It's a cool name, and I also like the idea of .0 file extensions, but be ready for the easy memes during dips: "Zero is going to zero, sell everything".

Zero is the most recent proposed name for a proposed new programming language (an attempt to replace Go, JavaScript/Node.js, and C++ with something better, more fundamentally sound, modernized, more safe, and less of a clusterfuck). The proposed decentralized ledger’s name (and in fact the future website) is to the left above where it currently is written “Newbie”.

I see, in that case then it's good. I also liked "Lucid" for the programing language but I remember reading that there was another language called Lucid which is really old and forgotten and shouldn't lead to confusion but I guess it's best to use a name which has never been used for a programing language.

What is the idea behind calling it cred? I guess cred.me would be the website to download the software? what other names are considered right now? would the name of the decentralized ledger would be the name of the token too?

Bitcoin is a cool name and BTC is a catchy token name, it always helps. I do wonder tho how much the "Bitcoin" name is haloed by it's success. I wonder if in 2010 or so it was perceived as something cool and catchy or most people would have considered it a dumb name. Once something becomes successful most people no longer question it... it's like "Monero".. when I first heard it I thought it sounded pretty lame, but now people no longer question it, in fact it has became the default "anonymous currency" by the general crypto-population surpassing Bytecoin which I thought was a way better name.
