Also by Zoid announcing the decision to retain the Boolberry name, it is possible that he might have caused those who invested in the new name choices to sell.

Boolberrium, Auroolberry, Boolberrius. Compromise. Cheesy

I'll invest my bitcent in BBR if they change the name. Even though Boolberry is a cute name on it's own.

It would have been interesting to see the effect on the market though if in fact they did change it. DuckNote changed to DarkNote. DuckNote is a shit name though, so I'm not surprised they wanted to change it. Funny that they chose to go with the 2014 altcoin vogue tag of 'Dark' though.

DarkNote is a branding disaster - they should have stuck with duckNote which is in keeping with the random quirky anarchic and meaningless nature of modern branding, if not the universe in general.

In short, duckNote was harmless.

A successful anonymous coin should have a harmless name, so when it makes the case for the libertarian argument on Capitol Hill everyone will rally around and say YES. Anti-anonymity sorts will be throwing all kinds of words around like terrorism, child porn, drugs, money laundering, tax evasion....but thankfully, due to the cute nature of the particular ducks involved, liberty wins over an accommodating (and a little idiotic) heart.

But DarkNote? Darkcoin? Yeh good luck with that. The first objective of an anonymous coin would be to disassociate yourselves in the eyes of the media, public and government, of the "evils" of the darkweb... And look what you just done did? Handed it to them right on a plate.

Where's the cute ducks masquerading for the 2.3 trillion mafioso terror campaign? Did Gus Fring teach you nothing??

This is why Monero wins.

That's a decent case for having the cute name for the anonymous coin.

Dark anything is just bad business. I agree. In probably gains more 'investors' now in the short term as it's popular, but in the long run it can only hurt.

Names like Monero and Bitcoin are just neutral imo and won't stop people from labeling them the money of terrorists if they want to.
