Heh... I'm trying to delve into the recesses of my mind to find the drawer where I keep my high school Latin. And yet, part of me thinks that for a group that doesn't seem to know the difference between "except" and "accept", or between "affect" and "effect", this thread might just be a tad precious, no?

Piper67,

if it is as you say then such a group should not use Latin Wink

spiccioli.

I agree... in the true decentralised nature of bitcoin, I think we should come up with the same phrase in Esperanto!

How about something more modern, and designed with the idea of better human-computer communication - Lojban!

Or we can make it truly universal and put a representation of an atom of hydrogen... like the Voyager probes

Let's not exclude a coin with an Ebonics phrase, if we go that route. FlashMobCoin anyone?

Vis in Numeris

The guy who said the correct expression is 'Vis in Numeris' sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I take claim of anonymous guy on the forum over the collective wisdom of the internet.

and

hmm... not clean cut... but Vires in Numeris it is IMO (I wish I had Latin class in High School or Uni).

Vladimir,

as I said in the other thread, big bad G doesn't know Latin

Good point and, I for one, would accept any advise you offer.

Hahah you did that on purpose didn't you?

I would have probably gone with "in numeris vires"... but again, Latin was a long time ago for me. I'm sure there are other classically-inclined bitcoin enthusiasts on this board.

I'm glad I saw this issue brought up in another thread because I currently have Martin working a new design, therefore I would appreciate clarification on this concern before I give him the go ahead and continue tooling.
