In the eyes of governments would the donation phase for XEL be seen as an ICO or something different?
It's not fake FUD. It is an issue I have raised before. We should be conscious of it rather than dismissing it.
Well, we could decide to rename that thing - maybe just XEL? Or we could write it with a "k" at the end? We could also try to find out if this would be necessary first. It's up to you @community.
ElastiK sounds very good.
I think ElastiK sounds good also, but I do not think there is an immediate need to change it just yet.
