I don't like the name though, and I wish it would be be changed. BitcoinDark sounds like a cheap fork of bitcoin. At least that was my own initial thought when I encountered it for the first time.
Perhaps the name should be a reference to the medium that is being transfered. I'm not a huge science fiction guy, so I don't know what that is in telepathy... energy?
So we have a currency unit that:
1) does not exist in physical form,
2) is finite,
3) is available everywhere
4) cannot be seen or tracked.
In other words... the coin has value, because multible computer memories around the world are in consensus that your lengthy piece of characters have some of it. The coin exchanges hands when it is teleported near the reciever, who then uses his telepathic skills to collect it in secret without anyone noticing. As money the coin itself represents part of the physical goods of our world, allowing the owner to transform his labor into future consumption. The owner can feel secure that the coin supply cannot be inflated, bacause of a mathemathical formula that almost no-one understands. All in all, this allows anyone to hide his wealth, avoid taxes, have a lot of sex, buy drugs and be happy.
OK, maybe I went a little too far. Anyway, the name should hint towards some of these characteristics.
I did little searching and found some Latin words that are related. Perhaps someone who is great with names and is a native english speaker (and knows some Latin) could come up with a great name.
