Fabric (the essential structure of anything, especially a society or culture.)
("the fabric of society"could you change that to the fabric of the internet)

So you could then break that down to fibres and/or threads for the social part. For example:

Can you send me some threads
No, sorry, Ive only got a few fibres left

Conceptually interesting, but I think we are getting too abstract and removed from what will be meaningful for users.

I see the marketing thrust as for example:

CodesTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free net codes for free access.

Or:
ClicksTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free click codes for free access.

Or:
ClicTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free clic(s?) for free access.

Or:
ClixTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free clix for free access.

NetBits**/Social Currency (ie, bits of gold?)

...

I could be way off here but if Bitcoin is really here to stay then I think bits will become something like the term email (just for talking sake). Might be weird for some now but eventually it would be common place to describe a few units of any cryptocurrency. Instead of having to remember term for each, people will use the easiest/quickest description (hope that makes sense).

BitsTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free netbits for free access.

Or:
Get instant free funbits for free access.

Or:
Get instant free bit codes for free access.

Or:
Get instant free bits for free access.

Or:
Get instant free bitz for free access.

Or:
Get instant free bits cash for free access.

Or:
Get instant free cool bits for free access.

Or:
Get instant free cyber bits for free access.

I (regrettably) spent $42.92 to register:

netbits.biz
netbits.cash
netbits.click
netbits.me

I spent $37.61 to register:

bitcodes.biz
bitcodes.click
bitcodes.me
bitcodes.org
bitcodes.us
bitcode.us

**Dots and dashes...could the satoshi unit be replaced by one of those?

I paid $400+ to acquire dots.com in 2014 (or was it early 2015) and then the registrar went bankrupt. I couldn't recover because I had registered anonymously.

I like it less now than I did, because it seems too abstract and lacking definitive connection to our use case for the user, e.g.:

DotsTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free dots for free access.

Bolt (perhaps prefixing other words in your thread)

...dashes...

Some of the word choices aren't great (imo of course). Zap, fun and cool spring to mind...when you tell kids something cool and fun...they usually think the opposite.

Yeah fads are serendipitous viral, grass roots (not top-down) creations and fade away.

But bolt, dash, and zap are associating with speed and also easing access to some good or service, e.g.:

DashTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free dash(es?) for free access.

Although DashTube sounds nice, 'dash' or 'dashes' (similarly as for 'dots') are too abstract and do not have any pre-existing meaning as units-of-exchange. To me, "bit codes", "click codes", "net codes", 'netbits', and 'funbits' are more readily understood as accumulated intangible items which can be exchanged. Note unlike 'codes', the word 'bits' doesn't make sense alone in this context.

Yet even with 'codes', we have the potential for confusion between "bit codes", "click codes", and "net codes" if for example there are competitors using each of the three (unless I can somehow capture all three, but note point in registering many domain names is just to have options and to make it expensive for someone to obtain a good domain for competitive names to the same concept, i.e. they could launch under *.io or *.ws, but if I own the *.net, *.biz, *.us, etc then we can capitalize in retaliation for any pure ripoff).

In trying to capture a social unit-of-value and social exchange, I had suggested 'vibe':

VibeTube - "youtube without annoying video ads"
Get instant free vibes for free access.

VibeTube sounds nice and vibes are clearly a social phenomenon, thus these are brandable over time as something accumulated and utilized in the context of social networking (implication cyberspace).

I spent $32.05 to register:

vibes.cash
vibes.click

I spent $7.76 to register the alternative concise spelling:

vibz.biz
vibz.us

The only other terms that come close to the same concept are 'aura' and 'love', neither of which seem to work as well.

Possibly moe works (which btw was my nickname when I was a child, I guess short for my last name "Moore" but it was also because of the Three Stooges). Available portmanteaus containing 'mo' and/or 'moe':

		Available Domains
bitmo	bitmoe	(bitmo.net, bitmoe.com; but bitmo.com is Bitcoin payment app)
bitsmo	bitsmoe	(bitsmo.net, bitsmoe.com, bits.moe)
clicmo	clicmoe	(clicmo.net, clicmoe.com, clic.moe)
clixmo	clixmoe	(clixmo.net, clixmoe.com, clix.moe)
clickmo	clickmoe	(clickmo.net, clickmoe.com, click.moe)
digimo	digimoe	(digimo.net, digimoe.org)
	dynamoe	(dynamoe.org, dyna.moe)
getmo	getmoe	(getmo.org, getmoe.net; For sale getmo.net $3695; Gitmo means Guantánamo terrorist prison)
mobimo	mobimoe	(mobimo.org, mobimoe.net)
moolamo	moolamoe	(moolamo.net, moolamoe.com, moola.moe)
vromo	vromoe	(vromo.net, vromoe.com, vro.moe; For sale vromo.com)
zipmo	zipmoe	(zipmo.net, zipmoe.com)

I sort of like digimo, but not given the sea of potential copycats.

I had already registered moola.click if we wanted to use moola (not moolamo), but nobody over here in Philippines knows what moola is and probably the same throughout Asia if not also Latin America.

The only other idea I have is:

netips

But you can see the problem with branding of 'net', 'code', 'click', or 'bits' are all the permutations:

bitcodes
bits
bitscoin
bitscash
bitz
bitzcash
clickbits
clickcodes
clickz
clickzcash
ebits
ecodes
funbits
funcodes
ibits
icodes
itsy-bits(y)
mobits
mybits
mycodes
netbits
netclicks
netcodes
netips

Thus it clear to me that we can't brand those names.

Appears that after all, my initial idea to use VIBES was the correct one:

I think I've solved the naming issue!

I added three new name choices to the poll and I really, really like it:

zing
vibe
love

I think zing it is perfect. I also offer the vibe and love choices

...

I started with 'love' because I was thinking what people really are sending on the internet is information about relative appreciation. Then I got to 'vibe' but it is more of a feeling. What I really wanted to capture is that money is a form of stored energy and also to capture the giving of love, vibes, and likes in social networking. So many crypto names have tried to capture crypto money as a concept of small bits of information (e.g. quark, bitcoin, quantum), but that is just how it is represented and doesn't capture what it really is.

I think I nailed it folks.

People want to store and communicate their value and energy.

...

This is in line with the shift in the Knowledge Age away from money has a monetary capital into a dynamic metric of social energy and enthusiasm. The capital that internet ventures value most are the social hive vibes, and not monetary capital. Monetary capital is dying with the death of large fixed capital investments for factories and physical economies-of-scale. The new economies-of-scale are in social energy.

Let's enter the Knowledge Age!

Edit: on further thought, maybe love or vibe are more unique and brandable, e.g. bing, fling, sling, etc. Certainly no one will make another coin that sounds like Love. It is the essence of value and why were are here on earth. I sort of like it more than zing. Love is more fundamental and will shock many people. Please pay me 5 loves. Filipinos will be all over that. A company would be hesistant to use the name Love, because it can't be trademarked. But for coin which no one owns, we don't want trademarks. Rather we just want spontaneous ubiquitous adoption. What could be more ubiquitous than love (perhaps the only thing more ubiquitous than money is love). And turning money into love. That is what the Knowledge Age is really about. It is about ending the concept of storing up monetary capital to take control over people, and instead positivity and appreciation of diversity and creativity.

(to all the jealous haters, I am an artist so just be prepared for shocking inspirations Tongue

we can work together if you don't require control and subjugation powers...it is your choice...I will travel my path regardless)

(long since forgotten after the Friendsters, Myspaces, Facebooks, Vibers).

I know a great name when I see one and I don't vacillate. I am also an artist who demands perfection and maximum creativity in what I do. This is precisely why your culture is suffocating for me and I can't work with your culture. I am an artist.

Also it is 3 syllables with a portmanteau that can be misinterpreted in many different ways, e.g. Mo-nero, Mon-ero, Mone-ro. Facebook, Viber, and I-on are only 2 (Ion might be 1?).

It is not a horrible name. It is much more brandable than any name with ___Coin or ___Bit.

But you are going to have to teach people what it means. Monero is not high tech. No way. It sounds like some cultural heritage from Europe (such as a castle) being applied to computers doesn't make any sense. It is at best associated with fiat money and old world corruption we are trying to get rid of. It will not appeal to the youth and the people who want new, cool, tech. The youth want new stuff not the crap of their grandparents. They want swiping and vibering, not tours of museums in Old Europe.
