Title: Naming of XT
Post by: xeroc on June 20, 2014, 05:28:49 PM
Can we find consensus about NOT calling BitShares XT the _test_ of bitshares x buz maybe (as I read somewhere else)
BitShares eXchange Target

Calling it Testing too much implies a testnetwork worth nothing!

Discuss!

But it is worth nothing...other than testnet and late buyers' chance... It is not a DAC it is a alt coin/test coin...

Also the proto-DAC for BTS X. It's original, intended purpose was as a liquid snapshot to appease all the donors.

Calling it  BTS eXchange Target was my idea but honestly that is what I guessed it meant.  So in that regard it wasn't a suggestion but a mistake.

The reason I post this is not to pat myself on the back, but to point out the level of confusion in all this stuff.

Only an average/below average size donor, but count me appalled by it.

After doing this last sin - quoting myself...

... what the hell, instead of complaining, I will just double down and  load up on cheap BTS XT when it comes out.
