Use a name with less dashes

[casey]

rust-bitcoincore-rpc has always been a pretty painful name, given that it's four words with two dashes. This crate has three dashes, which feels like a lot. Also, it's not very obvious what the difference is between rust-bitcoincore-rpc and rust-bitcoind-json-rpc.

I think it might be worth considering using a more compact name which is easier to remember, distinguish, and type.

May I suggest corepc as short for "Bitcoin Core RPC"?

corepc - I like it. I also get annoyed at the current names. Though this repo provides three crates, we'd need names for all of them. Currently

• bitcoind-json-rpc-client
• bitcoind-json-rpc-types
• bitcoind-json-rpc-regtest

They could become

• corepc
• corepc-types
• bitcoind-json-rpc-regtest (dunno about this one, Ricardo's original bitcoind name is the best)

[casey]

corepc and corepc-types both sound great. Maybe corepc-node or corepc-test?

[tcharding]

Nice corerpc-node, be careful, if you keep this up you will become my go to guy for naming things.

[tcharding]

I should have the whole v17 API done soon enough, when I release that I'll use the new names. Thanks bro.

[casey]

Any time! I love making up names ^_^

You got me excited: https://crates.io/search?q=corepc

I did it in my github account https://github.com/tcharding/corepc

Will need input from @apoelstra before I go messing with github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoind-json-rpc repo.

[apoelstra]

Go for it!

[tcharding]

Can you create a corepc repository under github.com/rust-bitcoin please bro. (I tried to transfer but don't have perms to create repos in that org.) Then I think I can do the transfer.

FTR, my plan:

• transfer
• Update the repository field in all 3 manifest
• Cut 0.4.1 releases
• Manually migrate issues
• Migrate open PRs?
• PR to rust-bitcoind-json-rpc README saying 'archiving because yada yada'
• Archive rust-bitcoind-json-rpc

[apoelstra]

https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/corepc created

[tcharding]

I'm a bit nervous from the mistake I made described in #49. I'll do the move when I gather up the courage.

[tcharding]

Done, this repo now lives at https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/corepc
