Bitcoin Forum

It was decided that we will keep the name Boolberry.

We are going to split the bounty among all that entered. If you posted a name in this thread, please PM your address to me.






LONG STORY:
I am assisting crypto_zoidberg (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=170073) with finding the final name for Boolberry (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.0). crypto_zoidberg picked Honeypenny before testing because the coin needed a name. Many people thought Honeypenney was a bad name so a rename contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588905.0) was started. crypto_zoidberg was so busy working on the code, the renaming contest died off. He then picked a name he thought was OK, so we have Boolberry.

Boolberry was disliked by most (myself included). Crypto_zoidberg wants a name that works for all and I am helping by organizing the process. I will present a few of the earlier names I like, some phrasing etc, but the final decision is crypto_zoidberg's.


TL;DR:
Most people dislike the new name so we are doing this before we get on an exchange.


RULES
1. Unique - No businesses use this name.
2. Domain name is available (at least .org)
3. Does not end with coin
4. crypto_zoidberg makes final decision

Here are a few of the submissions from the first contest that are good:

You asked names with "coin" to be excluded but you yourself proposed 2 names with "pennies". Other people proposed names with "note". Are you trying to make a new standart for this cryptonote technology? If so, shouldn't we first choose the standart before the name? Like coins/pennies/cents/$/bits/bytes ?

If not, keeping the coin thing looks nice to me. That's why I proposed Shadowcoin or Nightcoin in the first place. You can also choose a name without any suffix, but that's gonna be more personal and complicated. Then I think you'd be the only one able to do it. Btw, maybe Shadowcoin already exists, but there are also 2 Bytecoins or 2 Pandas right?

You also must be more clear if you want to promote this as a coin or as a project? the name should depend on it. Your site, which looks very pro, seems to promote your technology rather than your coin.

Despite beeing the first to use cryptonote, bytecoin chose the parallel with bitcoin. Maybe you could choose a parallel with another popular coin : dogecoin !
Like DarkShibes ? Doge has tons of coins, only POW and the community is very generous (crowdfunding?). Turn it dark and what do you have? Maybe your coin, but you will definitly have to promote it more like a real one! That's what all these donations are all about, right?

I think that we need a big name for such an innovative cryptocurrency.

+ No *Coin because it reminds me of Bitcoin clones
+ Bit* because of the same reason
+ No Byte* because it reminds people of 2 ByteCoin which is not a good idea
+ No *Penny because it implies something small
+ No Night or Dark or Shadow because this currency can be used in daily lives, not just in shady transactions
+ No Net* because we already have 2 NetCoin

The beauty of the underlying technology is

+ privacy (better than Bitcoin). It brings people more freedom
+ fair launch is about liberty too. No one is forced to do bad things. That's why every people in the world is seeking for freedom. Freedom means better life
+ long term development? I think this coin is built to last. It is a visionary cryptocurrency. Should we take a look at Statue of Liberty in the US. It was designed a French. France is a kingdom of liberty. Vladimir Nabokov published his masterpiece Lolita there. Without France, our people will never ever have a chance to read this masterpiece. People who believes in liberty in France also brings us an extremely controversial masterpiece at that time. I believe freedom will bring us a better life, better world which Statue of Liberty conveys in the physical world. Should this coin convey the same message in this cyberworld?

I suggest that this coin should imply the beauty of liberty and freedom. I like something with "Note" because it reminds people of bank note or cash. That's why I suggest

Tritium

Tritium (/ˈtrɪtiəm/ or /ˈtrɪʃiəm/; symbol T or 3H, also known as hydrogen-3) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. The nucleus of tritium (sometimes called a triton) contains one proton and two neutrons, whereas the nucleus of protium (by far the most abundant hydrogen isotope) contains one proton and no neutrons. Naturally occurring tritium is extremely rare on Earth, where trace amounts are formed by the interaction of the atmosphere with cosmic rays. The name of this isotope is formed from the Greek word "tritos" meaning "third".

Tri represents the main three goals of the project:  Privacy, Anonymity and Unlinkability

And it just sounds damn cool

I think

2. Pretium= of value

Nameless is good as a description but not for name of co8n. Worse than honeypenny.  A lot worse. I actually don't mind honeypenny but it would not be a good name for a coin either

******************************************************************

from karkkis

I think it should be something simple and business like...credible for the masses

1. cryptoseal : CS

2. securenote : SEN

3. cryptogiro : GIRO

4. Unit : UNIT

5. cryptoberry : CBY

6. diginote :DNT

7. Transfer Note : TNT

Wynx (pronounced winks). And the .org is free.

 ;)

Nightcoin it should be. And I read all the propositions : all names without coin suck!

Unless you have a better idea (and it seems nobody has), you should definitely keep it.

HP/BBR is nothing but a coin (and it's more than enough). Don't get people confused

There are several other words to use instead of coin:

shares, notes, bits,

Here are some ideas in other languages

Spanish
poco - little, bit
pedacito - bit, tiny bit, chip

German
teil - part, portion, section, proportion, deal, bit
münze - coin, coinage, mint

French
peu - bit

Swahili
sarafu - coin

Didn't I say a "better" idea ? :)

After a few days, I got used to HP and now I'm used to BBR. I don't know if we should change again. It seems we can't find 2 persons or more to agree on a same name....

This names will be successful:

1) NIGHTLOCK NTL ( Anonymity and security feature )

2) BITONE B1 (First security bit)

3) FLXCHAIN  FLC

4) GUIDO GF (Guido Fawkes 13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606)

i would choose

AnonimoNote [ANN]

or only

Anonimo (but a lot of domains are not free with only Anonimo)

anonimo means anonymous in the language of portugese, spain and italia also english people knew what its mean.
and note, its sound better than bit and stand for privacy and freedom

Lot's of good ones. Keep them coming!!

My suggestions are:

DarkNote or GrayNote to suggest anonymity.
Paradox
SmokeRing
ShadowLink
Enigma

Throwing around a couple ideas...

Incognito
PseudoCash
CashMask
ConcealCoin
NeoEuro
AntiFiat
Innominate

CryptoCurrency
CryptoCoin

May be just Crypto? Like euro, amero etc.
Digi, digito, digimoney

Common English words are not good because we cannot get the domain name.

The suffix -ring is a good idea.

I'm adding 25 BBR to the bounty. Hopefully we find a great name.  :)

I will just make three beautiful proposals:

Aura [AURA]

Nube [NUBE]

Bruma [BRU]

i think something like that is helpful - I would not recommend calling it notes/bytes etc. - give it a unique name, I think moneros success is also given to its wonderful name

I propose the name Nycto (NCT). The domain www.nycto.co is available. Visit http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/nycto-

I like DarkNote

Honestly I didn't really see what was wrong with honeypenny or boolberry.  Sounds like an Android OS or something.

The first time I saw "boolberry" I thought "wow, that name sounds pretty amateur."  One reason I bought so much is because I think it's likely undervalued because people hear the name and are turned off. I was turned on by the tech and when I saw the name was changing, I felt a lot more confident about the coin.

I hear you, but actually I found it refreshing to not have the standard "nouncoin" being used.  Sounds like it wasn't named by some edgy teenager for a change.

LibreNote ?

Thank you!

Friends, thank you for trying to help us!

I read this thread every day, and hope we will find good name.

I just want to remind you that name have to be unique, this means that when you google it you will not get a lot of results, just as example:
Aura -    81 000000 results
Nube -   21 000000 results
Bruma - 28 000000 results

Please, keep it in the mind.

May be we can move focus from anonymity and from coins to something neutral, something pretty far from currency. Uncommon flower may be (isn't it nice to send each other flowers instead of coins ? :) )

As for me - the best currency name after bitcoin is ripple. I think it well done.

Peace!
 :)

LibertyNote

DarkNote is a very bad name actually. DarkCoin is already a bad name. 2 reasons:

+ Confused with DarkCoin. Make no distinction between 2 brands
+ Dark- makes a bad impression about the nature of the coin, making it bad in the eye of regulators and people in the clearnet.

I got some more

Nuval
Nubit
Nusal
Bitjule

My suggestions (playing with "note"):
- Notta
- Notino -  inspired by Monero, notino.org is not taken

Has somebody mentioned Dingleberry yet?

Could always mention BoolPenny and HoneyBerry too :D

eNote(s)
Liberico (liberty in esperanto)
Libero

I like Libero quite a lot actually but it seems the websites are taken.

Otherwise, what are the dev countries from ? you could try to use the root of the name of liberty for the coin.

for instance, the liber latin comes from the root "lifer"

so we could think something like:

"Lifero"
"eLifer"

I'm sure you could come up with nice name using the root of the name liberty from your own country.

agree

Zeronote ZEN

LibertyNote is too confusable with LibertyCoin in my opinion.. :/

Zoidberg, I submit that you make the executive decision to stick with BoolBerry, it sounds just fine as it is IMHO.

Yeah this too. Although I made another suggestion here, I'm actually one of the people that likes the name as it is too.

call it Anusring [ANUS]

...

  ::)

This is a beautiful name!

How about Bumbleberry [BBR]

1 Bumbleberry, 9 Bumbleberries
0.01 BBR = Bumble
0.0000000..2 BBR = Berries
and so forth

bumbleberries.org is still available.

bumble = bad...


Definition of BUMBLE

intransitive verb
1
:  blunder; specifically :  to speak ineptly in a stuttering and faltering manner

Ripple is great, so is splash. but these terms are very broad. ripple had deep pockets already to buy-out domain and handle marketing.

here is my idea

https://i.imgur.com/8QxjpZE.png

Neutral, short (2 syllables) unique- reflects cash properties as well reference to underlying algo.

Google: About 20 results

This one is interesting. It includes Keccak which is in the algorithm.

People will probably say it incorrectly, but either pronunciation works.

Oh yeah? How about you tell that Smileena from the Bumbleberry Bakery in Springdale, Utah!??

http://i61.tinypic.com/140hk4i.jpg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vZzZWxg4PY)

Thanks, I pre-registered following domains to prevent squatting, can transfer to developer in case it is considered.

LOL. I'm very sorry Smileena, your pies look just wonderful. But Bumbleberry....that's a thing? I mean, I've heard of Raspberry Pi, but Bumbleberry pie?

This seems like a pretty good name, I like that it uses the algorithm. It's also unique, and we've already got the domains.

Lol, yeahhh... Bumbleberry pie ::) Id like to try one. You could flush it down with a Bumbleberry Honey Beer:

http://i62.tinypic.com/t8wyyp.jpg
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdnsR0SBxjU)

It's a good idea, but Keccak isn't pronounced that way. This would be pretty embarrassing.

It sounds arabic or slavic.. Like Goulascz or an iranian dish.. No offense :/

I think not so embarrassing, some say gif, some say jif. Imagine majority of people would say as written, but you can say ketchash or take the first part 'ke' then 'cash' by removing c.

how about kash or qash

Good i think, just that the domains are already in use, so you will have to make bid to current owner.

i dont understand that part.
for example, could the domain not be
kash-cryptocurrency.com
kash-currency.com
or .org for that matter.

thanks

RADIUS

and radius.org seems to be available.

Nice name but..

why do you not want it indexed. by you i mean zoid and everyone else. or better put, why does one not want it indexed.

how about
qkash. q's for short

well, i mean if you really want a name that suits an innovative cryptocurrency and gives only a handful results on google.. what options do you have?

Maybe RAYDIUS ?

Has an edge, turns up about 9.6k results and even raydius.com is still available.

Some more to bounce ideas off:

--

ECHOCOIN

AEROTRACE

BERRYLL <- My favorite.

ESPORE

KEYSEED <- Maybe too close to Gridseed?

--

I'm approaching this phonetically rather than what any of those names could mean.

If we find a name with a ring to it then we can find what makes it so appealing.

;)

btc-mike,

Can I suggest that we quickly resolve this name issue. Without a concrete name the exchanges won't touch this coin. In my opinion, Boolberry is a cool name and we should keep it. A better focus for this competition would be developing a logo etc.

molecularfir

Unless we find a name that really fits the bill, I agree we should keep "Boolberry" and symbol "BBR" and move on.

Crypto-Zoidberg will make a decision this weekend.

Ok, but before we decide pls everybody, sing the BumBlebeRry National Anthem with me! (click the pic)

http://i59.tinypic.com/9l90js.jpg
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB7BlMJogOk)

If I am lucky, my chosen name: LibertyNote will win  ;D

I hate technical-oriented names although I am a hard-core developer   >:( BoolBerry has a lot of rooms to evolve. Its name should not limit its potential. Dark- or SuperDark- are all super stupid names

I like the Berry element a lot. It's easy to remember, forms a nice picture in your head and is quite unique.

Not so sure about the Bool though.

e-note

my-note

miNotOr

notifycoin

justaNote

maybe

factum

or

unicus

Lets call it Amplified Boolbolic Extreme 60

You know, for extreme gainz

Ok, a couple of more suggestions:


Pekunio [PEK] - Ido (http://) for "money"

Like Esperanto, Ido is a deviced language for world communication and derives many words from French, Italian, Spanish, English, German, and Russian. Its main objective is to be easy to learn and use.

pekunios.com and pekunios.org are still availble.


Valoro [VAL] - Ido for "value"

valoros.org is still available.


Unajo [UNA] - Ido for "unit"

unajo.net, .com, .org and unajos.net, .com, .org are still available.


Monetala [MON] - Ido for "currency"

monetala.net, .com, .org and montealas.net, .com, .org are still available

I can't be the only one who gets the feeling the name will make or break this coin, even with the improvements.
Boolberry obviously leaves a bad first impression on people. We shouldn't rip off Monero's idea of using Esperanto or whatever. But success is obviously in names that are unique like Monero, or Ripple. Simple names.

No compound words. No homages. Think simple and catchy; something people have not heard before. Hurry.

Call it Firecoin

Orbis - ring in latin

Your not.

Boolberry left a bad taste in my mouth the first time I heard it. I thought to myself, "seriously?"

i think of the captain crunchberry guy every time i read this name

http://images.rapgenius.com/c0a1173275e2c1d1674ac84ce17a8ea1.430x571x1.jpg

Orbux

We definitely need more names that play on the ring signatures thing. It's all we're going to be hearing about pretty soon.

Dingle Ringles [DING]

My 3 favorite so far :

Rings (RNG)
Orbs (ORB)
Orbis (ORB)

I like Rings, that seems like a good name. Makes me think of Sonic the Hedgehog. It also has a lot of graphic design ideas already built into the name.  Here are the available domain names

rings.info
rings.io
rings.co
rings.zone
rings.agency
rings.education

Lets make it Orbits then, for our cultural heritage ;)

How about the good old German Elektrozaster [EZR] ?

Or just short: Zazta

Boolberry is the best name I have heard so far, including existing altcoins.

Lol Djinou94 excellent!:

;D

BoozeBerry.

Or BerryWhite.

What does Elektrozaster mean?

Where does factum come from?

word origins?

No coin or note or ring endings

Original name.

No look alike names.

This project is strong enough to be independent and name should be with the same style.

No bumbles, dingles, boobs, boobls, etc.

So when is crypto-zoidberg going to choose a winner?

Ringo

As above, please can we get a decision on the name - is it remaining Boolberry, or does Zoidberg prefer one of the other suggestions?

Give it time! When the one cometh, you shall know him by his name.

"Zaster" is coloquial for money, like "Electro dough" or "E-loot".

Hi btc-mike and Zoidberg.

You said a decision would happen over the weekend. I don't want to be pushy but am keen to know if a decision has been made yet, and if not, when will it happen?

it's quite funny if you are a native german speaker - not often used word but kind of fresh


my favourites are zazta (even though it is close to monero) and rings

zasta sound like a type of pasta that is low in carb. can cure cancer and gives you wings.

we need to make the name palatable to the largest economies of the world. this will facilitate acceptence. however if this is simply an experiement then frankly go back to honeypenny.

This better not just be an experiment; I've put real money into this.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's just making the joke that this is turning out to be a "dizaster"

They call me Master of Di Zazta!

I said during the weekend because that is what crypto-zoidberg told me. I have been pushing him, giving him my favorites and trying to get this settled.

He doesn't feel any of the names are perfect and really wants to get it right.

Zastar is good but I only know English.

I meant Zasta

Sounds like a brand of soda.

WebNotes [WN]

That's my last shot as it's simple, it's memorable, and it actually sounds like a currency (as opposed to boolberry, which sounds like a flavour of pie or a clothing brand).

When will this contest be concluded?  I'd like to see this on exchange!

How about one of the following:

moneta latin for currency, coin, coinage, mint, cly, cole
numisma latin for medal, coin, piece of money
nummus latin for cash, coin, money, piece, penny, piece of money

Numisma comes from the greek νόμισμα, but is not that easy to pronounce.

I have one suggestion:

Kerma

which means coin in Greek (κέρμα) and also means "a small piece" in ancient Greek

Edited:
There's also oβoλός, which translates to Obol (coin), which was an ancient silver coin:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obol_%28coin%29

 8)

Boolberry
It's a good name if you want to attract children believing in a candy brand

I want to add the weight of my opinion in favour of the name Boolberry - the more I hear it, the more I like it!

May Orbol? Orb+Orbol

Orbex. I can't get it off my mind, it just sounds too right. Boristhespider deserves credit, I think know this can work.

edit: Shame it feels so right I keep forgetting about needing the .org free. Oh well.

Obol - A coin form ancient Greece

moneta latin for currency, coin, coinage, mint, cly, cole

Combined, create Monobol

There's also Obolus or Obolos (same thing as Obol) and Obelisk (a small obol) if you're interested :)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I like the name Boolberry.  Also people know about Boolberry now and we will have to start afresh getting the info out.

Egina Aureus

Egina: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egina It was a grecee coin in the greece antique. Egina means turtle
Aureus: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81ureo_(moneda) It was a unit mesurable of aureus in Rome antique.

Futhermore Aureus is the perfect number  http://mic.sgmjournals.org/content/149/3/785.full And for that unique and valuable coin the people will look future.
TO FINALLY, As a turtle this currency grows slowly and steadily to becoming a live hundreds of years


Another name maybe can be "AureusNote"
No explanation need

Berry for short is awesome, I don't understand why we needed to change it.

There is already a Berry coin
But yes Berry sounds good

                 ❍✍☑






I dont know what it's called but we should make this our official symbol.

HoneyBerry  ;D

Boolberry? Boolberry?!?! "That'll be 14 boolberries please." 

Come on! The whole reason this thread was started was due to the backlash to that name, and there's good reason for it because it's a truly terrible name. 

Someone made the point earlier that the name is not so important because even if it starts off as an empty set of syllables it acquires meaning. 

But Boolberry is beyond redemption. Bin it. I don't care about winning BBRs, just don't stick with this mumbledump of a name.

Dark coin = Drugs 
Boolberry = Pedophile

What's more awkward, keeping the name Boolberry or continuing this contest without having promoted it enough? Obviously the dev wants more names.

edit: Berry is still a bit awkward, I was overzealous calling it "awesome", don't get me wrong. Pretend that was actually sarcasm for all I care. I just want this over with.

See my username.

I think we should keep with the Honeypenny idea. Honey is a "sweet substance produced by bees", and the latin word for honey is indeed mella.

From https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081106172156AAApZQB : "There is a somewhat rare Latin word, mella,-ae, which appears in Plautus' play the Pseudolus, and at least one other author, meaning a mixture of water and honey, sometimes referred to as 'hydromel.'"

With regard to how sweet CryptoNote is, miners are worker bees!

Moneta sounds good but its too much about money. Same thing as Plutus (the greek god of wealth); perhaps the name should be something more

Plus it sounds a lot like Monero.

Let's not forget Monetas (http://monetas.net/) is an already existing product in the crypto-currency realm. It's essentially a commercial implementation of the long established Open-Transactions (http://opentransactions.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) project. Having Moneta the CryptoNote based coin side to side with Monetas the Open-transactions 'coin' will create a fair bit of confusion.

Please developer, choose a name or make it clear you wish to keep the honeypenny or bulberry pimpernackel etc which everyone will just have to accept (I think most have just gotten used to it by now anyway) so the project can advance towards exchange listing.

I'm not sure how after all this time they haven't just come up with their own...

Red Ring [R E D]

simple and easy.

icash
inote

aNotes (anonymous notes) - A-Notes - AAA

add something to the domain if not free like inoteCN.org or theanotes.org or anotesAAA.org

I expect Google went through similar discussions- It didn't hurt them.

Boolberry is fine, it's friendly, memorable and the arrangement of the letters would be a logo creators delight - it doesn't need to mean anything. It's also an obvious spelling and has no search engine competition. Some companies have paid millions to come up with something like this.

Some of the suggestions here have been truly terrible, it makes me wonder if Will Self is posting? It just seems to be an opportunity for amateur  linguists to show off a little with the resulting names being patronising, unpronounceable or just arrogant - sometimes all three! We want people to like the coin, don't we?

Boolberry is cool(berry), just leave it alone.

As in....... sphincter?  ???

You reckon?

This is appalling, three professors in Oxford are going to understand it, no one else.

Thank you for teaching me a new word, you goddamn****** made me look at undescribable pictures on google saftey search off!

Lol, sorry......  ;D

Just decide for christ stake. Keep it or change it. But decide !

And hire someone to market your coin, you are doing a horrible job.

This. Can we just put it to a vote?

Or at least use a vote to help make the final decision?

Yah, we're going to lose the support we have if we aren't on an exchange soon, this is getting ridiculous. 

crypto_zoidberg, we NEED to get a name figured out. If you aren't able to choose one, you should ask for help from the community--get someone who is interested in marketing involved.

What about Vortex?

Except Boo sounds a lot like Poo and nobody in the world knows what a Bool operation is.

Dunno if its already taken...

WebCash

or

WebCredit(s)

Kecktes [KCT] .com .org  :)

Bit sounds like shit and barely anybody in the world knows what a bitcoin is.

This could go on forever........ ::)

Edit:

Has an actual poll been taken to show that "Most people dislike the new name....."?

Intengo - price in Swahili

Do we just assume that this project is dead now?

Seriously. Get a name, get on an exchange, or just stop wasting peoples time.

It would be terrible to think this whole thing is just a massive time sink hole. But I'm getting the feeling it's time to cut and run.

CZ. You've only got me for 24 more hours.

At this point we should just call this coin Animosity. It is getting very crazy.

I'd call this coin Zoidberg (or ZOID to prevent copyright issues). In honour of the man that means well but isn't an ace at marketing.

How about we call it "van Saberhagens" [SAB], in honor of our own "Satoshi": Nicolas van Saberhagen, the anonymous author of the CryptoNote whitepaper (https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CEQQFjAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcryptonote.org%2Fwhitepaper.pdf&ei=0z-JU770J47TPMSigZgB&usg=AFQjCNFEe1JZGugRGKgMWhRru0okKAYUSw&bvm=bv.67720277,d.ZWU&cad=rja)(s).

Just to let you guys know, a few of us at VTC are into BBR too, and have been helping Zoidberg choose a new name, including our professional branding guy who has decades of experience in naming and promoting brands. Zoidberg feels bad that he's agonised over the name for so long, but he wanted to get something that he felt was appropriate. He's conscious of the time dragging on, and is definitely going to announce a new name today.

Yes. And I apologize for that. Crazy day for me. But no excuse.

Very happy with this news. Excellent name. Great work.

Ok i dont know which pro suggested Arplex, but clearly I dont approve.

I think that boolberry may be better that Arplex.

I had proposed you from the start to offer a significant bounty so that a pro would invest some time and come up with a strong Brand name.

Anyway I wish that everything goes well and I will continue to support.

"Arplex" sucks, not friendly at all. It sounds like a type of plastic.

What is the plural? Arpli? Arplexes? Now it's getting cumbersome.

You should have known this because Vertcoin is also a crap name - the "pro" naming guy is just a guy - I hope you didn't pay him.

Oh well, that was a long wait for a step backwards.

I think that Vert "pro" tricked him.

Pls, lets at least have a public vote with all the suggestions including Arplex and Boolberry and we will find out what the best name is!

Sorry.

No harm done. More chance to consider some monosyllabic names. Believe it or not I was gonna suggest "Splex" last night which is freakishly close to what you decided. The domain was taken though.

I thought your guy was a "pro"? Didn't he check this?  ::)

Please, please, please just leave it as Boolberry - people are starting to laugh.......

Quite a lot of "moderation" happening on the other thread too.......  ???

It was my fault. They wasn't behind this name.

"Even the best name may not seem terrific the first time you hear it. As your name evolves into a brand, it will acquire more and richer associations. Give the names you’re considering a chance to grow on you--and try to imagine what they might stand for five or 10 years down the road.

Example: Google

Originally a variant of googol, the numeral one followed by 100 zeros, Google has come to represent a playful and innovative culture that delivers everything from email to operating systems. "



"Great names grab your attention by breaking the rules--but a name that defies your expectations may also appear scary. Look past the fear and you’ll find  energy and possibility. That buzz of surprise could be telling you that you’ve found a name that stands out.

Example: BlackBerry

ProMail, an early name candidate for what we know today as the BlackBerry, probably would have been an easier sell in RIM’s executive suite. But once users got their hands on the perfectly sized device, it became obvious which name was the perfect fit."

Splex is in use.

Thanks you!

Ok, I have a marketing background, so in practice a marketing team tasked with finding a name for a new product follows these steps more or less in this order:

- Getting to know all about the product (physical properties, purpose, use cases, vision, corporate environment (in our case concerning the dev(s) and others working on the code as well as how management decisions are proposed and made))
- Researching the competition (what competitors are on the market, what do they propose, how are they positioned?)
- Researching and determining the target group of customers (what sub-segment of the total audience shall this product appeal to? What do they want from a product like ours?)
- Developing a "unique selling proposition" (what can this product do that others cant and customers want?)
- Brainstorming (without the boss present the team pours all the good ideas out that have emerged during the research phase, regardless how rediculous they sound)
- SWOT analysis (product inherent Strength and Weaknesses and xternal Opportunities and Threats displayed on a 4 fielded matrix)
- Sifting through the results from brainstorming and SWOT and narrowing things down to 2 or 3 candidates based on feasibility and vision for them.
- Preliminary testing on test subjects randomly selected from the designated target group (by standardized questionaire or individual interview or even in experimental set ups)
- Refining of results with 2 or 3 propositions for client or starting process all over if it turns out test subjects dont respond well to the candidates.
- Pitch to client


I think we can do some of these steps in order to find the right name, at least we should determine what the vision for this "product" is, what its unique selling proposition proposes, who our target audience is and what they want (may sound silly but after you have put it down in consensus things are much clearer). A little competition research cant hurt either, maybe summarized in a neat chart. Then we can do the fun brainstorming part and refine results to settle on some candidates for polling to determin the best possible name!

Any questions?

yea I like this... maybe that can be a new coin that we merge mine with Boolberry :)

 ;D

On the bright side, we just made hundreds of future clonecoins' jobs easier.  ;D

:)

So...

We have a name. I can see that CZ has been working on the code to allow exchanges to pick up the coin. What's the ETA on BBR trading on an exchange? Which exchange will be first?

how can we have the bountie tou participate to this contest? we pm you our adress?

The bounty is closed. The name "Boolberry" was kept.

The bounty is going to be split equally among all participants.
