Yes, Paul should have named it “DriveCoin” or something. 

Even if the new fork might have merits for experimenting with new things, Bitcoiners don’t like affinity scamming, and that will be a serious headwind for Paul’s project.

It is bad to call it ecash as a way to trick people into buying this ECX thing. When bitcoiners talk about ecash and when even I say "ecash is facinating" and "ecash is the future of payments" I am talking about the protocol ecash which was originally invented by David Chaum then revived by Calle to use on bitcoin (not that bitcoin depends on ecash, but ecash is just yet another way to use bitcoin). What is super annoying is when people then go to look up eacash and they find this ECX scam and think that is what I was talking about when it wasn't.

The name of it "ecash" alone makes me simply reject it. Just another poop-coin.

If this wants to even be considered, it should not try to thrive off of fooling people by hijacking the word "ecash".

1. The very word "ecash" makes it a scam
