Anyone else finds naming important for adoption? Bitcoin sounds pretty elegant to the regular Joey IMO but „ZCash“...I mean...awful. Well lets hope for a rebrand later.
- seansoutpost 10y agoThis is the rebrand. This project was initially ZeroCoin, then ZeroCash, and now the abbreviated ZCash
- 77pt77 10y agoZeroCoin and ZeroCash are probably the worst possible names for something like this.
- nullc 10y ago> This project was initially ZeroCoin, ZeroCoin was an entirely different approach based on different cryptography with radically different properties. ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175156.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175156.0 )
- SilasX 10y agoI don't know ... to my ear, Bitcoin sounds petty -- the "bit" and "oi" pieces are diminutive. ZCash seems relatively neutral to me, not evoking positive or negative feelings. ZeroCash (from which it comes) is somehwat negative, since it evokes "no more money".
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y agoMost villains have no problem with zee name.
- jcoffland 10y agoYou mean like Zoro?
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y agoNo, because Zoro is not a villain? I was thinking of some old Bond villain.
- jcoffland 10y agoAccording to Wikipedia only one bond villain ever had a Z name. That was Max Zorin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_villains https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_villains
- tdb7893 10y agoTo be fair "Google" strikes me as an awful name so it might just be taste.
