Groestlcoin (GRS) Begins Voting Process to Decide About Rebranding

Groestlcoin is a crypto that maybe few have heard of; however, its community is very close and enthusiastic. Its constant upgrades earned it some respect within the crypto sphere for having an active and very up to date development team.

However, one of the problems that users always express has to do with the name. Basically Its pronunciation is a bit strange for the average user, and this is problematic for non-experts who want to start trading.

To solve this problem, the Groestlcoin team has decided to leave the name issue in the hands of the community. In other words, they are holding a community-wide voting process to see wether users support the idea or not.

This opens up the possibility for substantial changes in the future of the aforementioned token, should a successful marketing campaign helps increasing adoption among unexperienced users .

To vote, an user must make a transaction of 1 GRS to a wallet. One wallet will be “YES,” and one wallet will be “NO.”

According to the Groestlcoin team, several situations must be considered before voting:

As can be seen, If the option in favor of rebranding wins, the posterior changes would be substantial. The official Groestlcoin website summarizes some important points;

Please take into consideration that a rebrand will cause delisting from big exchanges, and the lose of our iOS Wallets from the App Store.
If the rebrand occurs, the work for developing Groestlcoin will be shifted towards rebranding it.

However, the consequences of rebranding could be extremely beneficial and stimulate the use of such crypto. As an illustration, a similar case occurred with the altcoin Raiblocks (XRB), which changed its name to NANO, leading to a bullish streak and a positive appreciation among the masses.

Groestlcoin: A Synonym of Innovation

Unquestionably, a focus on innovation is Groestlcoin’s main characteristic. As an illustration, Groestlcoin has adopted much of the technological advances in the world of blockchain before other tokens with bigger marketcap:

• It was the first cryptocurrency ever to adopt Segwit (January 24, 2017)
• It also was the first to ever implement Lightning Network mainnet transactions (April 26, 2017)

In adition to that, Groestlcoin features these innovations, to name a few:

• • ASIC Resistant
  • The most Electrum Public Serves
  • Over 110 repositories of development work
  • Masked IP (TOR+VPN+Address Obfuscation)
  • Off-chain Atomic swaps
  • A myriad wallets for each taste and user:
    • 3 iOS wallets,
    • 11 Android wallets,
    • 10 Blackberry wallets -yes…Blackberry-,
    • Wallets for Windows, Linux,
    • Web-based hot and cold wallets,
    • Segwit and non-segwit paper wallets,
    • Electrum wallets,
    • Multisignature wallets,
    • Samourai wallet,
    • Sentinel,
    • and even a wallet that allows Offline Payments via Bluetooth

 

Just the Beginning

All things considered, there have been few votes up to date. Then again, the system does not take into account the number of users but the number of resources. Based on this premise, despite the community’s strong concern, users have invested more resources in voting for the crypto not to change its name.

The process began today and ends on July 15. At the end, the wallet with the most resources will determine who won.
