I am trying to think of a name for:
A very finely grained like-mindness, crowd rating system. With rewards to those who produce highly ranked content within like-minded coteries.
Is eSteem the best name for that?
Zuckerberg called it facesmash--but missed that it wasn't that users were rating girls "they knew", but that their ratings determined the outcome and gave them control of the outcome. He Also didn't monetize it, but tried to backend advertising schemes on it years later to the disappointment of his base (who were quite happy with free popularity grabs).
I named it coopital:
https://www.namecheap.com/domains/whois/results.aspx?domain=coopital.orgBut I think there might be a catchier name.
Like steemit? The lead's there, anything you start will hinge on its failure, rather than it being supplanted by a better, but still similar, implementation. You also have to consider that a hundred other developers are chomping at the bit if this things looks the slightest bit wobbly.
But putting all that aside, what is coopital? I was thinking captcha.com would be catchy, but it's owned--though captcha.club is 59.99 and not so terrible.
