One problem is that the word Root is a swear word in at least one english speaking country. I as far as I know anyway. Maybe it's route that's the swear. An Australian will be able to correct me if I'm wrong. But from what I've been told it's worse than f*ck.

I can confirm that calling this coin "Root" would be the same as calling it "Fuck" from an Australian perspective.

You might want to try some social expermentation with the name.. I did.. before Bitcoins went mainstream

When I explained to people that I was "mining" "bitcoins", I was an eccentric involved in a madcap scheme, but at least it kept me occupied and off the streets.

When I explained to people I was recieving a small reward in "Binary Trading Credits" for "securing the BTC decentralised network by cross-checking and generating SHA256 encryption" I was a highly intelligent individual involved in the cutting edge of technology ....

Don't take my world for it.. Try it for yourself and see what the results are..

P.S Good work on the retarget rate.. we used to hop pools.. now we hop currencies..

Wow, I learn something every day. . . no idea 'Root' was a curse word in Australia!

Name will change, it's just a place holder, I'm going to do a community vote soon.

Had some name suggestions in the 6-week announcement thread from May 3rd.
