Just making sure: Plex has nothing to do with that “enterprise”.

I’d stay away from any cryptocurrency which doesn’t communicate how it works and how to mine etc.

@uwhtp, thanks for the heads up!

Whenever a new site, company, service, etc bearing similarity to our names comes up, we do investigate to see if there are any trademark (or other) concerns. We’re not exactly into suing everyone (clearly that’s not our style), but we want to protect Plex for everyone, users and employees alike. Regarding PlexCoin, I don’t see any issue as they are using the term “Plex” in a different space, just as [http://www.plex.com](http://www.plex.com) is. Now, if their graphics looked so similar to ours that they could confuse users, then we would look at them differently. Regardless, thanks for sharing!
