No cryptocurrency longer than 2 syllables has any chance of success whatsoever. Well unless it flows really good....
Your opinion(s) of a portmanteau of two small words (or word plus fragment) where one or both of them have 2 syllables, e.g. Ethereum? Until this post I assumed ethereum was a real word. Ethereal referring to something like ethereum. Learn something every day etc. So perhaps they succeeded? But isn't it important for the name to mean something about what the product actual is and does? What the heck does "ethereum" mean to your average bloke who is invested in Bitcoin? Ether has some very distant connection to cloud computing or intangible matter, but what does that say about decentralized money or contracts? I just don't think most people will get it. Whereas Bitcoin is at least is a coin. The Bit part is ambiguous to non-geeks, why I bite the coin or I only get a little bit of a coin? Non-geeks don't know what a digital bit is. |

Nevermind that, *I* told Satoshi to call it "Compudoughbucks" and he IGNORED ME! And NOW LOOK at what's happened because it's called "bitcoin." What a dummy!

Compudoughbucks looks a bit like Commodore. Is not too bad  |

I came within proximity of Jack Tramiel at CES 1989 (?) and met Sam Tramiel at their HQ in the valley. Seriously though I would have gone for Digithingamajig.   |

At least Satoshi had some sense of marketing and didn't listen you.
It isn't a bill either. So you don't even get your own point.

How about just calling it bitgold like the original proposal bitcoin certainly looks to be based on?

I've had several people tell me that pisses them off because it slanders what gold is. The more the issue of taint rises, the more I agree with that perspective. |

What about Dickbills and a note saying:
(it would have been called digicashbills but that's not so short).
KEEP YOUR DICKBILLS SAFE AT ALL TIMES!!!

This is great! Let's have a contest for the best name that Satoshi SHOULD have called Bitcoin!
Compudoughbucks does remind one of Commodore and that's as cool as a whole computer stuffed into a keyboard in the 80s. Colecoins (pronounced CO-LEE-COINS of course) is another alternative... Colecovision rocked...

Since we've diverged into the sexual hindbrain of the white males who dominate Bitcoin, I propose... Queefit or Bitvart |

I've had several people tell me that pisses them off because it slanders what gold is. The more the issue of taint rises, the more I agree with that perspective. Taint... It's a really bad word for what is actually a "might possibly stem from, if we average everything". It's a fundamentally misapplied term for the way the bitcoin network works. Take the simple example of a thief that steals 1 btc and makes a shared transaction with an innocent, with both of them transferring 1 btc (each) to one other output. The thief transfers 1 btc from one output to another, the innocent 1 btc from one (different) output to another. Because of the way bitcoin works, it's not possible to tell which amounts go where. However, the thief still has 100% of his ill-gotten gains and the innocent is still 100% innocent. Taint has no place in bitcoin. |
