Ripple, Ethereum, Dash, Steem, Waves etc all don't sound like crypto currency to me if I didn't know any better.
Heck, even DARKNET doesn't sound that crypto either.

One positive thing to note is that it is very rare to find a short name like PIVX that nets zero search results on Google.
So at least I think that's a very good start. PIVX is also an acronym which is very much crypto. Another plus IMHO.

Anyways, for any new name, it is normal to take a long time to sink in.
I've known it for days and is only now slowly starting to grow on me...

P.S. Media company will now be creating the name and logo design etc. Expect more updates as we receive them!
