Thanks to all that voted. The polls (all 4 of them, see the OP) allowed me to learn about how a great name for a crypto-currency has to balance many different qualities. It has to be brandable (meaning it will be memorable, and won't have a gazillion lookalike copycoin cats), implicitly understood by difference demographic audiences (e.g. n00bs and technophiles), avoid legal issues, etc..
Any way, I have a superior name now. The name to conquer all other names! I will announce the new name when I announce availability of the testnet.
Also I have asked normal people what "bit coin" or "bits coin" means to them, and they all say "bitten coin" or "little bits of a coin", thus normal (n00b not programmers) people do not inherently associate it to digital money. The problem with a name containing "bit" is that if you try to market this broadly, people will not inherently understand it by the very important word-of-mouth (in my case Facebook Likes) viral marketing strategy.
I am eager to announce the new name, but I will wait until I have something in testnet, so isn't just more vaporware masturbation. Also to prevent copycats from getting leverage by being first.
I will just say the best name has always been under our noses but there is a reason it hasn't been suggested. As it turns out, that reason not to suggest that name can be easily resolved!! Let me give you a hint:
subdomainshttps://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/intro-to-custom-domains/If the domain you want is already taken, consider a different TLD[second level domain and then use your own custom third level domain]. For example, janedoe.com may be taken, but janedoe.me[jane.doe.me] may be available instead.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hackA domain hack is a domain name that suggests a word, phrase, or name when concatenating two or more adjacent levels of that domain. For example,
http://bir.ds/ and
http://examp.le/, using the fictitious country-code domains
.ds and
.le, suggest the word birds and example respectively. In this context, the word hack denotes a clever trick (as in programming), not an exploit or break-in (as in security).
History
On November 23, 1992, inter.net was registered. In the 1990s, several hostnames ending in "
pla.net" were active. The concept of spelling out a phrase with the parts of a hostname to form a domain hack became well established. On Friday, May 3, 2002,
icio.us was registered to create
del.icio.us. Delicious would later gain control of the
delicio.us domain, which had been parked since April 24, 2002, the day the .us ccTLD was opened to second-level registrations.
So in preparation for this new strategy I registered the following names (which were ideas I had since 2014 when I was originally pursuing Dots as my project name) as part of the fallback legal strategy:
dotcash.co $3
dotcash.us $4
dotcash.biz $4
The new PERFECT name is _?_
.cash (i.e. _?_ "DOT" cash) or alternatively _?_
cash.cash (see the "DOT cash" is still there in this latter version).
You will soon know what the _?_ is if you aren't able to deduce it from the hints provided.
After all it doesn't matter who was first to name something. What matters is who will have the justification for claiming the name because they make it globally popular.
I am talking about a name that was coined in 1994 and registered in 1995.
There is no way any one will dislike the new name. I am sure it will be more popular than any other name for crypto-currency. 100% sure. It is a similar certainty as when I selected the name CoolPage in the Fall of 1998. I am so sure I don't need to ask nor tell anyone:
Why even bother naming it? You'll only get bored and give it a new name in a few months anyway.
I sought out and bought the CoolPage.com domain for $500 from a third party ($1500 or so inflation-adjusted). That name has remained consistent for 16 years and even my primary email address is still on that domain. The former registrant was able to buy a more appropriate domain for his programming business site, and pocked the difference as well as being able to tell everyone he was the prior owner of that domain I made slightly (0.3% internet reach) popular at the turn of the century (long since forgotten after the Friendsters, Myspaces, Facebooks, Vibers).
I know a great name when I see one and I don't vacillate. I am also an artist who demands perfection and maximum creativity in what I do. This is precisely why your culture is suffocating for me and I can't work with your culture. I am an artist.
Btw, I retain all the prior name ideas (and the registered domains) as fallback options. I also registered an alternative spelling for vibes (since it was on sale for $4):
vybes.us $4
I had some weeks ago registered:
vibes.cash $25
