Project Blank is very likely NOT the name of Leo's Microblogging App

avatar

A few weeks ago nobody would believe Leo's microblogging app might be named Project Blank.

It was just a replacer until an announcement with the real name would have come out.

But time went by and people started to talk about #ProjectBlank and blanks (as in tweets), and the name grew in popularity.

But how likely is it that the name of the microblogging app will be ProjectBlank or Blank?

I'd say close to zero.

Here's why I think so.

I checked the "who is" details for the "leofinance.io" domain.

As in many cases, the actual details of the owner (like his physical address, phone number etc.) are obfuscated through a proxy, Domains by Proxy, LLC.

But we know who the actual owner is: Khal. He just doesn't want anyone to drop at his doorstep. There are enough dangerous people hiding in the corners of the internet, that's why privacy is important.

The same proxy is used to secure the domain "leofi.io". That's right, the domain for a website yet to be launched and which will probably be launched after the microblogging app.

Same for the domain names of the other apps under Leo: "hivestats.io", "leodex.io" and "leopedia.io".

Now, if we use simple logic, the domain for the microblogging app would already be secured and use the same proxy to fill in the details.

So, I looked for simple combinations using a "ProjectBlank" domain name and haven't found one using the same details as the other domains Khal has. I looked for "blank" too. :) Same result.

There are enough domains available with these combinations, but to think Khal would wait for the last few weeks to get the desired domain name is insane.

This little experiment convinced me - although I was pretty much sure of it even before - that we should truly expect a surprise name, and not a blank filler.

Care to guess what the name will be? :-)

I don't think there was anyone thinking #projectblank or #blank is the name or the project.

Al I know it's a short name, four or five letters and i don't think I'm wrong. But the exact name is only known by a few people, I could count them on one hand, but then again, this is also a guess.

Yeah, it was more of an exercise. It was very unlikely to begin with, lol.

Yup, it's a very well-kept secret.

I can guarantee that the name wont be projectblank.

Cant venture a guess at the name but we will not be "blanking" when the app is released.

We will be doing something else unknown at this point. Maybe we should just say tweeting on the blockchain.

Yep, that's what I thought too. But I also thought the topic needed to be raised, as the name starts to become a brand.

Very interesting your conjecture. I very much agree with you this name in blank space is only to identify it But your name will have nothing to do with it ... Of course, big projects like this one are better to keep it a secret, there are many envies ...

As the saying goes, The fewer people who know about your projects, the success will be resounding.

o Work in silence, let success speak for you ...

That was pretty much a given, because it started out like this:
Project ____, then morphed into ProjectBlank.
Which is the same when you speak it aloud instead of writing it.

But your name will have nothing to do with it ...

It was practically obvious from the beginning the name was a filler. But it also started to become a brand through repetition.

And I have some doubts some people know it was only filling the name of the real project.

Once I was asked what ProjectBlank is. If that person, who used LeoFinance, didn't know what it was, I'm practically sure he or she didn't know the history of the name and that it was filling in for the real name.

Of course, big projects like this one are better to keep it a secret, there are many envies ...

Yep, I agree. And even the name, if it were used weeks before the launch, it would lack the element of surprise on the launch day.

Lol, good point! Roarer would be a terrible name for the app.

Not much time before we find out.
