BiteKoin would be pronounced exactly the same way as ByteCoin, and in that case I do see an issue. But there is no other coin pronounced exactly like Cryptonite so it's harder to confuse.
Cryptonite is pronounced exactly the same as CryptoNight, the proof-of-work algorithm used by most of the CryptoNote coins.
It is confusing. I told you this before the coin launched. If you don''t care (it's not the name of a coin), that's one thing. If you are now saying that you want to use confusion as a deliberate marketing strategy, that seems pretty scumbag to me. I don't recommend it.
I regret not participating in the naming conversation earlier this summer, so I could have concurred with smooth on this point.
But the scumbag accusation is too harsh. BF isn't a scumbag, he's just being stubborn (which is a *good* thing) and reaching for reasons to avoid doing something that's a hassle and costs time needed for other projects.
of using deliberate confusion for marketing, not addressed at an individual.
I'm confused here. You were replying to me but this comment seems directed at bitfreak! yet you mention XMR. Did you mean XCN?
