Hi. I have some questions about altcoins. I see alot of dead ICO's about certain coins, essentially hijacking the coins name without using it. These are generally threads from 2013/2014, What would happen/is it possible to reuse the name of these coins without getting myself into any trouble etc?
you can reuse the name as many time as you want, in fact there are many coins with the same name, cheack picoin, from 2014 and from 2017, what you need to do is change the ticker, the abbreviation of your coin, to something else, if you have like two picoin, the ticker can be pic or pc for example, and exchange will have no problem adding it
I personally wouldn't even bother using a name that already exists, you'd be setting yourself up for a lot of problems imo. Even if you're using the name of a dead coin and changing the ticker.
It isn't that hard to find a name that's unique.
Recognisability is pretty important and you'll definitely lose some of that when you're using a name that already exists.
