It's "ca-SAY-shuss"... rhymes with "so spacious"... and it is a name I made up.
It may suck, but I am selling more coins faster than I can produce them, so I'm not terribly worried.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

I always read it as 'casashious'.
I just think it's a dumb name.
I like it if it's pronounced my way :/ Let's just call them Cash-Ass coins as a nod to buttcoin  |

Nah, that name just stinks. It's a shit name. Sounds like you just pulled it out if your ass. You guys have been reading the fetlife thread on SomethingAwful, haven't you? |
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

Just change the website name to something else and grab all the variations. Not enough people really know about them yet, do they?
This. I would continue to sell your existing coins but if/when you decide to go for round 2 come up with a completely different name and this time spend the $80 or so to bulk register alternate versions. Physicoin! |

I hope whoever is suggesting new names aren't the same that said it needs a new name, cause your suggestions suck, really...

is there a nickname for a unit of 25btc?

SealsWithClubs poker room has over 400 players online. Buy in from .01 to 60btc. BTCSportsMatch lets you bet sports with vig free lines! Best kept secret in bitcoin.... LocalBitcoins.com is very user-friendly now for bank transfers. You don't have to live close to trade when in the same currency area. Electrum client is awesome. Try it. And please stop sending bitcoins to sites run by security newbies, or don't complain when you lose everything.

BTC -- I'd just go with "coin"  For larger amounts -- 50 BTC = a block. |
(BFL)^2 < 0

These names for bigger chunks of bitcoin makes me think we're expecting prices to keep going down instead of up...

Well, I was just suggesting names for the Casascius coins, which already exist, and 50 BTC being a block is obvious. More suggestions then: 0.01 BTC - Ferm (screw "cent". Fermium is the 100th element in the periodic table)
- Boil (100°C is the boiling point of water)
- Bang (more bang for your buck)
0.001 BTC - m (just "m". As in, I've got three em in my pocket.)
- Bip (no reason)
- Leap (The year 1000 was a leap year. Also, cryptocurrency is a great leap forward in monetary exchange.)

I myself like Crypt and Plate. 25 BTC should be a "Jesus." As in, "Jesus, that's a lot of money." Also, it was his birthday. |

Well, I was just suggesting names for the Casascius coins, which already exist, and 50 BTC being a block is obvious. As long as it is qualified with a set point in time, I suppose it is. I think that Bitcoin might be as good an opportunity as any to get people using scientific notation. That could be shortened to something like: ' 20 neg-threes' (e.g., 20E-03, 20x10^-3) |
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.
