On the 'swipe' idea, there is already 'touch' coin (which appears to have died). On the exchange of energy concept, there is already a 'synergy' coin. There is already a 'global' coin.

I am not against 'ion', just trying to exhaust my search for a superior name before relenting.

Reflecting more on the essence of what I was attempting capture with 'zing' and 'love' is some universal concept of value that transcends monetary capital (and with zing also capturing the concept of fast). With 'zing' (or 'zeal'), 'love', and 'vibe', I potentially captured another form of value that may be more popular but I didn't capture the general essence of value. I thought of 'power', 'deed', 'merit', and 'good' but again these are not the essence of value.

The essence of value is what ever any one thinks it is, i.e. the essence of value is that it is not fungible! In theory we could have underlying general fungible, tagless/unnamed 'unit' and then it could be displayed to user with the moniker alias that represented which ever category of value the user is interested in, but that belies the fact that value is not fungible. So then what is a fungible unit if it is the antithesis of value? A fungible unit is—as Andreas explained in his recent video presentation—communication of information about relative values. Money is not a good, but rather an informational junction where society communicates dynamically about values. So this is why I suggested the name 'datum'.

My other attempt at naming the essence of this fungible unit of money other than calling it the abstract concept 'money', 'fungibles', or 'unit', I have thought of this information as being the driver or basis of relative values, thus names such as 'base', 'basis', 'pith', catalyst', 'motivation', and 'fuel' come to mind.

The essence of the block chain is not its representation (in digital, mathematical, or electronic form) but the key distinguishing trait is that (in theory) it is universal, consistent, and not relative to any place, entity, or influence. The exchange value is not absolute, so I am referring the record of information being absolute. In this context, afaics absolute is a sufficient substitution for allodial title.

Does anyone like the name 'absolute'?

Wouldn't this name have strong appeal amongst those who want unassailable, incorruptible, permissionless commerce, contracts, and system protocols?

However, that name doesn't say much about microtransactions, scalable block chain, nor even say anything particularly enticing to the masses.

Thanks for the offer of mycash. It isn't inappropriate, just not sure if it can brand and stand away from all the other ___cash and ___coin. Let's think about.
