ok, that is not bad,
but why not to let the community vote also on proper naming and to choose a logo (there is an old one and a new one)?
a new logo is not very bad, but IMHO people remember the old one and if you fix the old coin, the logo should be original to let the coin be recognizable as the old one, let people vote on it.

Version 0.7.5.0-gbff08fa-beta (old chain) with the old logo it is the original code. Version 0.0.7.build-g891b422 (new chain) is not a fixed the old coin, it is absolutely other code, you can check it on GitHub. The new logo was proposed by aelpop on 10-Jan-2014 at the time when a lot of people believed in 42 and connected with this coin their hopes. As to the full name, it is a reluctant measure to avoid situations like this:

Thanks. I'm connected. The only way this coin will ever make it is if someone creates a website for 42 and maintains it. If this doesn't happen people should just let 42 die. Because if people aren't going to take it seriously there's no need for it.

I made contact to the owner of 42Coin.org, the original domainname, and he wants to sell for $1129. That's to much for me. I offered him $150, he did not agree unfortunately.

Is there anybody else who think that I should put it to a vote?
