darkcoin name is a bit misplaced, xcoin was a good enough name
We have doge coin, sexcoin, tittie coin, fuck coin, and extreme coin. Yet somehow, people will see dark coin and slink away from the association? I don't buy it.
None of those are socially acceptable either, except doge of course.
If you put darkcoin in a twitter feed, everyone will auto assume you are a customer of Silk Road. I'm just saying that the coin name is one of the major factors in social propagation.
it has already inspired the creation of a 'darkroad'....
That's Right. Loydie, let me ask you, what motivates you to be interested in an anonymous currency?
I see anonymous currency as the right of everyone to privacy and democracy.
I think you guys are on the right track on the technology front, both on the anonymity front and the x11 algo. I also like that you intend to push out the zerocoin protocol when it is available. The name however is a drawback for mass adoption. I overlook stuff like that but many others won't.
In fact, i'd like to develop a coin based on darkcoin. Please PM me if interested.
