Thanks. I read the part where your developer states that:

"I no longer feel the name Darkcoin reflects the true essence of the project and have decided to rebrand our product".

But that only partly answers my question.

Why did he think that the name Darkcoin no longer reflected the product? Anonymity is a concept still prominently used in the product's tagline.

Your developer goes on to state that: "Currently we’re investigating the name “Dash”." Was the developer not aware of the pre-existing Dashcoin - and the Dashcoin community, who referred to their coin as Dash, and to themselves as the Dash community?

The name is similar and is causing confusion. So, in light of this: why was the name "Dash" chosen?
