¥ will piss off the Chinese. Why did we favor Japan over China.

Sorry, Im a bit confused, I thought the ¥ symbol was for both the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen? So not understanding why it would piss off the Chinese market and not the Japanese?

Correct, I got it confused with the Korean Won ￦, ₩. The currency symbol list I was viewing has "WON" and not the "Korean won". I thought WON was a misspelling of Remnibi.

Any way, I think we do not want to copy the Yuan and Yen currency symbol. Good way to get our coin potentially banned in China and Japan.

Yoobits is more personal, but there are too many variants, e.g. ibits, mebits, etc.. Also many people will wonder why just didn't spell "Youbits". And You bits is bit more confusing than Yourbits or mybits but then whose bits are these Huh

. They are yours when I am going to send them to you and they are mine until I do.

Yeah, that is the downfall of a made up wordit does it run the risk of being bad/confusing Englishor does it make it stand out (only time will tell I suppose)

Not all made up words can have many copycat variants. In this case, implied meaning of myself+bits has too many variants.

Bits doesn't mean anything at all to these filipinas I have spoken to.

My gf suggested "mobits" (more bits). Far too many variants of bits. It is a sea of names "[Insert shit]coin".

A brandable name is one that makes sense and doesn't have sensible variants. Bits doesn't make sense (just copying of Bitcoin's small market) and you+bits makes even less sense. my+bits makes more sense than you+bits. Youbits sounds good, but otherwise isn't a good name.

Dodats sounds good also. At least it means something to just about anyone who knows a few english words. Mojo sounds good, but it will only mean something to someone who knows the definition of the word (which doesn't include Asians).

Are we going to copy Bits or do something unique? We need to decide.

Or we could try to dump Bits theme entirely but for what?

Thats a shame you feel that way, I think Bits is fantastic (Ive not heard an alternative I prefer yet). I totally agree with what you said yesterday about everybody still calls Bitcoin by its full name and your users would have no other choice but to call it bits.

I have not decided yet. I am just exploring brandable names that would allow us to escape from under Bitcoin's shadow.

However if we go with Bits for the serious currency name instead of Quanta or Quid, then I don't like Yoobits for the social currency name.

If we must do a portmanteau with bits, I'd prefer something that doesn't have variants such as tidbits.

But I also have new ideas:

dibs
kibitz
hobnob
