If you were going to build a company who's sole mission was to teach the fools at BFL how to build and sell hardware, what would you call it?  The company's product line would consist of various configurations of bitcoin mining hardware.



I was thinking things like:
Dragonfly labs

Spiderfly labs

(because dragonflies and spiders eat monarch's).

To prove that BF Labs Inc. doesn't have a clue, shouldn't they have named their first gen miner the Monarch and not the last?

I like the Buffalo Labs one.  I can take it to a nerd level and call it "Ctheay Labs" based on a fictional creature in Patrick Rothfuss' "Name of the Wind" books.  The Ctheay eats butterflies and is an oracle that can see into the future and feeds off emotions of those who seek it.  Fellow geeks correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheesewheel Inc. Because the whole thing is just like watching a bunch of crazy people go charging down a steep hill chasing a rolling bitcoin...


Probably should put something here.... Maybe an LTC address?
