...I've been trying to capture in the name several concepts in descending order of importance:
| 1. | Group agreement and coherence, i.e. consensus which is the entire point. |
| 2. | Community synergy, group or network effects as the backing of value and purpose. |
| 3. | Instantaneous. |
| 4. | Technophile technological appeal. |
| 5. | Intangible value. |
| 6. | Permission-less, autonomous control. |
| 7. | Value that is not too abstract to appreciate. Preferably not alien to technophobes. |
| 8. | Fungible value. |
| 9. | Locomotion store-of-value. |
For what it's worth, I should mention that I spent three years writing a novel with a working title I was convinced on using all along, only for (IMO) the "right" one to pop into my head after I'd finished proofing.
I reckon you will probably vacillate on name choice for the coin all the way up to release, so maybe just go with anything for now as a working name?
Myself, I voted for Sync. It fits with the first two requirements in the list above, is short, and implies precision - which kind of fits with the block chain as you say below:
...I think Sync is going to grow on you all over time. The block chain should always be in sync and not only every 10 minutes such as in Bitcoin. The programmable block chain should always be in sync without needing every mining node to verify every script (that was the key scaling design flaw of Ethereum).
Maybe smaller denominations could utilize some of the other ideas for names, such as ions, nutrinos, (bosons?!) which I liked. And as someone said upthread, we're just used to using the name Bitcoin; it's not very original, so would prefer nothing containing "coin" of "bit", and the "cyber" ones all seem a bit passé. "Clicklet" I originally misread as "Chicklit". And I had to laugh at "Privy"! Non-word letters could work; it never did DVD, VHS any harm.
BTW, for any future anonymous coins, I thought maybe "Veil" as an idea for one?
