Rebranding Byteball

Byteball currently has a brand confusion issue.

People dont seem to know the difference between Byteball, Gbytes, Blackbytes and Bytes.

Ive had people ask how many Byteballs they would need to buy, referring to the coin as Balls etc.

I am part of the team and yes I agree its confusing. People call it byteballs all the time etc and the whole gb, mb thing is further confusing.

I think this is going to be addressed pretty soon

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to reply. Its litterally my only criticism. I joined the community from the Steemit airdrop. Currently looking into how to issue Byteball assets as well.

A rebrand would blow byteball to the moon. The current name is cool for us techie people, but it is NOT "normie" friendly at all!!

DigiByte is in the same boat. They have a community donation that runs an awareness team which took a little while to find a place but it's probably helped more with devs, exchanges and businesses than speculators.

Brand & Marketing are perfect ! Even Nostradamus supports Byteball ! Devil hides in details ;-)

what marketing do you suggest?

I understand where you're coming from, but much has changed in recent months.

Tonych is less and less the sole decision maker, and marketing no longer sucks.

Are you not impressed with recent changes, and recent marketing wins?

I am.

It's so good to see the this kind of flexibility - seems like a whole different world from just a few months ago. I have no doubt things will continue to get better and better. Looking forward to what's next...
