and this trademark claim problem of dark, always trying not to mention its existence
Do you know something that the rest of us do not? I'm sure council wouldn't have green-lighted Evan to mass email everyone about the name change if there wasn't a case to be made. Further, DASH =/= Dashcoin. Further, your dev negotiated a deal for the rights of the name. Go talk to him.
because evan bought dashcoin github account to file trademark claim against a company, he needed it badly to file for DASH...the way i see it dashcoin has more right for DASH trademark since they are already using it for commerce. your argument that "DASH =/= Dashcoin" i null and void..this rebrand thing DRK is doiing might backfire on you. here is the catch DRK is not using "DASH" for commerce until march 25th (you official rebranding date).
