Title: Shall we rename "XT" to "X" once it is upgraded to avoid confusion?
Post by: toast on June 23, 2014, 06:25:15 pm
Seems like people like having one "main" chain. Once XT is upgraded we can call it "BitShares X" for everyone to be able to rally around, since having a family of chains called "bitshares X" is apparently too abstract to handle. This one will have a small number of BitAssets and also normal user-issued assets.

Of course there will still be a family of chains as was always the plan, and I guess we can call it "The BTS X family". "BitShares X" won't trade altcoins or fiat (besides USD), those will be "XC" "XF", etc. All snapshots from bitshares X with 100% initial allocation.

Would this add or remove confusion?

Why not naming it something meaningful for everyone and using that (full) name everywhere until people start using abbreviation(s)?

DISCLAIMER: Actual order of DAC creation may vary, with the exception of BitShares XT, which will be the first to launch, and which will convert into BitShares X once the testing phase is over.

ngl, i always thought that BitShares XT will be renamed to BitShares X after the testing phase is over. Then what exactly do you mean "which will convert into BitShares X once the testing phase is over." ?

The" initial allocation" how to turn  "final allocation"?
I think it is should be voted by bitsharesX.

For sure, if the test is good, why we keep the "T".

I think the "T" was to help distinguish the MVP from the final product; however, I don't think most people followed development closely enough to know the difference.  Simply calling it "X" with the understanding that the chain will be upgraded to include everything is a much better approach IMO.
