Re: [ANN] XtraBYtes - The Proof of Signature Blockchain Database

I know I'm brand new here and haven't earned the right to give input yet, but I'll give it anyway. Grin

There are already a lot of coins that start with X. I think Xtrabytes might do better with a more distinct name. Maybe something to do with signatures?

You must be joking, I find Xtrabytes a good brand name and is well thought for the masses.

I already had a short discussion with AsikeyZ on Slack about this:

Thank you for your input... we can do all sorts of things for promotions like that to gain market size. We could not change the XBY and the name XtraBYtes came out of this through community interaction. The bigger picture also came from this in the sense that our main service will be decentralized shared storage (bytes) Hence... XtraBYtes :wink:

That is the brand and we can become the #1 brand very easily with a name like that.

@ccrevolution Gotcha. I hope I didn't sound like I was fudding. I just like the signature aspect and think it would be cool to portray that aspect in the branding. I understand better now why that name was chosen.

@aiskeyz never thought that at all April... We will build big campaigns around the PoSign... Cool

I've been around crypto some years now and follow things very closely. Can I suggest you don't focus on the storage aspect TOO much because there are already coins doing this, coins like Storj and Sia just off the top of my head. Its not that unique and won't produce much interest or market cap. I liked the idea of building a whole ecosystem but also people are talking about that quite a lot but IS a great direction long term....a kind of decentralised Google. BUT the major focus and selling point which makes this coin unique MUST be the static nodes and POSign way of securing the system. TRUST me this MUST be the focus. Unique wins, copying others won't.
