I personally hadn’t heard the ten fingers metaphor - it makes sense but I wasn’t familiar. I do know of the five eyes but likely wouldn’t have made the connection.
If you are taking my thoughts into consideration: no matter how meaningful your project name is, it doesn’t matter if it’s not unique. Now that I know what it means, I can appreciate it, but (until it gets big) I still need to look it up. If you called it something like “Avoid the Ten Fingers” or “Ten Fingers Privacy” it would be a lot easier to find (note that I don’t recommend either of those names, but you’re welcome to them if you find them palatable).
I’m thinking of “ungoogleable.” My best example of this used to be the band “The The” but I guess Google cottoned on to this because they’re the first result now.
Anyway, I’ve never done any promoting of any kind. Please do not take my advice as any kind of expertise. Good luck with your promoting!
The full name is the Tenfingers sharing protocol (& implementation), but I think it’s not high on the search lists because it’s kind of unknown, I have now to publish it so that people can test it and start to use it regularly.
I’m thinking of starting off in ask lemmy, to find places where people might want to check it out, lots of smart people around here :-)
