Can you make an objective pros and cons list so we know exactly what to consider in voting on the poll?
We think it is quite obvious as to why the rebrand is happening.
Bad connotations, unable to carry out business, constant questions about Silk Road and the projects name.....
EDIT: We have spelled it out.
The question is leading...
The pro's could be brand recognition, steadfastness in direction/vision or continuity (in a way that trancends team efforts).
Bad connotations could be overcome by proving the world wrong.
To me business should be secondary. Revolution is something of the people, by the people and for the people.
A less rigorous form of rebranding would've been preferable to me, so I voted no, i.e losing 'Dark', while maintaining 'Silk'.
The sense of urgency and haste don't resonate with me either.
Well, I just voted and you all can guess where I put my vote. Hmmm, mine made it 60 / 40 in favor. Yes, I agree with "Revolution is something of the people, by the people and for the people", however I disagree with "The sense of urgency and haste don't resonate with me either". Blockchain technology is moving the fastest it has been for quite some time. I can tell you very little from my day job, but it is being looked at and considered for many "official" adaptions. The sense of urgency is there and any hesitation in action will be detrimental to the future of this project.
I also want to make it clear that I am not a member of the team, they are light years ahead of me in what they are coding. My only involvement is / was setting up and running some DNS seeders. That and investing in the project because I truly believe they are taking it in the right direction.
