Good questions. (Aside from the one about Hydra. I don’t think many potential investors are going to google hydra and then confuse a dark market for a scaling solution. I don’t think many of them are going to google hydra in the first place and I think the ones who do will know the class of object they’re looking for. An aside, they also named their development suite “Plutus”, which another crypto project has tried to claim, but I’ve never heard of that project before and might never hear of it again and don’t remember what it was.)
I wouldn’t trust most people who say “Our approach is better”, but Charles keeps generating plausible signals of actually having deep, impartial knowledge of every approach so I am inclined to trust this one. I’m not really sure if it’s reasonable to expect to find a competent advocate of a crypto stack who is not deeply invested in its success, in fact, a lack of investment from an advocate should probably read as weak evidence of insincerity.

The issue isn’t simply about confusion but about well-thought out naming choices. I don’t see any good reason to use the name.
Hydra has 600% year over year growth and there’s a good chance that it will be talked about a lot more in 2-3 years.

Some people and broadly invested and have spread their investment over multiple different projects. I would consider those to be more impartial then the founder of a project.
The reason to call it “Hydra” is that the scaling solution works by “growing” “heads”. It is very hydra-like in its behavior. It might have been named before the marketplace was a (visible) thing? (They may have been developing it for a while)
