Augustus, we have a problem!

[Phinnaeus Gage]

I'm glad I saw this issue brought up in another thread because I currently have Martin working a new design, therefore I would appreciate clarification on this concern before I give him the go ahead and continue tooling.

Heh... I'm trying to delve into the recesses of my mind to find the drawer where I keep my high school Latin. And yet, part of me thinks that for a group that doesn't seem to know the difference between "except" and "accept", or between "affect" and "effect", this thread might just be a tad precious, no?

Good point and, I for one, would accept any advise you offer.

I would have probably gone with "in numeris vires"... but again, Latin was a long time ago for me. I'm sure there are other classically-inclined bitcoin enthusiasts on this board.

Hahah you did that on purpose didn't you?

Spiccioli, magnus distinctus.

let's ask bid bad G

and

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Vis+in+Numeris

hmm... not clean cut... but Vires in Numeris it is IMO (I wish I had Latin class in High School or Uni).

Vladimir,

as I said in the other thread, big bad G doesn't know Latin

spiccioli.

[amincd]

Vis in Numeris

The guy who said the correct expression is 'Vis in Numeris' sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I take claim of anonymous guy on the forum over the collective wisdom of the internet.

Piper67,

if it is as you say then such a group should not use Latin

spiccioli.

I agree... in the true decentralised nature of bitcoin, I think we should come up with the same phrase in Esperanto!

Let's not exclude a coin with an Ebonics phrase, if we go that route. FlashMobCoin anyone?

How about something more modern, and designed with the idea of better human-computer communication - Lojban!

Or we can make it truly universal and put a representation of an atom of hydrogen... like the Voyager probes

And we should also change the name of this thread to:

Augustus, aenigma habemus

And we should also change the name of this thread to:

BRB! I'm going to look that up.

OK! I'm back. Shouldn't it be: Augustus, habemus ænigma! ?

I wouldn't trust Google when it comes to language. Have you ever tried Google Translate? 

[KeyserSoze]

NOt sure what phrase you're looking for... Are you looking for "truth in numbers" or some other phrase? Something like "in numerus veritas" but you should really ask someone who knows for sure because it can get really sticky with the endings. There is the popular "truth in wine" example that might mean it should be "numero": http://latinquotes.net/truth/

edit: i see, you're not looking for "truth". I'd shy away from "vires" for marketing reasons. At first glance it could scare people.

[D.H.]

Hey, let's do that!

"Vires in Numeris" -> "Strength in Numbers"
"Vis in Numeris" -> "Do you want in Numbers"
"vis in numeris" -> "to do in the numbers"

Pick your choice.
