Title: Which of the following is the best name/brand for a Bitcoin card?
Post by: DeathAndTaxes on January 10, 2012, 06:42:11 PM
I am looking in the coming month to launch product that would be an alternative to BitBills (defunct ?).

I could use some feedback in securing a good name/brand/domain.  The product would be a Bitcoin stored value card w/ protected private key for offline usage.  It would also provide a convenient way to purchase Bitcoins by credit card albeit with the requirement for physical delivery. 

A good brand, good name and good domain should all compliment each other.  I am looking for a name which embodies the intent/purpose of the product.  Potential names are limited by availability of domains.  Since this would be primarily an online business a high quality (easy to remember, easy to type, common TLD, etc) domain is essential.

The following domains are only available hyphenated (which I dislike for obvious reasons):
crypto-cards
bit-codes
bit-card
bit-notes

I am really leaning towards Coinpaks or Coin Codes.

P.S. Don't waste time trying to hijack the domains I already registered them. :)

If you have an alternative idea post it in the thread or PM privately.  I will pay 5 BTC for an alternate idea I use. 

I am interested in any constructive feedback.

I like coinpaks myself.  Simple name, simple domain, kind of get a free ride off the moneypak name... it's good all around.

I voted for bit card,  but I must say that coinpak piggybacking on moneypak may have more/easier legs.

At first read, this may come across as corny. But I'm suggesting it nonetheless--FRED, or any other real person's name. Personalize it! Years ago, I remember a spot on the radio advertising Bob's Bank. I don't recall if it was a real bank or not, but it stuck with me through all these years. And you don't have to call it the FRED Card--simply Fred. Or Herb (maybe not herb  ;)). Or FRANK.

Teller: You paying with cash, credit or Nick?
Purchaser: Nick.
Teller: (2 seconds later without even presenting the card that's still in his pocket, wallet or purse) Thank you for your purchase. Have a great day, John.
Purchaser: You're welcome, bud. You, too.

Standard credit card size.  Full color image on front, QR codes and hologram protected private key on the back.

Hey - I own TheBitcoinCard.com and "The Bitcoin Card" is a great brand name for what you're doing.

I'll sell it for 5 btc if interested.

I may not use it but if I decide to go w/ bit-card I may purchase it "defensively".  I will let you know by PM.
