how can i join the BLK slack ?

Have you found the URL yet?

nope

http://slack-blackcoin.herokuapp.com/ bam!

In concerns to branding: I agree. I have played with the name Onyx and Carbon and like both. They also go with the theme and have none of the -coin in it. We as a community could make design and branding concepts or pitch in to hire a professional branding company and we all vote on which designs we like the most.

Of course, that is if we go that route.

(In regards to if we don't hear from the devs, I guess I'm one of the strongest in the Blackcoin sphere in terms of branding since I have access to everything to make it possible.)

If the community wants it, it will be done. I will also ensure to be the one to enforce it.

Onyx is a good name, but, iirc there was a Onyx coin long time ago and it turned out to be a scam coin.
"Carbon" imo isn't a good choice. "Carbon emissions", "Carbon copy", etc.

Rebrand shouldn't have to do anything with the "black" ideology. Just my humble opinion, though.

Maybe we could raise a bounty for the best name? I'm willing to chip 136.84274725 BLK (so I round up my holdings ;p).

Let's make a public vote.

EDIT:
Here's a tool you could use to get some ideas:
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse

The dev IS around ... he checked in today as a matter of fact, so lets dispel that misnomer. That what Profile pages are for. He does not HAVE to speak everyday. The are +1600 pages, he is not required to show on every one of them.

I do not see the problem with the current name so I would ask for a vote prior to any change. The members that visit Bitcointalk are only a small fraction of the coin holders and not practically representative of the whole. The community is spread across many mediums, IRC & Slack & Bitcointalk to name only a few.

I do not think that we should be holding Dash's change as a sole example of "proof it works". More was involved than JUST a name change, we have to keep that in mind.

No Bounty should be used! That brings greedy people and often only OneTimers. If you want suggestions it should be done by those that care about THE coin, not just by those that care about COINS (do you see my meaning?)

We have always been the Dark horse in the crypto-game, and would like to see some reasoning as to why someone would *not* this coin for any practical purpose (ie the statement "Realistically, no one is going to use a platform called Blackcoin for child support payments." )
