Title: Bitcoin censorship Post by: joeykrug on May 23, 2011, 03:41:06 AM Have you noticed the word bitcoins being censored anywhere? On xbox I decided to make my motto bitcoins. However it said that is not allowed. Neither coin nor bit is censored but bit coins bit-coins bitcoins and bitcoin are.

Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: joeykrug on May 23, 2011, 04:10:00 AM Dang I tried that even with a bunch of random stuff between and after and with numbers as letters. Well, if they're (a big corp like MS) afraid enough to censor it, then people are definitely noticing us!
Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: error on May 23, 2011, 04:11:29 AM Just to be fair, see if 'dollar' is also censored.

Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: Malte on May 23, 2011, 05:44:01 AM Could you check for "lindendollars" or something like that? Maybe they just want to prevent to advertise exchange offers for "virtual" currencies, acting like PayPal.
Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: jarly on May 23, 2011, 06:07:28 AM I'm fairly sure it's just because bitcoin has the letters bitc, most of the word 'bitch'. Just a silly measure to prevent people having even sillier mottos, I guess.
Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: wumpus on May 23, 2011, 06:09:00 AM Maybe the word bit is too much like bitch ???
Edit: Lol same idea at the same time jarly. Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: SoreGums on May 23, 2011, 06:15:27 AM yeah, can't put bitcoin in your motto - allowed in the profile textarea though
Title: Re: Bitcoin censorship Post by: FreeMoney on May 23, 2011, 06:21:15 AM Maybe the word bit is too much like bitch ??? Edit: Lol same idea at the same time jarly. I doubt it. Why the prohibition on bitXXXXcoin in that case? Easy enough to check. Try "bitc".
