RaiBlocks is rebranding to Nano. Here's proof
Hi all,
Within the past few hours, a screenshot has been circulating that is creating the base for a rebranding rumour, wherein Raiblocks would be rebranded to Nano, and we'd be partnered with Dadi:
This was immediately shot down by Raiblocks staff, who said that:
"There's been a shedload of rebrand suggestions lately. Looks like someone went to a lot of trouble to put this one together."
https://www.reddit.com/r/RaiBlocks/comments/7nup8y/raiblocks_rebranding_to_nano_big_if_true/ds4naxg/
However, I have reason to believe this is just a cover up, and that a partnership is on the horizons. Here's why:
I did a search on Censys for raiblocks.net:
https://censys.io/ipv4?q=raiblocks.net
It bought back a result for 'Nano Wallet'. It returned an IP address with a mirrored version of the current RaiWallet with updated branding. Here are the screenshots I got:

It has since been taken down, but there is a support email for [email protected] visible in my third screenshot.
So, I did a whois for nanowallet.io, and this is what I found:

REGISTRANT CONTACT
Name:Christopher Mair
Organization:DADI
Here's a screenshot of that: https://imgur.com/a/8ukQd
That's right, DADI. The same DADI listed as a partner in the original screenshot.
Therefore, Raiblocks will rebrand to Nano in the coming weeks. This is incredible news, as I feel DADI will be one of the biggest players in 2018
Additional proof, the CTO of Dadi had a repo in Github called raiblocks:
"http://158.69.141.179/ is the RaiWallet (test build maybe). http://158.69.141.179/resources is a 404 for nanowallet.io"

Rebranding seems plausible given that Raiblocks is really a stupid name and appears to be more like a working title.
Good sluething, if it ends up being true.
Raiblocks is pretty awful, and easily confused with Raiden Network, which is why we did research on both to know the difference, here's the more recent expose on Raiblocks...

What is DADI exactly, is it Amazon Web Services the crypto version? Do they have a similar founder to Raiblocks or Nano Wallet guys?
