Honestly I'm not impressed because of this obsession with "byte" name. It would be better to come up with a more original name. This "byte" thing is pretty popular word and a number of cryptocurrencies already use it:
And now Obyte is supposed to catch people's attention? Nah.
The project is run too much like a company with Tony as CEO hiring some people for some positions and all important decisions are made with no feedback from community whatsoever. It's all behind the scenes during "board meetings" and community is just graciously struck with a "decision".
How about doing it this way:
Wouldn't that be a cool way to do it? Of course it would be. But instead we have this kind of "I'm in charge and I will decide" way of doing things. And here we are with another "Byte" cryptocurrency...

Same can be said about all the cryptocurrencies with Bit in the name. I haven't looked into your examples, but you seem to forget that byte is a core thing about this platform and it is not part of the name just for fun or to be cool like other kids on the block.
Haters gonna hate, no matter what you do.
If you do the vote then you get names like Crypto McCryproface (google Boaty McBoatface - if you didn't get the reference).
