I don't like this insistence on having a mathematical/coding/encryption angle to the name - it only means anything to us, it only impresses some of us - real people don't give a shit. Also, all this stealth stuff, it's just too polarising, it's as likely to put off just  as many as it attracts - BTC still carries the Silk Road baggage around.

In the wider world it is much more important that people are not intimidated by the name - it's going to take a leap of imagination on new users parts just to begin to get their heads round crypto - lets not scare them off before they've even tried.



You realize that BBR is filling a niche for people that want the highest and most secure cryptocurrency, one with complete and total anonymity?  BBR isn't competing with bitcoin. Bitcoin can't provide privacy and autonomy.

There are hundreds of coins competing with bitcoin. Most, probably all, will lose.

BBR is competing against the powers of the world that don't want people to have privacy and autonomy.



Just realised I conflated a reply to two posts.

From above:

Quote
As for the idea that we are only offering something to the tech savvy/anonymous transaction user.... why in the hell why?

BBR offers security, ease of use (or at least better than others), speed and (optional) anonymous transactions.... what else does a normal, casual user want? Why shouldn't he use BBR too? Maybe BBR could overtake BTC one day, why not?

To suggest we cripple the coin by deliberately only appealing to a tiny segment of potential users is..... mental.

Are you sure you understand marketing? I'm amazed that you view BBR this way - you need to expand your horizons.

Of course "most probably all will lose", but one (at least) should succeed, you seem to be limiting the chances of that happening for BBR.

This isn't a war - I am genuinely concerned which direction you want to take the coin in, you seem to want to drive it further underground and use it in some personal ideological battle.

Here was my proposal


Ripple is great, so is splash. but these terms are very broad. ripple had deep pockets already to buy-out domain and handle marketing.

here is my idea



keccash/kecash (mispronounced) as kek-ash or even keycash, not ketchash
Neutral, short (2 syllables) unique- reflects cash properties as well reference to underlying algo.

Google: About 20 results

preregged domains

Code:
keccash.com
keccash.org
kecash.com
kecash.org


Though personally despite initially disliking boolberry I've grown quite accustomed to it, fond even.
The short ticker name also works.  "Sent you 20 BBR" just rolls of the tongue easily, it doesn't sound pretentious or dramatic IMO. There is no existing brand competition. I don't think we should try to force any branding at this time as it could be counterproductive, everyone can make suggestions and see if we can come to some slight consensus, it seems as for now the classic name is still preferred generally.

The name "flooz" was based upon the Arabic word for money, فلوس, fuloos

who cares if some degenerates call women floozie. ive never heard it too before. besides, if they call them that way its because they love money too much! they love money more than themselves and thats why they are prostitute

i think its perfect, im in love with the name, i wonder what zoidberg will think of it

plz make suggestions
clearly Rune was not liked by a lot of people, but you are the only one finding something wrong with ciphers so far

it is crypto, I think people can handle ciphers

Most importantly I can market with "ciphers" as it is really a neutral word, also the google test shows a bunch of links about cryptography

So far my mind is as always - change nothing.

Blackberry = phones

Apple = erotic sexual communications devices

Orange = Mobile Phone provider

Raspberry Pi = Tiny little linux thing

You see? Tech companies using friendly names with good connotations because they are trying to attract real people. No one thinks they are a breakfast cereal manufacturer.

As for the idea that we are only offering something to the tech savvy/anonymous transaction user.... why in the hell why?

BBR offers security, ease of use (or at least better than others), speed and (optional) anonymous transactions.... what else does a normal, casual user want? Why shouldn't he use BBR too? Maybe BBR could overtake BTC one day, why not?

If you google boolberry, only boolberry comes up - unless the replacement name is really, really good, what's the point of giving away unique billing on google?

So here is the challenge which we found when talking with Zoidberg.

He seems to dislike the easy words that end in coin, notes, rings and the likes. Believe me the names thrown so far are de-ja-vu all over again. I notice at least 3 names so far in this page which I myself came up with and had already suggested to him a while ago and he rejected those. I know they are catchy and they fit so well.

Edit:

Oh, and anything ending in "ring" just makes me think of cockring, but maybe that's just me...... did I say that out loud?  Embarrassed

Network name: Enciphering

Good. Shorten to Ciphering

The currency units would be ciphers. "Pay me 5 ciphers please".

Rune reminds me also of Dune.
This is pretty catchy

+1 make it happen.

I like Ciphering. Easy to say and catchy as well.

Could also do Ciphernote.

Well at least the wheels are in motion now and we realize how tough the most trivial thing can be.

Rebranding is happening. Those who were unable to accept the new names, let your voices be heard in a more productive way please.
