Re: [Ƀits][syᕱᕳ][✨Ching/Chan][Cꙭl/¥ꙭbits] Name poll for AnonyMint's upcoming coin?
I've still to properly assimilate the various ideas and alterations that have been submitted today - having trouble keeping up with all the incoming 
Sorry if the following seems a little hurried - that's coz it is! Not much time this evening. So the following are intuitive, reflexive impressions rather than well considered. Maybe there's a function to that.
I showed many of the names to my wife without any prompting, just giving the outline requirements. She's aware of bitcoin and the block chain and kind of knows what it's about, but not a geek.
We both like Mojo for the social network currency, and these were our favourite symbols: mʘjʘ m⌾j⌾ m◉j◉ (John Lennon), and m⟳j⟲ (the latter we both thought well represented "money" leaving and returning).
She was OK with Bits - actually, I'm slowly coming around to that one.
Regarding Chan(s), she thought that sounded risky; like chance. And Cohere for the project name seemed too like a govt. project, and Quanta for the business currency a little geeky. She preferred the word Mesh to Sync - though I accept you might require a hefty amount of convincing over that one! Neither of us like Clickz; my wife said it sounded like someone trying to be cool; an "awesome dude-ness" about it; trying too hard. Cha-Ching makes us cringe - maybe a too pompous Pom reaction!
A few she came up with herself:
Munmuns (a fun phrase we use for money)
Doodads. (Truly, she came up with that before we read it here with your Dodat, Doodat Doodads, suggestions - a bit of synchronicity there!). Prefer Doodads out of the three. Doodads for us are thingamajigs; an affectionate phrase for something you don't know the name of.
JuJu
Chunks
Chips
Both undecided on Vibes, but we thought of Chime as another possible. I quite like Quantum (hope you find solace in that - ouch!).
Designed the way you have illustrated, I no longer think it is a potentially illegal/bannable use of ¥. I did not visualize what you guys were thinking. But I am not sure it is awesome or even just exceptional (depends what we are comparing it to).
Yes, yes and... Yes! This is what I was hoping originally when I first saw it.
uɃits is a grower.
Btw, Quids is close to the slang UK term for Pounds: Quid; though I expect you already know that.
Ultimately, it's a tough task in attempting to second guess the myriad cultural responses to names for a potentially global audience. What might seem right in calculation can all too easily just not connect for some mystifying reason; and again, an idea almost dismissed could take off. It's not a science. I hope more people from a wider age and cultural background contribute to this brainstorming.
So here we go:
Project name = Mesh (by itself or as a portmanteau) or ɃitSync.
Store-of-value and large asset transactions = ¥Ƀ ¥ouɃits
Social networking currency = Mojo ♏
Rapid-fire, unconscious micro-transactions = Doodads or MunMuns

Ah, so you think the ¥ symbol could cause problems? Pity, I thought you were onto something. I know you are moving away from this, but I thought I would post it up anyway. Just a rough draft (nothing is aligned), was trying see what it would look like.
