It’s pretty easy to say and quite memorable in my opinion. Are you aware of the Norse roots of the name?

- ehutch79 5y agoFor normal, mainstream people, it isn't.
- donohoe 5y agoIn your bubble that might be the case, but that’s not necessarily true for a lot of other people.
- rnotaro 5y agoSomething like "Zeus" is mainstream. Yggdrasil is not. You can lookup the Google Trends [1] to see that it's not really popular outside of Northen Europe.

- sannee 5y agoThe first sentence on the website says: > Yggdrasil is an implementation of a new name-independent routing scheme and functions as an end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network. Somehow I don't think this project is aimed at "normal, mainstream people"...
- jokethrowaway 5y agoThe set of techies and the set of nordic people are both minorities in the world - but they don't overlap.
- CRConrad 5y ago> The set of techies and the set of nordic people [...] don't overlap. Huh? So there are no Nordic techies?!?
- WJW 5y agoTbh, you don't have to be Nordic to have a basic grasp of mythology from around the world and Yggdrasil is pretty commonly known. Even if people just know it from Marvel comics or heavy metal or something.
- literallyWTF 5y agoNo it isn’t man. In what world it commonly known?
- WJW 5y agoMine, apparently. I don't have any particular connection to Norse mythology afaict, but I've encountered the term "Yggdrasil" at least half a dozen time just surfing on the net.
- hossbeast 5y agoNormal mainstream people don't understand TCP either. They don't need to know about ygdrassil for it to succeed.
