I really believe Zcoin should not rebrand. A few thing to do;
-Stop mentioning/writing ZeroCoin. Remove it from the website so it gets forgotten.
-Get professional help with Branding and PR.
Zcoin and Zcash confusion is only a PR problem. It can be solved without changing the name.
I pronounce it zed coin. Would it be better or worse as the Americans say it, zee coin?
What would PR say?
In my experience from representing Zcoin at conferences and events, it is imperative that we move away from the name. Unfamiliar people always assume we are some fork or clone of Zcash, due to their dominance this is something that in my opinion is not going to ever go away. And as already mentioned, we will soon have nothing in the protocol related to Zerocoin (once the Zerocoin -> Sigma remint window closes), and so the name actually wouldnāt make much sense. I also believe that there should be no āZā in the name at all.
Iāve read through the suggestions, my favorites are Mint and Echo (I really like Mint), as they both help describe the technology.
Iāll also suggest Zed, which I stole from seeing the username Zed.
@Muggles Thatās a good thing to note, but I donāt think itās a problem. Linux Mint isnāt going to create a cryptocurrency and āZcoinā isnāt going to create a Linux distribution. Itās kind of like how Apple Music and Apple Computers co-existed for so long.
As long as we āstay in our lane,ā there shouldnāt be an issue.
It all depends on the people, if the topic comes up to them, then everything will be fine, for example, if you do different things, As in games, give all sorts of āgoodiesā, in general, encourage people)
Sorry for my english
What about rebranding to āZintā for āmintā? (name not taken yet)
Or we can use āZapā for show that a coin is āzappedā in and out of the existance at a lightning fast speed. (Unfortunately, name taken by Zapcoin)
Or we can use āZnieā for āGenieā. The name have not been taken yet. Genie represents energy and playfulness and can create something out of nothing and can make something disappears.We can also use genie as the mascot of the coin.
Sometimes a reintroduction / rebranding is not a bad thing. There should be good press for it at the same time too Iād hope.
I personally love the name Zcoin, its OG, its simple and short, Z to me stands for Zero as in zero proofs which this project will always be based on. Iād prefer there was no name change. Iām also very reluctant to change soā¦
Hi, Iām new in the forum and hear about the rebranding name, Zcoin sounds very good, but I see majority wants to change it, my suggesting name would be icoin or i-coin now that for most people is very common hear āiā at beginning of technological things
I really like the name of Zcoin. The sound is good, itās a short name and well suited for marketing and advertising. The only problem is that the meaning of the āZā no longer corresponds to the technology. Is it necessary to change? I am not sure. The advantage of changing name / brand is that it can publicize and renew the project. It must therefore be done not simply to change, but with major elements of the evolution of the project. And you should have a smart name, already with a marketing concept, that is easy to understand and remember
