Feeling a bit overbearing replying to every post. I should allow others to talk, but you wrote something I really want to respond to.
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?
In all my past projects, I really struggled (thrashed around) with the name same as what we've gone through in this thread, but once I settled on a name and become firm then it stuck. I can tell if I am firm by whether I find serious faults or start to feel a bit proud of the name. I prefer having a solid name when taking on a major effort (something about my creative/perfectionist personality can't put the naming to rest and it will continue eating at me until I feel satisfied).
I initially (and a bit too haphazardly given the groggy state of mind and rushing at some of the times) liked each of the prior names for a strong set of attributes (e.g. ion so terse, so geeky, so apt to micropays, so zappy) but then doubts started to creep in (ion is still a good coin name just doesn't fit the full scope of what I am contemplating). Clickz fell apart for me after initial enthusiasm because it just isn't fungible (pay me 'clicks' at the toll booth) and because none of those names were going to allow to go challenge the block chain 2.0 market as well as the micropay market. By combining "Sync" as project with "syncoin / smaller unit", I can get both the more professional name for the project, and fungible coin name when needed, and still play with the smallest unit to get a "fun" name that people can use in social networking, e.g. 'vibes', 'zings', 'oomphs', 'pluses', 'options', 'tradables', 'swaps', 'merits', or 'credits'.
Maybe smaller denominations could utilize some of the other ideas for names, such as ions, nutrinos, (bosons?!) which I liked.
So if we move away from having a social (mass market, technophobe) friendly small unit, then we can use a hitech smaller unit. But if must go hitech, I'd prefer it have at least some meaning for a technophobe, such as 'virtuals', 'mist', 'pulses', 'photons', or 'flashes'.
And I had to laugh at "Privy"!
My mother reminded me that was an outhouse back in the day.
BTW, for any future anonymous coins, I thought maybe "Veil" as an idea for one?
I like it or Mask, but also there was already Cloak. But I don't want to aim only for anonymity features because I want to build the system that I'd like to use for my future ventures on the internet in general. I still want the best anonymity in crypto though. For those coins that are currently focused on perfecting anonymity first (e.g. Monero, Boolberry), I was/am willing to help where I was needed (perhaps even ongoing on spot-time basis) and would be reasonably rewarded without having to go "all in" to their projects. I very much resist arrangements where I can't retain a lot of creative flexibility.
