德義幣 (dé Yì bì)

德 - morality, ethics
義 - righteous, just, adopted
幣 - coin (a la Bitcoin)

Can't write chinese on here, but that's the closest I can get. Might want to ask the Chinese forums.

PS Yì could also be 億 (hundred million, c.a. 十億 for one billion), to emphasize the quantity. Chinese has a lot of homonyms that are fun to play with. There are 149 different homonyms for Yì actually (according to wikipedia) and I don't think I know even 1/10th of them.

Thanks, that's pretty cool Smiley

Coin De Vagildad (DVC)

Devcoin está chegando ao mundo falando Português como uma nova moeda se espalhando rapidamente. No próximo ano, vamos continuar "missões" para a América do Sul, e vamos trabalhar para compartilhar a impressão 3D, e outros projetos de desenvolvimento.

E nós estaremos no Hemisfério Oriental, em 2 anos.

Since the word "Development" doesn't always translate readily into every language, I am working on making names for Devcoin in every language. If you think of any others please add to the list, I will be extending it myself soon Smiley

These are not just meant to cross cultures, but to give new meanings and uses to the coin, so that it has diversity, which will help it survive.
