Rebrand to Bitcoin Corrr #18489

The image is a placeholder, right? Kinda pixelated and poor quality as-is... Concept ACK |

@jeandudey Please note that the suggested name is "Corrr" (three R) and not "Corr" (two R).
It might not sound important but the third R really underscores that the money printer is running at full capacity.
Somewhat related: "corr" might be misinterpreted as "correlation" and it should be noted that correlation does not imply causation. Correlation is fragile. Causation is robust (like Bitcoin Corrr).

Sorry my mistake, this isn't a blocker for me, of course the correct "Corrr" should fixed ASAP.
Not a strong opinion though.

Nit: Please clang-format -i
to get proper social distancing between -15
and -12
.
Same comment also applies to 270
and 270
(self-quarantine).

And why isn't this variable called rektIcon?
Concept ACK, I think this is really going with the times which is good, but also this only makes sense if it includes a fork to give a trillion BTC in stimulus measures to us. |
I think the pixelated logo is a strong statement: "I'm in it for the technology. BRRRRRRRR" |
Excuse me, you may not know this but while it's fine to rebrand to Bitcoin Corr, the CNetMessageType Buffer is only allowed to be 12 characters long so I'm worried we might have some network issues with the name Bitcoin Corrr as it's 13 characters. As a suggestion, maybe we can just use the name "Bitcorrrn" which is I think more clear to users about the quality of the software they are receiving. |

LGTM
Concept ACK, bring back alert messages so we can announce this to all listening peers. |
Nice! I waited for this... |
LGTM. |
I always support a new logo and rebranding. Not implementing a new, completly arbitrary monetary policy change feels like a wasted oBRRRtunity. |
Concept ACK - All though I prefer @laanwj logo I'm just disappointed it's taken this long to re-brand |
Concept ACK 👍 |
Concept NACK. I propse we rename to something more meaningful. Like Bitcoin Cash? |

"The %s corps" might be a better signal of the strength of our commitment to ensuring there is enough Bitcoin for everyone.
lgtm, I think there should be some more work on the image eventually though. |
Concept ACK, but I suggest to switch to a more meaningful release tag like 1.0 |

Concept ACK -- this will make the user-adoption skyrocket!
May I suggest a small follow-up PR reflecting the new awesome logo:
Changing the following annoying line
Line 1228 in b97e3a7
nSubsidy >>= halvings; |
to
nSubsidy <<= halvings;
With this modern monetary policy, we will fight poverty, and recreate social justice, a.k.a. everyone will be rich. I'm aware that the subsidy could overflow in the long run, but in the long run we will all be dead.
Concept ACK, thank you for working on this. |
I think we should let the free market decide which devs to reward - let's implement separate forks for each individual contributor to this repo (1 trillion BTC per dev) that can be individually signalled using version bits. |
Concept ACK, can this get in time for 0.20? |

NACK. IMO it's misleading as it suggests Core can create more money out of thin air like central banks do, but that is not true.
Thanks for working on this, at last something worth from you. Code review ACK 7777c40. Could split in multiple commits and please add release notes and new test. Building in XP, I'll let you know how that goes. |
@emilengler imo we could jump into version 2 ME. |
Concept ACK. However I saw that the project website has not been updated. I got the new domain to prevent takeovers: https://bitcoincorrr.org/ |
LGTM... as in Let's Get This Money. |
digital cash was satoshi's original vision, maybe it should even moarrr meaningful and be called bitcoin satoshis original vision? has a ring I think |

Concept ACK
Very good improvement! I'm also suggesting to remove this check: bitcoin/src/consensus/tx_verify.cpp Line 187 in 41fa292
I hate it when I can't spend the money I don't have, this is currently a major usability issue with Bitcoin. Fixing this will surely bring about mass adoption. |
Good to know that the graphic designers the project has long needed have actually been with us all along. |
Upon further consideration, concept NACK from me also. This approach is incompatible with the "quantitive hardening"-based relief package coming around May 13th. |
BRRRRRR... DERPPPPP... ACK |

Does this commit automatically enable the end user to receive his Bitcoin Corrr stimulus package? |
