About AUC being already taken don't worry, we are currently working on this case with other people and we'll have a reply to you all soon Wink

Everything looks very good I rate it very good because of Ludmila's  smile the issue about AUC already being taken is a serious concern we hope it could be addressed have you done a research before launching your version so many projects with similar name and ticker sometimes roadmap and posed problem in the future

Hello judeafante, thanks for sharing your concerns.

Yes, we have researched before defining our ERC20 token ticker as AUC. There is no record of it in https://etherscan.io/tokens or in https://coinmarketcap.com/, for example.

The contract name defined in the smart contract code is not unique or exclusive, and the ticker used is up to the community (wallets, etherscan, exchanges and users) to decide. Before being listed on an exchange or officially added in Etherscan / MyEtherWallet by their development team, the creators of a token can suggest any ticker they want. We made sure that there wasn't any listed/recognized token with the ticker AUC and we are not worried by anyone claiming they "own" it. There is no way of "claiming" or "registering" it, and we can't change it everytime someone appears claiming ownership of something that can't be officially registered.

We will leave it up to the board moderator to decide if the messages that are not related to our project (floods/attacks) should be deleted and we won't participate in discussions of this kind.

We couldn't find the above mentioned project because until today it didn't have any kind of activity since January, so our token ticker remains AUC.
