I don't think the debate about whether an alt can overtake bitcoin or not has any bearing on the merits of the name change.
The question is if DRK can get away with a name change and not loose its support.
Some think it can't. I think it can because there isn't anything else going thats going to offer what it's developing.
It will weaken our core market and make us vulnerable to attacks by vested interests, and lets be honest thats almost everyone else thats not Darkcoin really, isn't it.
Edit : Jezzzz, the trolls have made it through the main outer perimeter wall (BCT) and into the courtyard,they are aiming for the inner sanctum of Darkcointalk now
