Excuse my ignorance but what is a "MRO" or "Monero"?
I realise this was answered.. but also should bring to attention that its not "MRO" any more.
Changed to XMR a short while ago, for ISO Compliance reasons apparently (who knew?)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg7098497#msg70984974. In order to maintain ISO 4217 compliance, we are changing our ticker symbol from MRO to XMR effective immediately. This change primarily effects exchanges at this early stage, as we are sure that MRO will continue to be used colloquially and in general discussion. We are aware that this may cause a little confusion, but we feel it necessary to make this change early on rather than later when Monero is more widely spread.
My first thought was "this is bullshit".. but then I read a bit on the X-currencies with reference to the standard.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#X_currenciesSo I went and checked the reserved codes list for MR and found its Mauritania.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1This actually shows a bit of forward thinking.. for integration with existing infrastructure and networks (e.g. forex trading), its pretty much mandatory that a currency conform to the standards. The flip side is a philosophical one.. do we (the people) want that integration?
