First I would like to say that switching our currency name from BiblePay to DAC is in the spirit of growing the community and not blocking potential users who might view us as overly religious. We are not doing this in any way because we are ashamed of the gospel; but instead to appeal to a broader cross section of the world first.
We can still keep the bible in the wallet, and spread the Gospel of Jesus in certain specific areas (such as the doctrine section of foundation.biblepay.org) if we re-brand.
Anyway, Jesus said the Gospel is for those who are sick and or in need (not for those who are already saved and sealed).
In our last vote, our community strongly gravitated towards re-branding in contrast to having dual brands. One of the old questions was: Should we keep both biblepay and DEC, and the supermajority felt it was not a good idea to maintain two brands.
The supermajority liked DAC more than DEC also (hence why I have more choices up above for variations of DAC).
In light of that, this vote attempts to hone in on the recommended currency name (and see if the idea is maintained).
There are 3 tiny coins with the ticker DAC already: Davinci Coin and DACash (DAC) and DACC - Decentralized accessible content chain (DACC). I think what we would do is hold a separate vote for the ticker. We could possibly make the ticker XDAC (none are taken like that) or DACBBP. So for example: We would be Digital Autonomous Currency (XDAC).
I prayed about this decision and I'm not receiving any negative response about switching from BIBLEPAY, but I don't want to influence the voters, so please vote.
Finally on the Charity vs Non-Charity debate, during the last vote more people voted for autonomous currency than autonomous charity. This is another case of keeping ourselves generic (and not pegging us to the stigma that we spend all the investors money on charity or that the price will always go down because its all spent on aid etc).
If anyone has a variation that is even better please post it and Ill consider adding it to the list. We own dac.ngo, dac.ong, dec.app, and coin.ngo. I kept coin out of this because I believe its just too generic compared to dac and dec.
