Plasma: Scalable Autonomous Smart Contracts

Plasma is already the name of KDE's desktop interface. Reusing the name of an already known project is confusing.

And before KDE, plasma was already the name of a state of matter. It wasn't confusing to reuse it for KDE's interface because the context makes it clear. Same here.

Finding a good name is hard, especially if you want a single word. Going with "Plasma Contacts" or something similar would easily remove the ambiguity.

Yeah, I just click thinking that was something about KDE. Bad feeling give mes, someone that "steals" some popular opensource name for his business.

Yeah it really sucks when people do that. Glad it's not very often.

Using basic/common 6 letter words is not any sort of theft.
