Or something like Bloated Whale File Glob

Nice name but endlessly discussing about names and trivial things like that is what kills these kind of project.

I agree if that is all that is happening, but I think there is stuff going on here. I disagree about the name being trivial, the name, as any marketing people will tell you is vital if people are to actually use it.
Otherwise it could end up just be a bunch of nerdy guys secret project.,many actually like it that way..
As a comparison I say look at Secondlife and 'Opensim' or Opensimulator..they are basically the same thing, but one is free has less restrictions and should be more popular....why have non-geeks never heard of the latter ? The name Secondlife tells non geeks exactly what it is. A Second life but a virtual one..
Opensimulator tells only nerds, techo's and geeks what it is .. as does 'file system'.
If this is a net it should say so..what sort of net is it ?
Internet ..I get that ..intranet ..I get that !....outernet ? overnet ? uninet...? ubernet ?
I like Ubernet..
If it is a net or internet it should say so..

@manlea the Secondlife vs OpenSim analogy is a poor one. Secondlife has a great marketing team with money behind them, and im pretty sure they have actually ran commercials. OpenSim is nowhere near as pretty, and doesnt appear to have as many features, on top of having almost zero marketing. Its name isnt the issue, Everyone knows whats "the sims" are, and OpenSim draws that immediately to mind for me.
Users don't need to know what an Operating System is in order to use OS X.

Deliberating on the name of the protocol is silly.
Lets focus on making awesome tools for IPFS, which can take a variety of names. Unless there are some killer apps that can rival the likes of Dropbox and git, IPFS will go nowhere.

@ericvicenti this discussion is a year old :)
I'll close this thread to indicate this better.
