RE: Hive-Engine: Diesel Pools are already in testing!

Great reading your updates. I think "Diesel Pools" is probably a pretty bad name. The world is moving to sustainable energy, so the metaphor of "this is diesel for our Hive Engine" sounds like the archaic fossil-fuel machines that we want to move away from. And there's big concerns about blockchain tech contributing to climate change with its energy requirements (we know that applies to proof-of-work, not DPOS, but to newcomers these things are not clear), so will people seeing this name think that it's dirty and polluting in some way? Surely we can do better to make blockchain more attractive to newcomers, and names play a big role in that.

Hope you get what I'm saying. Excellent work anyways.

While we're at it, Hive is a pretty bad name, too. There are already several established Hive communities, sites, programs, projects, groups, and organizations. Pretty sure we're stuck with that now though. Bzzzzzz!

Indeed.
What about "Hiveswap" or "Unihive" instead?

The world sure is changing

Very good point there, I really hope the word Diesel gets taken out from the naming. Swap and Uni are definitely hot and happening right now. Either one would be fine.

I agree. The name sounds dirty.
