Perhaps with a clarification to the average consumer: ION: Self-banking made easy

Ah yes I had forgotten that was one of the reason I had stated I liked it, "i-on" or "i-own", meaning for "i' control the switch. I think that point was in my other thread (or maybe it was a private Bitmessage). My memory of the past weeks and months is a fog.

I added i-on as a name choice to the poll. It could be considered an alternative spelling for 'ion'. I registered i-on.me ($9) and i-on.space ($2).

My thinking is that 'ion' means nothing to your average person. My gf had no clue what an 'ion' is. She said she knows 'iron'. When I explained it can be associated with electric discharge such as when you get a spark from your finger to a metal object, then she understood but still it didn't really carry much meaning for her that would cause her to associate 'ion' with anything to do with money or payments.

I asked what 'i-on' means and she said, "I on it". So I said, "you mean like you can turn on that light switch" and she said "yeah". So I asked her does that mean she is in control, and she nodded her head. I asked if she would prefer 'i-own' and she said no. I guess it doesn't sound as nice. And if you control something, then you effectively own it.

Also in decentralized money we are trying to convey the concept that the control is at the ends of the network the End-to-end principle.

I am not sure if this is the best possible name we could think of. I may prefer i-on to ion (I-on to Ion). Make your thoughts known in the poll please. If you want to change your vote and can't then please post in the thread, so we can tabulate your change.

I continue to brainstorm for a better name.

Seriously what is the best name in crypto? Bitcoin? Nah we just got used to it.
