Hello Bitcointalk,

To read first - original post about the Munich Project is here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524025.40

In order to make people involved into our project from the beginning, we decided to let you choose a good coin name for our great project.

The contest is now open to anyone who have a good name in relation with what our coin & associated ecosystem will do.

You can suggest as many names as you want. You also can endorse a coin name you like; the endorsments will definitely counts with our final choice. Domain names availability will also guide our final choice.

The contest will be closed the Sunday 13th April at midnight GMT, and we will disclose the chosen name before the 15th April (in case the final choice is obvious to us).

If the final choice is difficult to make, we'll organize a poll to let you the final choice. Please give us your sentiment about the way you prefer.

After this, we will launch the contest for the logo creation.

The reward for the winner of this contest will be a investment value of 0.5 BTC in our first IPO : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=553312.0

As always, we are open to any suggestions you will have.

We are very impatient to read your ideas,

Donn

How about "TrunkCoin"? The domain name is available as I write. Other candidates I looked at, such as Hubcoin, didn't have the domains.

If you're planning to sell your coin's ecosystem to the bigwigs, "TrunkCoin" will resonate. They're old enough to remember what a phone-system "trunk line" was/is.

A more modern variant would be "BackboneCoin" or "FibreCoin". Both of those have the .com domain available too.

How about the OktoberfestCoin ?

How about AlbertEinSkein

Interesting work,
I thought long about a name for your currency and finally decided. I tried to combine both computer terminology and also "money".
Then suddenly got my idea.

DOSHCOIN
D.O.S.H
(Disk Operating System Hash)
Dosh is also a slang word for money.

Catchy, original, meaningful, clever, and cool.  8)

NibelungCoin

TNOcoin - The Number One coin
INTcoin - International coin
FreshCoin - i think the best name ; )
SingleCoin
ModernCoin

or MUNICH without coin ? I don't like ,,COIN"

you should name it the equivalent of what greeks call "pussy"

BrezelCoin
WurstCoin
BierCoin
LagerCoin
SauerCoin

 ;D

When picking the name, don't forget that it should sound appealing. Bitcoin was genius in its choice of name, as it represented its nature in a simple way. On the other hand, it wasn't cheap at the same time: The name for a currency, that is. I suggest picking a name that hints at the nature of the coin, without sounding cheap or misleading, a plain and simple choice, a name that people would actually speak out and not feel weird about, especially when they are not really involved in crypto at all and just want to use it as a matter of payment.

This is why I would suggest names such as E-Fiat, E-Money, Bitfiat, Cryptofiat or similar. You should get the idea. You don't need an ending like "-coin". You don't want a name that you have to explain in more than one sentence.

Let me suggest EvoCoin (EVO) - because I think the most defining characteristic is the "evolutive n-factor depending on the power of the network". But when explaining the meaning, I'd use 'evolving' rather than 'evolutive', which is a rather difficult word.

Edit: EVO will be easy to recognize because the abbreviation is almost the same as the name.

Your reasoning is excellent, but your examples are awful. Cryptocurrencies are not fiat money (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money) at all, 'fiat' is not a word used by the general public, and 'E-Money' sounds too much like emunie and existing fiat money services such as eMoney in Georgia.

CBC Cybercoin - by me. :)

Nice project. A light in the dark  :D
Me, I think too, there is no need to use the word coin.
For this will be something new, this claims to be one step further in evolution,  the name should clearly distinguish this new project from bitcoin and other altcoins. Do we want to be classified as the next alt-/scam-/shitcoin or do we want to be recognized as somthing new and different?

My proposal: a combination of the words "virtual" and "currency"!

VINCY - the VIrtual curreNCY

It has some kind of seriousness. It declares that this project is not a joke  - ...and: perhaps the sound of "VINCY" reminds of "victory", "veni, vidi, vici" or good old Leonardo. - I think "VINCY" transports positive images and feelings. One first step to trust in this new thing.

The smallest divisible unit ( 0,01 ) could be one Vincy-Cent.
That would bei pronounceable und sounds even quit cute to me.

Vincy, an businesslike unemotional name awakening positive emotional associations.

How about MunichCoin - doesn't that say everything you want it to say?

Sounds good to me, and i'd guess it sounds good to others.

Anyway, food for thought...

K.

What about Pfenning?

1/100 of Mark :)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2e/Pfennig_1950_Deutschland.jpg

Call it "cake". Everyone likes cake.

The cake is a lie!

K.

Cute, but not distinctive enough. Maybe it should be the Non-Standard Difficulty Adjusting Pfennig (NSDAP).

Just kidding, that would be another kind of Munich Project ;)

Tried to pick names at least semi-related to the coin's features ... not sure if any have been taken already or not. Included Darwin simply because eventually this will all be survival of the fittest (coins), anyway -- it's just a matter of time.

NWCoin or NewWorldCoin.... The currency of the New World.

Übercoin (or just Über)

because it sounds cool in English (hopefully German too).

What's the guy's name in Munichs coat of arms?

Pancoin

Pan means all in greek. Munich project learns from all the previous coins to make a better one, so it could be said that it add them all.

Cryptomnesia

I was thinking something fairly simple for the name: RadCoin.

Rad is used nowadays to describe something "radical", and the project's aims/goals/desc. is pretty radical in terms of innovation if you know what i mean.
Rad also means a bike/bicycle in german, so that has a relativity with German/Munich as well.

Other names could include:
MarkCoin (Germany's old money, kinda like PesetaCoin's main competitor)
SupraCoin. (Influenced by the shoes, could have wings on the S of the logo and it'd look cool imo)
AbsolutCoin, sounds fun to say and vodka is good :D
///M coin (although could have problems with trademarking; i love BMW)


All i can think now are these! I'd like to emphasize RadCoin though it sounds the best for this project :D

Munichcoin?

For fuck sakes guys be creative, drop the coin at the end, start with that.

Do you like any of mine?

i like that but

here in germany most people still think they/we should feel guilty about something that happened a over a half century ago and was kicked off by someone that wasnt even a german and totally out of his mind.

its not as catchy, can you shorten it ?

I can never forgive that mustache 

Let's try it with some words in latin:

coin: nummus
masterpice: opus
experience: usus

...and if we combine nummus, opus and usus
we will get:

NUPUS, NOPUS,...

or something like that.  ::)

strictly speaking: one Nopus, one Nopus-Cent

Great! - sounds like fun with currency and money...

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thanks everybody for the coin name suggestions. This contest is now finished.

We have seen many good things, and we will let you know very soon who is the winner of this contest.

Website will come very soon too.

About our initial IPO, we decided today after 3 days of discussion to close the current IPO, considering the lack of interest, probably cause of the low reward we initially chosen.

To make the things better, we decided to let you vote about the best way we should choose for our next IPO :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=569468.0

Feel free to let us know what do you think about a good form of IPO.

Anyways, the reward for the coin name contest remains unchanged.

Thanks you again,

Donn.

The Sancy Coin (Unestimated)

R ( Hindi : ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , Persian / Urdu : ? ? ? ? ? ? , Telugu : ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ) Which means " Mountain of Light " from Persian , also spelled Kohinoor , Koh - e Noor or Koh - i - Nur is 105 carats ( 21 . 6 g ) diamond that was once known as the largest diamond in the world . The Kohinoor originated at Golconda in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India . It belonged to various Sikh , Mughal and Persian rulers who fought bitterly over it at various points in history and seized as a spoil of war time and again . After completely ignoring the Maharaja Ranjit Singh 's will was finally seized by the East India Company and became part of the Crown Jewels England when the British Prime Minister declared Benjamin Disraeli Queen of Queen Victoria of India in 1877 . This is a legend that whoever owns the Koh - i - Noor will rule the world .
The possibility of a curse pertaining to ownership of the diamond dates back to a Hindu text relating to the first authenticated appearance of the diamond in 1306 :
" He who owns this diamond will own the world , but will also know all its misfortunes . " He who has this diamond will own the world , but will also know all misfortune . " Only God , or a woman , can wear it freely . "

I hope one coin names that I suggest could be considered for use

If it comes from Germany, you can call it BailOut (BO). Maybe €BO or eBO for simplicity :).

BTW long time ago we were discussing a name for a "New German crypto" -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201326.msg2102665#msg2102665 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201326.msg2102665#msg2102665)
I still would love to see something like Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungenzahlungsmittel_I/1_Ausf_A1.exe in my Task manager as eating 100% of CPU and 50% of memory. That would be so geeky :D.

Other ideas:

Just call it BMW. Easy to abbreviate, easy to remember, lot's of positive associations.
NeueMark or NewMark (NM) is pretty boring.

OK take this seriously:

Thaler "...coin used throughout Europe for almost four hundred years." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaler) This name will give a sense of traditions, stability and enduring value.

rupees

Bayerischkrone (german for Bavarian Crowns) in honor of the Archduke Maximillian, the last true Archduke of Bavaria. Or alternative you can call them Bayerischer
