Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 18, 2013, 10:12:55 PM I agree the third one is best, but it's already used as Thailand's currency.

Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 18, 2013, 10:23:40 PM Take a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187468.0 Cool, thanks. It has been already discussed some times ago, btw i like the "classic" one: ฿ Does anyone know if anyone has submitted a proposal to get the classic BitCoin symbol in unicode? http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best?

I never would've guessed Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: Alexander The Great on June 18, 2013, 10:59:26 PM Either middle one or the 3rd one..

It's actually really helpful if it's in unicode. Then it's searchable since it's essentially text, and it's easier to insert wherever you want, and we know there will be cross compliance among different computers. As a business, having characters in unicode saves a lot of time and is quite efficient. Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: acne on June 18, 2013, 11:57:36 PM You should make a litecoin unicode symbol thatd be cool!
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 19, 2013, 12:09:10 AM You should make a litecoin unicode symbol thatd be cool! I agree! All the alt-coins need a unicode character. It doesn't look that hard to submit a proposal: http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: hojuruku on June 19, 2013, 12:46:07 AM the first one for sure.
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: worldinacoin on June 19, 2013, 12:50:04 AM I like the 3rd one best
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: swiftgrid on June 19, 2013, 12:54:08 AM 3rd one of course.
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 19, 2013, 12:57:55 AM So far the third one gets 6 votes and only one vote each for the first and second. The third one really is the closest match, it's just that Thailand already snagged it's virtue.

Post by: Cyberdyne on June 19, 2013, 02:07:29 AM I like the 3rd one best Then why do you display the first one in your avatar? Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 19, 2013, 06:04:41 AM Yes this one is quite pleasing, in an artistic sense. I haven't seen it many places but it was on a billboard in San Jose recently: Honey Badger http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1gagle/lol_new_bitcoin_billboard_in_san_jose_honey_badger/
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 19, 2013, 04:03:57 PM I like the 3rd one best Then why do you display the first one in your avatar? I like the third one best, but also am displaying the first one in my avatar... since the avatar options were so limited.. this one had the best overall design ;) Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: Litecoins on June 19, 2013, 05:15:24 PM I like first one
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 19, 2013, 08:36:54 PM I agree the third one is best, but it's already used as Thailand's currency. wow really? I never would've guessed Yeah! Unfortunately this can create some confusion, especially for international customers. :-\ Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: bones1 on June 19, 2013, 10:03:29 PM I will go with BTC, already used by another country but it is really a problem? Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: elebit on June 19, 2013, 10:29:00 PM I would have to go with the first one.
I've always liked it, feels fresh somehow... also it is not a complete ripoff of the american $ sign. Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 20, 2013, 04:14:45 PM I will go with BTC, already used by another country but it is really a problem? It's not really a problem now... but as the bits become more popular, it might be a problem in the future. Hopefully by then we'll have our very own special BTC unicode character! Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 20, 2013, 10:23:04 PM I would have to go with the first one. I've always liked it, feels fresh somehow... also it is not a complete ripoff of the american $ sign. I totally agree! Super fresh and artistically pleasant. And yeah, the fact that BTC is soo similar to $ is a problem. Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: R3dcell on June 21, 2013, 12:30:30 AM Should make some kind of triangle symbol or something. Or some other weird shape. Something original
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: legitnick on June 21, 2013, 12:34:53 AM I would love to see you make a Feathercoin Unicode
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: Matthew N. Wright on June 21, 2013, 12:37:54 AM Ƀ is unicode and unique (unused for anything else afaik).
We don't want to reuse the Thai Baht symbol people, I don't care how pretty it looks to you. Ł is litecoin's. Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 21, 2013, 04:19:36 PM Should make some kind of triangle symbol or something. Or some other weird shape. Something original Definitely!

Post by: BitGo on June 21, 2013, 10:09:44 PM I would love to see you make a Feathercoin Unicode Yeah definitely, as well as for all the other alternative currencies. All we'd have to do is make up a proposal and submit it. Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: oxoa on June 21, 2013, 10:14:43 PM first one!
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: casascius on June 21, 2013, 10:17:06 PM Ƀ is unicode and unique (unused for anything else afaik). We don't want to reuse the Thai Baht symbol people, I don't care how pretty it looks to you. Ł is litecoin's. By the same logic, won't Ł confuse people from Poland or who speak Polish? This is just a normal letter of the alphabet there. It would be like suggesting that the Bitcoin symbol should just be a "B". Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: HeroC on June 22, 2013, 12:48:38 AM Is it me, my phone, or is the first one not showing?
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: mbelshe on June 22, 2013, 09:42:04 AM I like option b.
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: mprep on June 22, 2013, 11:31:52 AM The 3rd one seems nice to me.
Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: BitGo on June 24, 2013, 05:17:52 PM Is it me, my phone, or is the first one not showing? It should be showing!

We don't want to reuse the Thai Baht symbol people, I don't care how pretty it looks to you. Yeah, this really is the best reason to use Ƀ until we can BTC in unicode.

But the third looks better :) Title: Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? Post by: LimKopi on July 07, 2013, 03:33:57 PM I hadn't seen the first one before.
