For all those up thread expressing opinion about priorities and why should I expend effort on naming now, here is a potentially $billion lesson for you.

Is it unfair that Michael Jordan earns a $100 million annually for doing nothing but smoke cigars. Or is it because he had his priorities correct and ignored the political bullshit:

Republicans buy sneakers, too,

For $36.51, I registered the following domain names:

clickchain.biz
clickchain.click
clickchain.co
clickchain.me
clickchain.net
clickchain.us

After contemplating the currency unit then for $115.98, I registered the following domain names:

clicha.in
clichain.biz
clichain.click
clichain.co
clichain.com
clichain.me
clichain.net
clichain.org
clicode.biz
clicode.click
clicode.co
clicode.me
clicode.net
clicode.us
clicode.org

After contemplating that ClickCash is already taken by an adult affiliates network and that Netcash is probably a superior name yet lacking the unification around the "clic" prefix, as an insurance policy on future decisions I decided to spend $25.06 to register:

clic.cash

After contemplating that we might want to keep our options open to use the 'net' prefix instead, I spent $20.53 to register:

netcha.in
netchain.biz
netchain.co
netchain.us

P.S. I had a relapse of my shit health and was incapacitated for the entire day on Sunday. I believe this was due to practicing basketball intensely on Sat & Sun mornings (in hot tropical sun). Exercise seems to always increase my inflammation and destabilize my condition. However, I also ate outside over the past 2 days, and my other theory is that my illness has been exacerbated by that all prepared food in the Philippines is cooked with MSG (monosodium glutamate). I know that without sufficient glutathione, then glutamate can cause inflammation. I really need to find a lab test for an anti-oxidant panel[1] in this backass country. I've been supplementing anti-oxidants and have added vitamin A as of Sunday. I got back on my coconut milk + greens + tuna diet Sunday evening and this morning. And seems I might be back to functioning today. This was the first serious relapse in past weeks, and correlates to both first time to exercise hard and also to eat outside.

Was my previous post regarding ZapChain completely irrelevent to this discussion? The concept of tipping contributors with "Bits".

ZapChain is also launching a new digital community creation tool today. Users can customize community incentives using bitcoin, meaning that micropayments can be made to those who post content, start discussions and sell products or services.

I think the name ZapChain is pretty snappy. Would it have been considered if not already used?

First let's give credit to f2000 for first raising the potential of "chain":

I was reading this thread on my mobile and misread Chan for Chain (which I love), but it seems there is already a company in the space called chain (https://chain.com/). Perhaps its where I'm from in the world, but Chan doesn't sound right (no doubt a personal thing.)

A few others to ponder over...(got more in the house will post them up tonight)

Projectname (Denominations)
Chain (Links, linx, lynx?) [Although it sounds neat, I'm not sure it adds up)

....

I assume the meaning you want to capture with Chain and Link, is that the record of the history is securely interlocked. Some other ideas are Woven, Twill. I think it doesn't add up because we want to say something unique about a block chain that Bitcoin doesn't do. I had thought of Weave for an anonymous coin, but that isn't the primary focus of my work. Besides I don't think we say 'anonymous' when we say 'cash'; rather we assume it is.

Above I was thinking about "chain" as it relates to the technicalities of a block chain, and not as its apt meaning for describing a social networking phenomenon, i.e. that the participants are chaining together for some synergy, e.g.:

If you continue to engage him in an argument, in thirty years you'll have a very productive comment chain and nothing to show for it.

As for a name incorporating "chain", the users would need to somehow relate to this name as being relevant to the activity they desire. So basically there will be some service or good the user wants to participate in and they need this "thing" to get access (or this "thing" is alternative means of access, e.g. instead of filling up an advertising captcha, etc). Thus ClickChain seems to capture the original intent I had with Clickz and is much more explicit about the social networking synergy.

So instead of naming the currency units, you name the social network phenomenon. So you want access to some service that requires micro-transactions (or puts an advertising captcha or video in your face instead) or you want to earn micro-transactions, then you need to "join the clickchain" or "get some netcodes". I am not sure which name is better. The currency denomination is 'netcodes' if we use netcodes. If we use clickchain, we'd also need a name for the currency units such as 'netcodes' (or "click codes"), "chain credits", 'clicodes', 'cliqodes', 'klicodes', 'qliqode'.

ZapChain conveys fast and perhaps some social networking chain, but fast is not the attribute of desire or need in social networking. And the 'chain' dangles there without any support, thus it isn't clear this name means a social networking chaining. Whereas, Clichain (ClickChain) is more clearly some synergistic internet chain (since 'click' has dual meanings of the action of pressing of button and synergizing socially.

I can't fathom how users will relate to ZapChain as the name of a currency. It could be a platform where users are zapping BTC for those sites which say they support ZapChain functionality, but then eventually no one needs ZapChain and they will just say "zap me some Bitcoin" (and who cares what the competing technology that is being used to accomplish it). Sounds to me that ZapChain is some attempt to brand the upcoming Lightning Networks (LN). I think Coinbase hopes to become a LN server. Appears the people who chose the name were thinking the "chain" refers to the chain of transactions that form a LN conduit between payer and payee, and the "zap" of course refers to speed. They weren't focused on the social context of the name apparently.

The necessary opcode for LN has been added to the next release of Bitcoin for early 2016:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/checklocktimeverify-or-how-a-time-lock-patch-will-boost-bitcoin-s-potential-1446658530

Appears ZapChain will offer some social networking communities and then I suppose facilitate micro-transactions denominated in BTC by using some centralized server that holds balances (or later perhaps the LN concept). The problem for their concept is similar to Voxelus, in that they are just one social networking app. They can't be an ecosystem by themselves, unless they are creating a protocol, API, and platform for other apps. So I must assume they are really hoping to become a platform business built around LN.

I foresee a disadvantage for LN because you can't just pay anyone, any time with permission-less commerce. Lightning Networks (LN) requires that participants open LN conduits on the same sub-network. Also afaics LN can't support end-to-end anonymity. LN is a corporate takeover model for Bitcoin, and so the question is will LN scale network effects as fast as a fully decentralized alternative. I am betting on "no" and thus I am proceeding with creating the fully decentralized alternative. Also I am contemplating supporting a LN technology as well, as it may have applications where it is ideally suited (but I don't think this social networking micro-TX network effects is the best suited to LN as compared to my decentralized micro-TX block chain design).

Im pretty sure Second Life Lindens and Cryptopias PED's are still in full function.

Not for much longer. Voxelus won't be the only VR app. Fungibility is important. And there is an economy-of-scale with one ecosystem in terms of building all the performance, scaling, anonymity and other features needed in a real-time, virtual currency.

Lindens aren't going anywhere anytime soon. The only people left playing Second Life are those that treat the game as their actual life.

I mean as a shrinking (relatively speaking) market towards irrelevance. Expansion of virtual currency markets will radically accelerate with network effects due to an eco-system and more degrees-of-freedom with fungibility. In other words, Lindens are beyond their half-life peak. Voxels will probably have a half-life of about 6 to 18 months.

Voxelus should be trying to make their technologies into APIs and create an ecosystem. And stay away from making a virtual currency since that isn't their area of focused expertise. Some of us have been working on crypto-currency for 3 years. They could partner with a virtual currency or better yet interopt with all virtual currencies and build an exchange into an APIs for developers.
