NEM Community out there! The Catapult migration committee is looking to hear your thoughts on branding for Catapult. There is a survey going on right now to gauge your opinions about it. If you sincerely care about NEM, kindly answer it out. Here is the link for the survey form.

"NEM brand was damaged by negative press after the Coincheck hack in 2018"

Was that really so?    ... NEM's brand was damaged?  though the hack's reason was not in NEM system (if I remember it correctly).



Edit:

what will be the brand of a new system, whose name has meant a weapon during thousands of years?
How such will be branded to crypto future?

Why wouldn't Catapult be just the project name, but the crypto / system would have another name?
If NEM's name really is damaged, then a new name should be created.




I thought a brand new name doesn't change the fact on that hacking. But looking at the NEM team, it is changed as well. So maybe it is time for NEM to rebrand as well as well.


yea, maybe so...


I read the survey's last questions only after writing the post above:)  : There is a question about "a specific alternative name for Catapult".


How long that survey is open?

Is there any rewards for the good new names?



sooooo, now it is closed !   ... missed it, while thinking the names :-(

That is the problem : clarity is still missing from NEM team.
E.g. Always in the beginning of the survey must be told, how long the survey is open, and how long the survey will approximately take.

About the name:
Catapult means weapon. According to the survey's answers it seems that many do not understand it.
Is a weapon name suitable in the world, where is many quite liberal movements (tho many are not-fact-based, but they guide the masses).


For the name must be arranged another survey, with rewards.
