Sounds awesome but the naming is unfortunate. Dark Mail, to the average person, will have a negative impression. It sounds scary and intimidating and something those darn illegal hackers use.
- newaccountfool 12y agoI just went to the talk and they have renamed it to DIME. Possibly for the reasons you have stated. Levison stated that all big projects go through a name change when in development.
- newaccountfool 12y agoI would upload the Slides, but I can't find it on the disc that every one gets with a ticket.
- higherpurpose 12y agoIt's not just average people, but "average tech writers" too. If it keeps the name Dark Mail, most of them would use the angle: "Dark Mail is for hackers and criminals who want to escape law enforcement's snooping"....or something like that - rather than the "DIME is for people who value privacy and want to escape the government's mass surveillance" angle.
