Title: Idea: Donate to Sea Shepherd and get them to name a ship Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: tinus42 on June 04, 2013, 11:49:24 PM What if Bitcointalk.org started a pool to donate money to Sea Shepherd so they can buy a new ship (or rename an existing ship thus) and name it Satoshi Nakamoto. If it is shown on Whale Wars that would be a great way to advertise Bitcoin. And it would help to save the whales and stuff.

I agree would be a good marketing tool for Bitcoin and naming the ship Satoshi Nakamoto would be amazing!

Satoshi Nakamoto is a psuedonym and a name that most of the populous will not equate with Bitcoin.

It might irk them somewhat to see a ship with a pseudo Japanese name. :P Title: Re: Idea: Donate to Sea Shepherd and get them to name a ship Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: threeip on June 05, 2013, 12:25:46 AM Better off to call the ship Bitcoin.

A ship named "Bitcoin" would be a terrible idea. Too gimmicky. Not everything has to be blatantly obvious. I would pledge to this pool. I have already been donating regularly to Sea Shepherd ever since I found out they accepted Bitcoin donations.

It would be a terrible idea. Nobody outside Japan would care, whereas in Japan it would turn what should be a positive here (Bitcoin was made by a Japanese person, possibly!) into a big negative. It's not unanimous, but Japanese people generally aren't impressed with people from other countries that are involved in all kinds of cruelty to animals and environmental destruction fixating on the one industry that Japan has and they don't and trying to shut it down.
