Vote on the PIVX Electrum light wallet name
PIVX will soon have another Light wallet offering, this time a fork of Dash Electrum . However I'm not that keen on the name PIVX Electrum, especially as it should technically be called PIVX Dash Electrum, I feel that this type of naming convention is a little dull, So I decided to open up a vote to find a new fresh name for PIVX's latest light wallet.
The process so far has been pretty straight forward, I asked the PIVX creative team to put forward an idea, I also got 1 idea from PIVX supremo Snappy , plus I added one myself. so without any further to do, here are the options.
- PIVX Electrum
This is what we had originally planned for this wallet to be called, this name is pretty self explanatory. The wallet will be a fork of Dash electrum however so perhaps it should actually be called PIVX - Dash - Electrum. The main positive for this name is that 'Electrum' is a recognisable brand within crypto and this added trust could lead to more downloads and usage of this wallet.
Pros :
- Self explanatory name
- Already recognisable brand
Cons :
- Name is rather dull
- Polite
This is my own suggestion, derived from PIVX light wallet. I feel that the name Polite is inviting and non aggressive. Often newcomers to crypto are a little put off by the complexity of things and the technical terminology. I also feel that the word polite is very much in keeping with PIVX values and the family vibe that our creative team have conveyed over the last few years.
Pros :
- unique easy to pronounce name
- friendly and inviting
Cons :
- No brand recognition
- Name isn't 'techy'
- Zephyr [zef - er]
Zephyr was the suggestion from Rhubarbarian, head of PIVX creative. Rhubarbarian is the man responsible for coining the name PIVX itself, so his suggestions will automatically carry a lot of weight even if he didn't go through his usual complex naming process. Zephyr is a noun that means a gentle mild breeze and can be used to describe various things of fine light quality such as fabric, yarn etc.
Pros:
- In keeping with the 'Z' naming theme
- Easy to pronounce and descriptive
Cons:
- Zerocoin may well not return to PIVX
- Nibiru
Nibiru is the offering from the mercurial talent Dr Bryan Doreian also known in Purple circles as Snappy. Named after a controversial nonexistent planet Nibiru is an easy to pronounce name and has its etymology in something that was talked about but never actually seen, lending itself to privacy well.
Pros:
- Interesting etymology
Cons:
- Linked to 'crackpot' conspiracy theories, as described by NASA
