You can't just call it BitShares?

We do call it BitShares and it will be referred to as BitShares everywhere.    Bitcoin has version numbers as well.   

It is just a version number, not a name change.  A version number chosen to represent a MAJOR revision.

I'm hoping the decision is eventually made to do away with the name "BitShares" altogether. Having the term "shares" in our name puts us at more risk from regulators. I really like "graphene"; it sounds professional and more like a modern platform. It also doesn't sound like "bitches" when you say it... ;D

Tell the regulators that "shares" isn't in reference to company shares but rather the "idealized free market financial system" that each participant in the network collectively shares8)

Graphene works very well.

In the non-programming world, 2.0 is a marketing word to mean "the next great thing since our first product, it will replace and revolutionize the market!"

In the programming world, 2.0 means "we threw out the original codebase and started working on another"

So bitshares 2.0 refers to the programming term, not the marketing term.

In versioning programming semantics, 0.x are all building towards the 1.0 release.

The first digit changes where there is a significant functional incompatibility with the previous release. Since BitShares 2.0 is not compatible with the 1.0 API (which the 0.x tree was developing), it needs to be indicated with a different version number. I'm guessing we'll see things like "2.0-beta1" "2.0-beta2" etc. in versions going forward to indicate the difference in API.

As for marketing, call it what you want - but for our internal community discussions, we need to be clear.

Well done.  +5%

Thanks for clarifying that for non-programmers.
