASH. Where are the other candidates? Oh, we don't have any...

Eltito, Glad to see you back here. It is possible to have both a brand name and description at the same time. Brands like 'Lyft' and 'DocuSign' give a hint at what they do. IMO a name like 'DropCash' would work because it sounds like what you do with it. When you pay with DropCash, you're...

DASH is impossible to SEO. We should consider something like DropCoin or DropCash. I can actually hear it now: Cashier at Whole Foods: "How are we paying today?" Me: "DropCash" [holds down TouchID] Cashier: "Have a great one!"

I'm still kicking around the name "DASH'. One problem I see with DASH is the search engine optimization (SEO) of this name. Darkcoin is perfectly searchable today. DASH will not turn up good hits. We should consider a deliberate misspelling or unique name to improve SEO. Think 'LYFT'.

Random fact: in the pro audio world, DASH was Sony's awesome 48 track digital audio format. DASH= digital audio stationary head. So from my corner of the world, DASH presents no confusing or offensive naming conflicts, but in fact conjures up the legendary studio recorder that actually let you...

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to test InstantX again with two live wallets and report back.
