The name like any brand, conveys longevity, success, good word of mouth, lower risk. People that aren't super knowledgeable care about brand names because they are aware of their lack of knowledge. Even knowledgeable people can sometimes care because they know of the force this has on mass quantities of other folks.

I'm gonna keep pressing this point too: if S2x is so assured of it's success, why does anyone even need to come to these forums to talk about it?

It's because S2x needs to scare users into using it, that's right isn't it? And that just proves that the NYA instigators have hashrate, and that hashrate is not enough. S2x needs users, and it's unlikely to get them.

I have no connections with btc1 developers, don't know them, never spoke or emailed to any of them. Just what I can read in publicly available places.
Bad Motive/Character insinuations are all to frequent on the net and don't help.

As for me personally, I am not assured of jackshit. I am trying to game out what the most likely outcome of relative chain usage. I have a personal interest because I like Bitcoin and I have a bunch of them in my hardware wallet. At the same time I've recently done a bunch of reading on Merkle trees, Merkle proofs, and even the first paper on public key cryptography in the literature by ... Ralph Merkle.

Its just a hobby - lighten the f up.
