@people who prefer the name spark: There is already an altcoin called spark.
Theres also a bitcoin remittance business already called bitspark.
I would prefer the name to be Spark personally, it is much better.
Sparks are the unit, Sparkle is the system. It keeps things separate vs all of the confusion of Bitcoin vs BTC. BitShare vs BitShares vs bitshare vs bitshares vs BTS.
I don't want to overload the name.
Looks good, great work.
Apologies for the offence MiraThe crypto-equity & currency demographic is 90%+ male and will remain predominantly male even as it expands into other key markets in the next few years. So something masculine/neutral is better than something overly feminine from a branding POV & 'Sparkle/s' is particularly feminine.
As a male, I have to say that I think sparkle is a far better name than spark.
I am also sad that the creator of this coin apparently really hates BTS. It wouldve been fun trying to create pony memes for it.
Yip, your answer highlighted the only way the brand name works, as a meme/joke. Like make it really pink, sparkly with pony memes & calling their wallet a purse'Damn bro, my pink purse is all out of sparkles!'
I disagree. This does not force us in any way to constain us to a meme. We are only constrained by our own willingness to reimagine everything.
Sure, though, we could definitely be effective approaching it that way if done right.
I personally imagine that "the more you know" symbol:
Only with the rainbow spun around in an ascending spiral with the star in the middle, and whatever coin it is sharedropped on encased by the golden star (so people know it meets minimum requirements to be called... " powered by BitShares ").

'Damn bro, my pink purse is all out of sparkles!'Regards the name, Sparkle sounds quite feminine. Have you considered just 'Spark'. That sounds more masculine and impactful. Spark a fire/revolution/idea etc.
'All you need is a Spark'
Good grief!Your comment sparked me.
I would think it's empirically obvious that feminine IS impactful. What's your problem with feminine? And anyway, I don't particularly like the name BitShares, but think it would be silly to get sidetracked by aesthetics instead of finding out if it were a worthwhile thing or not.

If anyone is paying attention outside this little community, they will see that counterparty is now a protocol layered over 3 coins (at least...) and growing. BTC, DOGE and now Vericoin are using CounterParty protocol for their --Party coins.
They are essentially giving it away to people who mine and they have a means by which they can have people burn their tokens to buy into it, thus getting a stake. However, Counterparty is severely limited in what it can do--limited by the constraints of the chains on which it resides.
Sparkle could be used for us to clone to hundreds of POW coins, and the original communities could have 80% stake while the rest is sharedropped equally on PTS/AGS/BTS/Sparkle holders. This could be a very good strategy to prepare other communities for a later switch to full DPOS. Try not to get caught up in the numbers sharedropped...
Let's just consider the simple fact that if we do not let our protocol spread far and wide, we are far less likely to see mass adoption that we want to see. Not only that...but I can assure you counterparty will continue spreading, which is fine...if you want to watch their devs getting rich from the sidelines. I for one am all for giving the technology to other communities and sincerely hope we see some forks coming out of this and honoring other coins. If people open their eyes and see the writing on the wall, it is worth receiving a smaller cut of many other chains with something like Sparkle Clones than to just do nothing. This is another tool in our toolbox and I hope we use it to full effect.
Does anyone know of a Dev we could pay with a 100% delegate to clone "Sparkles" to every POW chain out there?
I agree BitAssets will change the world!

Sparkplug?
Paper money is for cleaning oneself. Real Men use BitUSD.
Ain't no BS in BTS. Get yo'self a wallet and start savin'.
) as well as, most importantly in my view, either mainstream marketed no dilution or a fixed forever supply curve. That way just like Bitcoin, even if there were large stake holder blocks, they couldn't change the dilution in favour of themselves without destroying BitShares' value.Sparkle is fully honoring AGS/PTS in recognition of their support and belief in many 3rd party DACs. BitShares will not be honored because of their view of everything else as competition.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I think this will be positively received in the Chinese community too.
You obviously understand the market and marketing. 30/30/30 as you mentioned later should work too.

I am a big fan of PTS/AGS as I was one of the first to be entranced by them...but I will gladly do anything I do to help get BTS shareholders a slice of the pie. It doesn't really do too much difference to me either way as I am pretty much diversified across all of them...but I do believe that as long as BTS community helps support it that they deserve a bit of the stake.
Plus...this is a good opportunity to teach new BTS holders the value of working to show we deserve to be sharedropped on. I believe if we all took this vantage point and really asked ourselves what we each have done to deserve to be honored...and honestly answer these quesions, we would likely surpass our competitors within a year in terms of network effect.
Yeah that's why I think 1/3 each could work too. But OP is correct, AGS & PTS are specifically and carefully marketed and funnelled to be DAC savvy supporters. I'm also of the opinion, BTS is still currently valued at less than the sum of its parts were, which suggests that you may want to sharedrop pre-merger to maximise value. I also think it will appeal to the Chinese community more.[hint hint]
Sounds like you have missed how sprakly is handling your favorite issue.
...now biggie from 20% to 60% inflation in less than 24h...but still reasonable
Just saying it might get very masculine and impactful
[/hint hint]
I love 50/50 allocation. So happyI also like this
what a specific function this DAC support ,or just a copy?
I guess Sparkle is a kind of experiment that examines whether PoW can survive in the future.
You'll have my vote, though most of my remaining stake is in cold storage, but there's a solution in the next update it seems...Yup. I haven't voted with most of my stake yet either. Next update will have a simple cold storage / voter key solution.
