Hah, so this is what Noodle was talking about when he asked who turned on the botnet for BCN.

No blocks are coming in with "set_log 1" entered in daemon?

I updated the info on The CPU Coin List to show the new name.

Why was Monero chosen as the new name?

Also it is said to be close to the word for money/coin/currency in many other languages.

Ok, thx guys to take the time to address my points. I stopped following the 3-4 threads of Bytecoin/Bitmonero just 2 days ago and came back today, finding yet another renaming attempt (Monero is the best choice yet imho btw) and 4 more threads to follow, so I got a bit upset of the mess I found.
Im happy that apparently the interest in these coins picks up and we see more discussion going and more people joining but to avoid further confusion we should organise our infrastructure and resources.

Especially for new entrants to the threads, we should help them by keeping threads strictly dedicated to either technical help, development and general chatter. The IRC channel is a good place for technical discussion for well educated computer people but its less accessible and information gets lost after a short time. Therefore this forum is most approchable for the general audience and should serve as our prime medium for the moment imho.
With a website coming we could migrate to a dedicated forum once discussions branch out. But lets take over the Altchain forum first

Why did Bitmonero change the block penalty free size from 10 kb to 20 kb? Doesnt that bloat the block chain by a factor of 2? Are there any merits in it? Can the limit change on its own, say miners in general decide to make larger blocks, thus raising the limit over time?

Realistically it seems like it is going to be hard to ever get ageement on the reverse stock split idea, so we'll likely have to do something else, or nothing. My favored plan is to move the reward curve out and then temporarily reduce the current rewards until the total drops to match the new curve, but there are other ideas being thrown around.

Any change to the emissions schedule is a hard fork, but some are much easier sells than others. While I don't agree that the reverse stock split is "taking coins away" I definitely understand that people will see it that way and it will be hard to accomplish realistically, so we should do something else.
