I like the Stake-Governed version the most!
Great. Now unless somebody comes up with something better, this is what Iāll be pushing for. I understand it may not be the flashiest sounding thing, but it accurately describes the network, which is what we want. We want people to read it and immediately know what Peercoin is. Itās proof of stake. Stakeholders govern the network. Itās sustainable. Itās the first blockchain to introduce all these ideas. Thatās a lot of meaning packed into a small phrase.
āStake-Governedā really narrows the focus to crypto-enthusiasts - is that what weāre going for?
The more technical the wording, the narrower the audience. All my suggestions have been in the spirit of reaching a wider audience.
e.g. āfairā over āx-governedā many people donāt understand the details of the governance issues, but they can understand the value of fairness. Itās also a much more ancient and deeper idea in the collective consciousness than āstakeā, āuserā or even āgovernedā.
I think we should be standing on the ideas of fairness, sustainability, and history.
We have 2 out of 3 of these already, although āfirstā doesnāt give any indication that the chain has been running for 5 years, which is a huge deal.
Alright, you make a good point here. We need to make sure we take into consideration what audience weāre trying reach. Right now weāre focused more on the tech people and developers I think, where long-term we want to get everyone on board once crypto is more mainstream than it is now.
We could possibly use a narrower slogan now and then when we feel the time is right, switch later on to appeal to a broader audience. Or if you want to pick and only use one, then you can use the slogan for the broader audience and hope that it is enough for people to read past it in order to gain a better understanding what fairness means.
If you want to nail all three qualities, then the slogan would need to beā¦
Fair and Sustainable Since 2012
I know I said it wouldnāt be good to add on the date at the end, but I felt that was more because I didnāt want the phrase to be too long. If you drop all the technical words then it is much shorter as shown above.
I like this.
I agree what has been said above about governance and @zattack point that it shoots at really narrow public.
However, I must ask following. What do we say when someone asks why is this chain more fair than chain x?
In that case how about we just say:
The Longest-Running PoS Blockchain
Enthusiasts already know the benefits of PoS
I understand the view points stated above. To me āfairā is a very general word. Every time I hear āfairā I take it with a grain of salt, cause nothing is fair!
Not sure if that does Peercoin much justice in regard to itās other qualities. But you may be on point, that is the public that will seek us. The people who already know about PoS and what it means for the decentralized network.
Yea, if weāre going for that crowd that is the biggest selling point over other coins and the one that no one can copy - weāll always be the longest-running!
This is good. Or The Long-established PoS Blockchain
I like this. It sounds good and targets the people who already know what PoS is and its benefits. We would need to do a two stage process though. Target the narrower audience right now and then when the time is right rebrand it to target the broader general public.
However I would drop the dash as itās not neededā¦
The Longest Running PoS Blockchain
Sounds like a plan
I agree.
May we use āProof-Of-Stakeā over āPoSā though?
Will it be too long then? Also, do people usually use the dashes? I used to but stopped.
The Longest Running Proof-of-Stake Blockchain
The Longest Running Proof of Stake Blockchain
Which do you prefer?
When I was trying to come up with slogans earlier in the thread, I was doing it from the viewpoint that we needed to explain to people what our network is and what it does in the slogan itself. However, I neglected to take into consideration that Ethereum has already taken charge in that department and converted a lot of minds over to PoS. This means we have less explaining to do than when Peercoin originally released, since lots of people already know what it is, therefore there is less reason to provide lots of details in the slogan.
We only need to ride on the work Ethereum has already accomplished in making more people aware of PoS and its benefits. Instead, we need to one up them by establishing in peopleās minds that Peercoin is the longest running PoS chain and invented the protocol. Most people became interested in PoS after Peercoin had already sunk low on CoinMarketCap, so they donāt realize that we invented the entire concept. This slogan rides on the proof of stake hype and establishes us as first in the marketplace to introduce it.
What about āOrigin of PoSā or āOrigin and Future of PoSā
Yes it is, but I donāt think that it is catchy enough.
How about dropping the word āblockchainā.
Peercoin - The Pioneer of Proof of Stake
It is short, memorable, and even has some alliteration.
@river, I think this is much better. I was concerned about what @hZti said myself. @zattackās slogan while accurate, was a little too long and not very catchy sounding. Origin of PoS didnāt sound much better either.
This is short and catchy when said aloud. Itās actually gotten stuck in my head due to the alliteration you mentioned, which means itās more fun to say than the others. It also conveys the same exact meaning, that Peercoin was the first and is a pioneer in the world of proof of stake. I would like to go with this if others like it too. I donāt think youāre going to be able to find a much better alternative.
