I dont see why there is such an issue with the change. FUD had a good wallet it was the name that caused the issues. DRK changed to DASH i would assume to get away from being associated with the "Dark side" of the internet so whats wrong with a proven anoncoin wanting to fill that void? I think this is a great opportunity. Besides, when i see "DASH" i think of food not anonymous crypto tech (i.e. Mrs. Dash, Diner Dash, etc)

Keep in mind, i know nothing about DASH formerly DRK other than what I bought and sold on the exchanges.

I thought Carson's answer was quite amusing, but I'm not generally a troll, and I'm not butthurt, so I suppose I should address this Cheesy

I do know a fair amount about Dark. My objections are on both sides here. I think that Dark was just plain stupid to drop the name after going to so much time and effort to become one of the few cryptos traded for fiat, goods, and services on multiple platforms. Trying to look all squeaky clean, in my arrogant opinion, will cost them a lot of ground that they fought hard to gain. I have FAR more issue with what they did than what FUD's devs did.

I think that grabbing the name, opportunistically, is a bold move. Even pretty amusing. I just think that it will cause problems for you in the short to medium term, as people will still associate the DARK name with, well, (balder)DASH. In time, if you play it right, it might be a good move. Or it might piss off more people than it amuses or attracts. I guess that's up to y'all.

Me, I'm gonna watch. I like a good show Cheesy
