Title: Language and Vocabulary to Use While Discussing Bitcoin Post by: charleshoskinson on April 25, 2013, 01:56:31 AM With now nearly 200 subscribers for my course within just a few days, it's become apparent to me that if this momentum continues, then there a chance tens of thousands of future bitcoiners will begin their integration into the bitcoin world as my students. Thus, I figure there is a duty for me to solicit feedback from the community about a common language when describing concepts like wallets, addresses, and yes "the Bitcoin".
While technical language should never be changed for the sake of brevity, I have seen a debate about addresses for example. Also the terminology used in describing a transaction is somewhat cumbersome for a non-computer scientist. What do you guys suggest that I include and exclude in my course. What language and notation would you like to see become the standard for our future bitcoiners?
