PIVx what does it stand for?

I really hate to say this but Dash is a way better name and I detest that scam coin.

I like Raptor - describes the coin well. Intelligent, stealthy, effective....

Are there really devs queuing up to help dnet if we change the name?

I guess if PIVx floats their boat and they will help dev the coin then that's all that matters. I feel less confident about this coin now for some reason.

I guess it leaves the name darknet free for another coin now. That is annoying too. I thought it was a great name.

I only have a handfull of masternodes so it's not a huge deal. Although if I was holding 50+ of them I would have tried harder to resist PIVx

PIVX stands for Private Instant Verified Exchange. (Exchange can have multiple meanings)

I'm as open as it gets when it comes to opinions. But I also like to question everything.
So with Raptor, I immediately thought dinosaur or a fighter plane. Maybe it's just me?
But maybe that a good thing? Not sure. But I do get search results on both like below.

Many people HATED the new name DASH also when announced if I remember correctly.

DNET devs will work with whatever name. But Darknet had negative/illegal connotations so it had to go if we wanted wider acceptance.
There were paid marketing guys that were twiddling thumbs until we had a new name. So it was better to have one sooner than later.

I was really against PIVX at beginning. But now I think a clean slate name such as PIVX is easy to work with.
It's very easy to pronounce in any language, unique on the net, meaningful acronym, no strong image etc.

Heck, a name is sometimes only a name until the product & marketing backs it up.
An example mentioned on slack was StarBucks. It's now a synonym for "coffee"!
So yeah, please give it time to sink in. It took me over a week to start liking it!

P.S. Now that we have a name that's secured, we will involve this thread more publicly for the name/logo artworks.
It wasn't so easy with the name as any new name needed securing incase someone grabs all the domains, IDs etc.
