I've decided its time to give back.
I have lurked quietly in the shadows of bitcoin for quite some time now, and i have came to realize that its about time i give something back to the bitcoin community. I have decided to use half my bitcoin ( about 3,300 coins ) to form a self funded organization with the sole purpose of helping to spread information about bitcoin to the world through mass media, local "troops" or small groups, a website, blog, billboards, magazine ad's, TV. and whatever else 3,300 bitcoins will afford me.
I AM NOT, WILL NEVER, HAVE NO INTEREST, AND WILL REFUSE ANY SORT OF DONATIONS. I have seen what happens when someone mentions taking donations in bitcoin first hand so please do not even bother asking, that is not what this thread is for.
What i do need, is someone to help me find a name for it. Seeing as the bitcoin foundation is already taken, i dont know where to go. Although i am very creative in terms of Media, graphic design, website design, and animation. I have absolutely 0 creativity when it comes to picking a name. 2 days now and i have scribbled down a page and a half of garbage names. I need any and all help i can get in picking a name so i can file the papers to incorporate.
Things i would like to see in the name;
1: The word Bitcoin, in its whole, people who dont know what bitcoin for sure do not know what a BTC is. so something like ________ Bitcoin, or Bitcoin __________ 2: something simple to remember, I.E. if i put a web address on billboards down every major highway, i want the url to be easy to remember until the driver gets home. 3: something formal sounding that implies it is a non profit bitcoin organization. 4: Something original, i want it to be unique, not a spin off of a name someone is already using.
I know that not a single one of you really has a reason to help me, but i also know that there are some amazingly creative people on this forum, so rather than make up a bunch of convincing garbage to try and plea for help, i am just going to ask as nicely as i can.........
Please if you can spare me just 2 minutes of your creative mind i would be forever truly grateful.

Guerilla marketing is probably the most effective means, vinyl stickers at urinals on mirrors under drive thru windows under the drive thru speaker bumper stickers and the great thing about bitcoin is the stickers could actually have a qr code that links you to some free satoshis so people that never considered buying bitcoin just have to pull out there phone capture the qr code and they have some bitcoin

Spread Bitcoin
SpreadBitcoin.com easy to remember until you get home.
Just sounds like one of those non-profit orgs you see promoting certain agendas on tv.
Total advertisement fodder.

THANK YOU GUYS SOOOOOOO MUCH, I cannot even think of words right now. i was so frustrated for 2 days trying to think of a name and could not even come close. this means the world to me, all very great ideas i really like where they are going.
Nitrogen i totally agree with you on the gorilla marketing idea, I have had lots of ideas on how to move forward, but lost myself in aggravation for 2 days not being able to name it. I would really like to find a hand full of great bitcoiners and marketing brains to help me best spend some of the bitcoin to get the maximum result. Maybe a small army of people armed with knowledge to start going door to door to local businesses in metro areas and talking with local business owners to get them to accept bitcoin. Info packets, maybe a intro DVD. maybe i can get coinbase to help put something together, it would be free marketing for them anyways. I just got to settle on the name. what you guys came up with in just 30 minutes is 1000% better than what i could in 2 days at this point.
Thank you all again so very much.

Should use some of that coin to get an AD on TV! I went to a school with a huge film department and know some very good producers that could make a really professional commercial.. I'm sure they would totally trade services for BTC as well ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) PM me if you want me to put you in touch or some examples of work...
