Sorry to bring that from the grave.
But my question is directly related to the topic of this tread.
I would like to know if "In cryptography we trust" would be translated correctly to "In Crypto Credimus" in Latin.
I would also like to know if you think it's a good motto for Cryptocurrency in your opinion.
Thank you in advance for your inputs !
Topic: "In cryptography we trust" (yet another Bitcoin icon) (Read 12699 times)
My suggestion: "E Pluribus Pecuniam" (Out of Many, [the] Money).
And what makes Lojban superior to any other language besides noone speaks it 
? Why not Klingon, Esperanto, Soresol or even Lingua Ignota?
I don't want to bash Lojban. It is very interesting by itself, but i don't see a reason what makes it special for our purpose here.
The benefit of Latin is, that a lot of people understand it and it is to some extend associated with old sigils and emblems - in the western World. Elsewhere my point is pointless. Therefore I proposed an iconographic language. But I don't see that Lojban is reasonably common anywhere in the world.

Lojban is geekier than Latin, and more related to computers as well, and it was created with crossing borders in mind
I don't think bitcoin tries to prove the Saphir-Whorf-hypothesis...
"In Math we trust" I want a t-shirt saying that
How about if instead of Latin the message was written in Lojban ?

You would probably offend a large portion of the USA with that slogan. Probably not the best idea for promotion techniques.

You're right. It isn't.
I originally said "The USD is not backed by God" :S What is going on here?!
6 to one, half dozen the other
Both are correct

I think latin is much better than english. Who would wants to associate the Bitcoin with only the english-speaking world? Even tough latin may be associated with the holy guys in rome... Can't we use icons like there are on these space probes? ;-)
I think since it is called BITcoin, we should try to encode something in binary on the coin, no? Maybe like a barcode when 0 and 1 take too much space. And it can be in big- and little endian on the opposite sides :-)

How about emphasising the decentralized nature of a p2p currancy?

Very Orwellian, I like it.
+1!
I see the reference to Cryptography to be no different than saying "In Mathematics we trust" (as cryptography is a branch of mathematics). It's a science in one of the purest forms. That's why it becomes an interesting play on the antithesis "In God we trust" as the purest form of faith.
My next favourite so far is "Unity in division" by deadlizard. It's not quite as self-explanatory though, which I suppose lends itself more to latinization. If it was a concise understandable statement, I'd keep it in english.

How proficient are you in Latin? It's been a while (to say the least) since I studied it, but isn't "to stand" in the plural 1st properly declinated "stamus"? "tribuo" sounds suspect as well.
And I got the wrong language
..... Does "dividus stamus" look better? 
Sorry, i disagree with any promotion of BTC that implies we have something to hide, ie, the "crypto" part.
i totally understand. in fact i love the cryptography, anonymity too, but i'm looking at it from a marketing aspect to the masses and esp. our gov't.

If you go with Latin I'd put the translation of:
open,secure,of the people
patefacio , tutis , publicus open,secure,of the people

how about "central banks we distrust" ?
How about Parcus Licentia (Economic Liberty) as a motto?
