Of all the reasons I can think of for dumping your holdings, that's probably one of the more ludicrous. He would have been a "disaster in marketing" if he'd stayed with a name that's synonymous with being stuck in a dark corner.

I've spent the last 10 years writing eCommerce systems for highly competitive businesses where they are precious as hell about their SEO. Google has changed its trawling algos beyond recognition in the last few years. Just because you've got a year's worth of 'clicks' to your credit doesn't mean you can't be dropped in an instant or - conversely - that you can't capitalise on rankings that you've earned to date.

What the marketing team need to do is carefully use 301's to redirect the crawlers to the new domains. That will let the new domains capitalise on the ranking that the current sites have.

At any rate, search engine rankings are only 1 aspect of a very big proposition - if anything it's why the name change needs to be done now and not when the project's been driven so far up the "dark" cul-de-sac that it doesn't have an option anymore.

Thanks for pointing this out, Tok. Like I said I'm agree with rebranding but decide to go with DASH ( Evan is the one who almost decided everything) is foolish IMO.
None of your examples are world class brand. If you want to create the next Bitcoin, your brand name must be important enough too.

And I'm not the only one, look how many people hate this new name. Evan might be success in creating a most hatred cryptocoin, LOL.

I'm also selling my stash too. PM please.

uhhh you already sold your Dash why are you still here?

I'm DRK supporter from the beginning, don't mistake me for a troll. But this time is really ridiculous. Just imaging that someone just killed the coin you love the most, what do you think ? I have a broken heart here, seriously.

That is only your opinion and I can't see the rationale behind it, yet I respect it. You should also respect the opinion of everyone else that recognizes rebranding will help us reach and serve more people, with the same exact technology. This technology is very good and should be shared with the world.
