Bitcoin Forum

I've decided its time to give back.

I have lurked quietly in the shadows of bitcoin for quite some time now, and i have came to realize that its about time i give something back to the bitcoin community. I have decided to use half my bitcoin ( about 3,300 coins ) to form a self funded organization with the sole purpose of helping to spread information about bitcoin to the world through mass media, local "troops" or small groups, a website, blog, billboards, magazine ad's, TV. and whatever else 3,300 bitcoins will afford me.

I AM NOT, WILL NEVER, HAVE NO INTEREST, AND WILL REFUSE ANY SORT OF DONATIONS. I have seen what happens when someone mentions taking donations in bitcoin first hand so please do not even bother asking, that is not what this thread is for.

What i do need, is someone to help me find a name for it. Seeing as the bitcoin foundation is already taken, i dont know where to go. Although i am very creative in terms of Media, graphic design, website design, and animation. I have absolutely 0 creativity when it comes to picking a name. 2 days now and i have scribbled down a page and a half of garbage names. I need any and all help i can get in picking a name so i can file the papers to incorporate.

Things i would like to see in the name;

1: The word Bitcoin, in its whole, people who dont know what bitcoin for sure do not know what a BTC is. so something like ________ Bitcoin, or Bitcoin __________
2: something simple to remember, I.E. if i put a web address on billboards down every major highway, i want the url to be easy to remember until the driver gets home.
3: something formal sounding that implies it is a non profit bitcoin organization.
4: Something original, i want it to be unique, not a spin off of a name someone is already using.

I know that not a single one of you really has a reason to help me, but i also know that there are some amazingly creative people on this forum, so rather than make up a bunch of convincing garbage to try and plea for help, i am just going to ask as nicely as i can.........

Please if you can spare me just 2 minutes of your creative mind i would be forever truly grateful.

Guerilla marketing is probably the most effective means, vinyl stickers at urinals on mirrors under drive thru windows under the drive thru speaker bumper stickers and the great thing about bitcoin is the stickers could actually have a qr code that links you to some free satoshis so people that never considered buying bitcoin just have to pull out there phone capture the qr code and they have some bitcoin

as far as names go , United Sovereigns of Bitcoin, think of it like instead of USA USB like plan B

Bitcoin Task Force (BTF)

Spread Bitcoin

SpreadBitcoin.com easy to remember until you get home.

Just sounds like one of those non-profit orgs you see promoting certain agendas on tv.

Total advertisement fodder.

THANK YOU GUYS SOOOOOOO MUCH, I cannot even think of words right now. i was so frustrated for 2 days trying to think of a name and could not even come close. this means the world to me, all very great ideas i really like where they are going.

Nitrogen i totally agree with you on the gorilla marketing idea, I have had lots of ideas on how to move forward, but lost myself in aggravation for 2 days not being able to name it. I would really like to find a hand full of great bitcoiners and marketing brains to help me best spend some of the bitcoin to get the maximum result. Maybe a small army of people armed with knowledge to start going door to door to local businesses in metro areas and talking with local business owners to get them to accept bitcoin. Info packets, maybe a intro DVD. maybe i can get coinbase to help put something together, it would be free marketing for them anyways. I just got to settle on the name. what you guys came up with in just 30 minutes is 1000% better than what i could in 2 days at this point.

Thank you all again so very much.

Awwwww man........ that was golden, went to go scoop up the domain spreadbitcoin.org and wouldnt you know it, it was taken, and registered for 10 years. I totally thought that was it.

Bitcoin Awareness Project - BAP

or I know it doesn't meet the use "Bitcoin" criteria but

BitConscious

both are .org available

This is so awesome! I'm not the creative one myself...

Should use some of that coin to get an AD on TV! I went to a school with a huge film department and know some very good producers that could make a really professional commercial.. I'm sure they would totally trade services for BTC as well :)

PM me if you want me to put you in touch or some examples of work...

ok... how about... Get Bitcoin, Spend Bitcoin, Own Bitcoin

also, why does it have to be a .org? how about a .com, a .info, or a .bit?

A few more ideas:

Bitcoin Santa
Bitcoin Forever
We Love Bitcoin

How about these?

The Bitcoin Framework
The Bitcoin Initiative
The Bitcoin Keystone

Bitcoin Manchain

Bitcoin Nation

Bitcoination

Bitcoin White Craft Foundation (BWC Foundation). ;)

i made this, what you think?

Coincides with my two threads:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423615.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=419509.0

Wow guys, this was amazing to wake up to. So many amazing ideas, i dont even know where to start. It's going to take me a day to sort through them all and pick one, they are all great which makes it hard to pick.

For all of you who have been messaging me.

I will be looking for some help with web design, not someone to do the whole project, i do web design myself, but with so many things to do i will probably outsource parts of the project.

I would love to find some amazing producers to put together a TV commercial. I have friends in advertising who could help me get it on TV, but i do not know any producers to make one.

I do not care about your sob story as to why you need my bitcoin donations, so you may now stop messaging me with them.

And finally, Yes i will be looking to enlist some volunteers to help run the thing and help with the creative side of things on how to spread the word.


Thank you all again for your help, i never imagined i would get so many great ideas. i will let you know when i decide on one of the great names you have all come up with. Then probably start a new thread for a few other creative projects ( bumper sticker design, guerilla stickers to stick to everything from drive thru's to light posts to newspaper box's, a logo, Etc.)

I'd be surprised if all you get are unwanted PMs for donations. Now that everybody and their mama knows that you're packing this many coins, you might want to be extra careful... you many have inadvertently marked yourself.

Thanks for the insight Cris, hindsight is always 20/20, Lol.

I have always been way over secure with my coins. Luckily thanks in whole to this forum actually, i read an article a while back that explained that the safest place for coins is completely offline. So they will have a hard time finding them :)

and beyond that, most of that 3k stack will be spent in the short months to come on spreading the word about bitcoin and soon there will be nothing left for them to try and take.

Bitcoin Helpdesk sounds really good.

Bitcoin-R-Us.....i'll get my coat

Bitcoinational

We have a winner, and thanks a million to 0nlyBTC for coming up with it.

The Bitcoin Society is born.

Just registered a ton of domain names but www.thebitcoinsociety.org will be the official page domain, I bought .com, .net, .info and .biz just to keep them from being taken, and will probably use them for landing pages or somehow in the mix to better our SEO. Will be starting a new topic soon for some more creative services.

Great thread... but as the famous transformation of The Facebook ---> to -----> Facebook

you may consider simply BITCOIN SOCIETY! :)

Either way, good luck!

I was going to suggest something along the lines of Bitcoin Awareness Team.  The slogan?  "Go to BAT for Bitcoin".

Or one unrelated.  "Every little Bit counts"

Local bitcoin owns the plain bitcoinsociety dot org domain as well as all .com varients of it, at current localbitcoin owns over 300 bitcoin domains that all 403 to their localbitcoin website. If it ever expires or goes for sale at a reasonable price i will scoop it up and add it to my army of domains for the bitcoin society. I have begun work on a website design, but with all of Drupals security flaws i have spent the better part of a day already just plugging holes then pen testing them to make sure they are closed at this point, if i had the patience i would have just scripted my own CMS for the site but i want to focus more on the movement and promoting bitcoin than i do on a website design. so drupal was the logical answer. Only a few days of fixing exploits and plugging holes VS a month of PHP to code a CMS from scratch.

I AM IN NEED OF A MEMORABLE BUT BRIEF SLOGAN if any of you creative geniuses are still following this thread, I have seen too many websites use the stale "breaking the bitcoin barrier" slogan already and want to get as far away from that as possible.

I was thinking something that incorporates my core bitcoin values; Education, information, and telling everyone i ever talk to about bitcoin.

If one of you creative brains could find a way to make the above into a slogan that is brief but easy to remember i might even through you a tip if i use what you come up with, so please POST YOUR ADDRESS with your idea.

I really like this, it brings such a powerfull message to anyone that knows what bitcoin and devcoin are all about.

 for anyone that dosnt know what its all about i think it would be real cool to put a whole bunch of different fiat currencys in his hand so you could have a poster for each country.  ie throghing the dollar with the cryptocurrency symbol kind of picked out in the pixels of the qr code.

 that way it could be used represent all cryptocurrencys wanted and all fiat currencys we are all tired of .

   just saying that what it makes me think   nice work    jasont 

   

i have been reading your post with interest,and it sounds like to me like your values are better suited to devcoin.

as it is merge mined alongside bitcoin and is the longest running cryptocurrency to come out of bitcoin when the money makers split from the open source guys . the  motivation is not just a fair and just money system that cannot be manipulated by money markets but an open source system where everyone develops and creates what they enjoy creating and get paid to do it . in dollar terms devcoin is not worth much but to some it is priceless and will continue to climb as more and more people actualy earn it rather than trade it back and forth speculating . check it out there is more behind it than you would think at 1st glance .  jasont

There could be a commercial that has a child somehow turn a play on words between the phonetic similarities between the words 'better,' and 'butter,' into a joke. Kid humorously confuses better and butter, then calls Bitcoin "butter money."

Butter money.

Bitcoin, money for butter, butter money

For anyone who was still following the project, i just posted a small gig with $5 bounty for logo concept. I wanted to offer it to someone here first before i went to fiverr.com

Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428202.0

lol! Forgive me, I'm the last one to laugh as I'm not creative at all, but I just found this amusing! Maybe I don't quite get the butter part? But even so, I don't think this will make the cut. It's cute tho :P

Anyways, driving home yesterday I had a couple of ideas spring into my head for a name/slogan combo. The name has already been chosen but maybe you guys can play with these to help with a slogan?

Bitcoin ATACCS (pronounced addicts)
Appreciate The Art of Crypo Currency Synergy

Slogan could be something like:
The Bitcoin Society - All Bitcoin ATACCS Welcomed!
The Bitcoin Society - The Home of Bitcoin ATACCS 

Bitcoin ATLS (pronounced atlas)
Admire? The Level of Synergy

Hell, IDK... not creative but maybe it could be useful to spring some more ideas.

Bitcoin Word /The Bitcoin Word

This is not a good idea, the original artwork was by a famous graffiti artist banksy (I have met him/ helped him before) Banksy is quite famous and artworks have sold for millions. this might anger people that we are using another artists design (with slight modifications) personaly not a great way to create a good image

I've though exactly this :D

No, im saying liquid nitrogen "bit" (gaffiti term) banksys artwork, the actual work can be found on google search "wall and piece" I liquid for the choice in artwork but it may agrivate a demograph that bitcoin can directed to, recomendation: make a stencil work like a banksy and add bitcoin to it.

I assure you I am not banksy, there are other images similar to this one but this one is most recognizable and really was just proof of concept. Considering that he alters brand logo's and other trademarked/copyrighted images and incorporates him into his work, i doubt he would be upset unless he is a hypocrite...

I can't seem to get "the United Corporation of Bitcoin" out of my head. It doesn't even make sense a non-profit name.

Its not him tht would be upset, its fans, artists, ect

thanks for the info , i googled his work on images lol some realy cool stuff...   

Besides the name you need a logo.. use Hatchwise.com for that.

then you will need a website and need that website to rank high in search engines. That is something I can help you with. I have designed websites for years and worked on the SEO to get them top ranking .

PM me and we can get on IM or skype to chat about it more.

Super Happy Fun Time Bitcoin Friends

For sure OnlyBTC, We just got our state paperwork back to make it official so The Bitcoin Society is now semi-born, started work on the website, but have spent more time on plugging holes in PHP and Drupal than getting the layout and display structure set up. Should hopefully have the site ready to launch by March.

Wasnt able to get doyoubitcoin.com as i bought up as many varients of The bitcoin society . everything as i could find, and just shelled out a few thousand on someone to help me plug as many security holes as we can find (PHP already sucks for vulnerabilities, and Drupal makes it worse) But using them and plugging holes will be faster than coding our own CMS and site from scratch.

Thanks again for your help with the naming adventure, the minute i saw it i knew that had to be it. Maybe when it comes time to start working on billboards and TV commercials and stuff i can hire you for your brain on some freelance creativity ideas.

Dude's name, Only BTC, would have been a great name for the bitcoin society!
