Good points all around. However, the bolded part above is what is going to change, imo. There is no reason anymore for BBR to be anyone's "silver."

There are several excellent reasons for BBR to be the palladium to XMR's platinum:

-TacoTime
-Risto Pietila
-network effect

You are not going to force the invisible hand of the market with a pathetic re-brand featuring a godawful name.

That move reeks of desperation. It will put off people like me and have the opposite of your intended effect. I will dump the crap out of Rune, and am probably not alone.

OTOH, there are not a bunch of people clamoring for freshly branded Runes.

If you want to change that 1/15 XMR market cap and implode it down to 1/90 or lower, the Rune rebrand is a great idea. Cheesy

BBR has some great things going for it, even vs XMR. The 1% dev fee looks like a great idea, given XMR's budget crunch (I'm working on a solution, will post it soon).

2 minute blocks may be the better choice. Only time will tell, unless dominated by the QWERTY effect.

BBR has a nice wallet and logo too. BBR is like a toddler, too old to rename but too young to be reasonably expected to be a huge success. Be patient and focus on the tech, not the hype, pumps, and instant gratification.

Oh and here's yet another scuzzy metal band that represents the common perception of "Rune"

I suggested boolberry better than all three suggested names in the "official" thread. My post was deleted there.

I am not buying BBR.
