I suggested[0] the same thing a few months ago with a visual example of what I had in mind. Here it is again as a reminder: https://i.imgur.com/ZNQTn7q.png (I still think it's a great idea!).

I agree with you somewhat that using curse words in book titles can be amateurish, like clickbait in the physical world.
PS the reason you're being downvoted is most likely because you prefaced your comment with "I know my karma is going to get nuked, but...". That's very Redditesque and is usually not tolerated.

A simple solution is to not leave this book out for your 9-year-old (or realize your 9-year-old really isn't interested). You can't seriously expect them to release a PG alternative.

> That blows my mind.
Really? I don't find it that shocking at all that most people might type at a tenth of the speed a programmer can type. I'm sure a chef could express the same awe at my inefficiency when making Kraft Dinner.

Darkcoin is closed source[0] and the creators[1] of Darkcoin show no history of working with cryptography, peer-to-peer, or any form of anonymity/security in general. One of the two founders does however have an interest in "financial markets and economics" and nearly all tweets on the official Darkcoin Twitter account[2] are about the market price. This reeks of scamcoin.

> Although, you are talking about PG (who is the founder of this forum), so you might get downvoted just for the hell of it ;)
I'd like to add that while this may be true, it's not a good thing. Any act of silencing someone in an act of fanboy revenge is an embarrassment to this forum. It's a shame the downvote threshold doesn't rid of this type of behavior, and I doubt raising it would help. I'm tired of seeing grayed out controversial opinions.

None, it appears O and ở are interchangeable to Google.
