Title: 20 Bitcoin for a good name [CLOSED] Post by: Nefario on April 06, 2011, 05:16:21 AM We (I and a few others) will be launching our bitcoin stock market soon (next couple of weeks) where anyone will be able to trade any kind of share certificate of their own making, essentialy it will be a great way to raise money for any venture they see fit.
It will be able to trade shares(that is, shares as they are tradionaly understood, with votes and dividends etc.) Futures. Dept/loans And any other financial based contract a person can devise. Originally we have called it "The BlackMarket" but it seems most people find this too shady. What I am looking for is a clever name for: 1)Our company, we'll be doing this and another venture(reputation system) soon. 2)This stock market Entries must have available domain names for both names (or a clever domain name to suit the project/comany name) posted with the entry. Winning entry gets 20 bitcoin. Go!!!! -----EDIT------ Does not need the word bitcoin or any play of the word bitcoin, it's ok if it does, just doesn't need it.

Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: NicholasBell on April 06, 2011, 08:12:20 AM I think you should go with a name that's not so much a pun, and obvious parallels with existing services:
Bitcoin Stock Exchange (BCSE or BSE) Or something easy to remember: Bitsto.com (for 'bit stock' and currently avaliable) Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: molecular on April 06, 2011, 08:16:56 AM AlpacaStocks? ;D ;D This made me laugh, hilarious, you AlpacaStock-holding crypto-hippies.

My suggestion is to keep it professional, too. Something like BitMeister's F1nanc1al WareZ. Or more seriously, BitCoin Global Stock Exchange ("BitCoin Global" for short and for domain) Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: Nefario on April 06, 2011, 10:48:13 AM BitcoinGlobal, sounds like an evil corporation... I'm liking the sound of it.
If any of my co-investors would like to give their opinion on the names given so far (and keep them coming) please do. Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: rose on April 06, 2011, 11:55:51 AM I think a simple name which is easy to understand is the bast one,such as"THE HEAVEN OF EXCHANGING" ."BRAIN TRUST" or "HELP EACH OTHER"

Still another 10BTC remaining for the best name for the stock market, so don't stop. Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: N12 on April 06, 2011, 03:48:55 PM BitcoinGlobal, sounds like an evil corporation... I'm liking the sound of it. I agree, although I don’t like the "Global" in Global Stock Exchange. It sounds too … conventional.What about, instead: Terra/Terrestrial Earth World Human/Humanity Orbit Cosmos/Cosmic Universe/Uni Dominance Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: Vandroiy on April 06, 2011, 05:00:10 PM GlobalBitTrade (GBT)
Arguments: emphasizes the advantage of a global currency. Sounds strong and international. "Trade" is common for stock exchanges, see eTrade. The abbreviation GBT is not commonly used in a financial context. This might become the actual common word. "I bought them on GBT." One could make variations of this. I would have liked the "Global" anyways, since it emphasizes the BitCoin advantage. But if you even take it as a company name now... it could really be in the common name too. GlobalTrade is surely taken, and GlobalBitCoinTrade is a bit long, but... options. @BlitzBoom: I think it's good to sound conventional when using BitCoin. Things should feel established, move away from being too geeky. This might help to bring in conventional traders -- and that's where the real money lies. You know these people don't move their markets just 'cause someone runs in with 100,000 USD. That's the target audience you need for the long run, and to them, dealing in BitCoins might push one far enough to the "unconventional" side. Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: Nefario on April 06, 2011, 05:07:09 PM well bitrade.com and others is taken.
Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: NicholasBell on April 06, 2011, 06:26:54 PM I know I originally said you shouldn't use a pun, but what about TerraBit?
Terra - earth (showing global reach) Tera - SI prefix, as in terabyte, a large amount of digital information. Adding "Stock Exchange" to the end is an option, so the actual application is clear.

Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: guesswho on April 06, 2011, 09:07:42 PM BlockStock I definitely like this a lot! http://blockstock.com/ is currently registered but it is for sale.

Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: S3052 on April 06, 2011, 09:32:15 PM BlockStock I definitely like this a lot! http://blockstock.com/ is currently registered but it is for sale. It might take a little negotiation but it can't hurt to contact them. It fits really well to the technology behind bitcoins, while it carries the risk of being perceived as blocking something and sounding a bit negative.. For people not deep in the matter this might repell them. Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: Distribution on April 06, 2011, 10:20:01 PM Open Bit Exchange. The domain isn't taken. Also, saying you're trading on the OBE (or OBEX) sounds good. It has the same ring as AMEX or S&P.
EDIT: OBEX.com is available also. Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: sanjay on April 06, 2011, 11:03:09 PM Spreadtrust.com
I own the domain and would transfer it over for some BTC... Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: Anonymous on April 06, 2011, 11:15:54 PM AlpacaStocks has my vote :D
blockstox.com ? Title: Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name Post by: eMansipater on April 07, 2011, 09:22:22 AM Alright, I'm back for a run at the other half :)
How about emphasizing the digital aspect instead of bitcoins in particular? So, "Digital Trading Stock Exchange" or DTSE for short. The .com for dtse is taken but for sale at an unknown price. I also liked DSE with 'trading' left out, but that domain is taken. another option would be to emphasize the internet aspect of bitcoins. So, "Net Gain Stock Exchange" or NGSE. That one's a bit corny, but you could always move to emphasize the acronym as you take over the world. I also like "Internet Trading Stock Exchange" or ITSE. Including the "IT" in there makes it feel techy. Both of those domains are likely for sale. Finally, "Bitcoin Internet Trading Stock EXchange" would let you abbreviate to.....oh wait....maybe "Bitcoin Online Trading......" nope that's even worse. Maybe just stick with the first three there.
