Hello @seanxa
Thanks for explanation. Voters will be confused if they see 2 identical names as eos-sweden for Block Producers to cast there vote after chain launches. Is that even technically possible to have 2 Block Producers with identical names? I don't think so. We are not ready yet and I assume SW/Eden is already ready and producing blocks in test networks. So there should not be any confusion from day 1 for voters to cast vote. Whenever we will be ready (if we gets ready in future) we will ensure that we do not use identical name in EOS as Block Producer's ID. We are 100% willing to listen, understand and cooperate with everyone in EOS communities. By the way our logo looks very different than SW/Eden and there is no confusion!
Identical names is not what will cause voter confusion. Some people will see EOS Sweden and think oh that must be Eric because they didn't hear about the name change - no matter how much we post - some people will miss it. There is also a good chance someone will tell their friends to vote for Eric at EOS Sweden and then their vote might not go where they intended.
Voter confusion is not about identical names but about an old name being reused by someone else.
You are right, it will be super helpful that you are waiting a bit before launching. I appreciate that you are so willing to listen and be open and consider the best way to avoid Voter confusion in the future.
