Of course there are name collisions everywhere, but, there's a metacomputing/grid computing/distributed OS thingie named "Legion" from the University of Virginia that has a bunch of papers about it in the CS literature.
Oh, and we saw off the American Legion threatening to sue us by saying "We're the State of Virginia, go right ahead..."; what's your strategy? :-)
- aviaviavi 9y agoHeh, well if there are actually problems I can definitely change it... But I only meant this to be a fun, small, open source blockchain example (and to learn more Haskell). So I didn't put too much effort into the naming part :)
- jboynyc 9y agoYou mean this project might be summoning daemons that will claim, "Our name is Legion"? http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=363093142 http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=363093142
- greglindahl 9y agoHumorously, the professor who named it thought the quote was from Heinlein. Not much of a Bible-reader. Edit: Apparently I'm not very good at remembering my SciFi, maybe it's this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Legion_(short_story_collection) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Legion_(short_story...
