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 support@nanowallet.io visible in my third screenshot.
So, I did a whois for nanowallet.io, and this is what I found:
https://www.whois.com/whois/nanowallet.io
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"
