Bleating
Keep bleating, you're almost making an impact

On a more serious note, how many of you thought that the Darkcoin name would be acceptable to anyone outside the cryptocurrency scene or the darkweb? Be honest, I personally thought it would crash and burn shortly after launch. Why? Because the world is full of sheep who's head would explode if they had an original thought or god forbid challenged the status quo. The crypto scene is better but not by much as you can see from the thread.
DRK is being pigeonholed but we all knew it would happen. Evan seems very idealistic to me, and I'm guessing that his hope was that we could explain what the name represents but the brutal truth is as soon as real businesses hear Darkcoin they have made up their mind before another word comes out of your mouth and he now realises this. The name is a heavy weight around the currencies neck and has to be cut loose in order to become more widely and openly accepted.
Like someone else mentioned, nothing is changing under the hood the technology stays the same its just a paint job and one desperately needed.
My vote is for a change, but
only if we get professional input so we don't run into this wall again. This has to be the final rebrand, it has to be done right, with input from financial marketing professionals. They don't have to understand all the crypto details in order to market it but they do need to understand and have experience in financial products marketing.
