Have you noticed the word bitcoins being censored anywhere?  On xbox I decided to make my motto bitcoins.  However it said that is not allowed. Neither coin nor bit is censored but bit coins bit-coins bitcoins and bitcoin are.

Dang I tried that even with a bunch of random stuff between and after and with numbers as letters.  Well, if they're (a big corp like MS) afraid enough to censor it, then people are definitely noticing us!

Could you check for "lindendollars" or something like that? Maybe they just want to prevent to advertise exchange offers for "virtual" currencies, acting like PayPal.

I'm fairly sure it's just because bitcoin has the letters bitc, most of the word 'bitch'. Just a silly measure to prevent people having even sillier mottos, I guess.

Maybe the word bit is too much like bitch  Huh

Edit: Lol same idea at the same time jarly.

I doubt it. Why the prohibition on bitXXXXcoin in that case? Easy enough to check. Try "bitc".

There are many words that start with the letters shi...

There are few words that start with the letters bitc... (that are not bitch!)

Is "bitch" actually banned?
