agreed @WendyDing is awesome

@YakiHonne folks, are you open the the idea of renaming Yaki Honne to something more english friendly? (Of course it would be good to do UX research to confirm my suspicion)

This. Not a western friendly brand.

We are already planning to it yeah lol and we are very open most definitely 🙏Perhaps we gonna do a voting plan and check all suggestions. Maybe we can open a github issue and let the naming contest begin haha

@YakiHonne is awesome!

I respectfully disagree with your statement in regards to why it’s not more popular in the states. While I acknowledge there is a percentage of people who are willfully bigoted towards people of Asian descent, the vast majority have no issue with them. And if I am being honest, the folks at YakiHonne are probably some of the nicest people I have ever known. In my opinion, the reason for their slow rise in popularity in the western hemisphere isn’t their nationality and it isn’t the quality of the product There simply aren’t that many people using the platform yet and when you have more well known clients like Damus, Primal and Nos taking the majority of users, especially mobile, that doesn’t leave much for anyone else. That’s not to say that they will stay perpetually at the back of the pack, as the user base grows and more praise is deservedly dumped upon this team, the more popular they will become.

We did a long form interview with @WendyDing and @npub147wh...selt about their Bitcoin Discovery journey, Nostr and their @YakiHonne journey! To those who are able to understand mandarin, give it a listen. @WendyDing shared about a story that at rural area of Argentine the cashier asked if she has Bitcoin so that they can transact. Unreal.

#85 - 在阿根廷遇见比特币，在 Nostr 上遇见 @YakiHonne (Wendy & Shaun)



在本期《发现比特币》中 , @WendyDi...

I absolutely love @YakiHonne on mobile, and will try to use YakiHonne more on desktop. Well done, @WendyDing, @npub147wh...selt, @Sedd, @Moos, @REDKAZ⚡️| YakiHonne

I vote Yakihonstr

(no I don't)

I mainly use yakihonne

I’ll toss this one out there. I had proposed it a year ago as a new name for Nostr, but nothing came of it so I’m offering it up to @YakiHonne instead. View quoted note →

*Nostur #typostr

"Vomiter"? 😀 (Adam Back just accidentally came up with that and imo it has a ring to it 😅)

LMAO, I can picture this.

Totally unnecessary! English language bias is a sign of cognitive decline, not a marketing win. Very fiat thinking.

Bro, let's be real. It's unnecessary Reeks weakness just because some English speakers can't pronounce the name 😮‍💨 But, if somehow you guys still wanna change it I propose Teh Tarik ☕ 😬

Kopi AIS 🫡 hahaha

Boleh juga 🤣

And maybe you are correct. That said it's not unusual for brands to use a different name in a different country. Burger King is "Hungry Jack's" in Australia, Lay's is "Walkers" in UK, Opel is "Vauxhall" in the UK, Bud Light is "yellow piss" everywhere outside of the US...

Below they mentioned that this has already been considered and in progress.
