Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend | Instant TX
I truly feel the name Darkcoin is going to forever diminish the possibility of mass adoption.

Embrace the name, love it and others will love it too
The name Darkcoin is one of the main reasons we have been successful so far. It ignites debate and keeps us relevant, the media likes stories that sell and Darkcoin gives them just that. Passion positive or negative is good, indifference is the enemy.
Yep, nothing mobilizing the masses more than when they can "hate" something.
But when they realize that it actually helps them, they change their mind.
Because there is only one thing stronger than hate, and it's profit.
If Darkcoin becomes eCash, everybody will profit, even the bad guys.
It's like when "horse money" gets replaced with "automobile money".
