What do you think of the Chinese name 极特币 for DigiByte? We will be compiling this translation into our upcoming wallet update. Any feedback from native Chinese speakers would be much appreciated!

In my honest opinion: it's a nice symbol, but i like the robot more. Drawing is for kids.

We have changed it to: 极特币 After learning the name had already been chosen by the Chinese community.

It sounds quite graphical and hard for me to handwrite it :P

Yeah we are still working on learning the first character after using a whole bottle of white-out ;)

I don't have any idea why they give this name, maybe come from the pronunciation, DigiByte. gi pronounces ji, namely “极”, te pronounces te, namely "特", it is a innovative name actually.

digi refers to digital, byte means 8 bits.

According to the meaning of the word DigiByte, it can be translated to 数字节 or 数字字节, if I make a name for you, I would use 数字节 instead.

By the way, I support English-Chinese OP, whitepaper and website translation services, I have served for many great alt-coin dev teams, like Counterparty, Viacoin, Shadowcash(SDC), Crypticoin(XCR), you can check my service link for details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=759494

Pronunciation For Translation

Unfortunately after consulting native speakers... who met us with hysterical laughter... this translation is not possible. It means "big chicken dinner," or in Chinese slang, a positive reference to parts of the male genitelia. :)

大鸡吧 big dick  ;D Cool
