Topic: Is it BitCoin or Bitcoin? (Read 2439 times)
I prefer BitCoin because that is the way the wallet.dat is and it sounds better. although the client is Bitcoin so hmm maybe that is correct we will never know
Putting a capital in the middle of a word goes against all sensible spelling rules. We generally understand compound words like grandmother and electromagnetic without using such tricks.
The only place where I somewhat tolerate it, is systems like programming languages where you need complex names without spaces, for example FooCounter = InitValue + SomeOtherValue. Even there, you usually have the option to use underscores - or simply rely on the old idea of compound words, like "foocounter" meaning a counter that counts foos.

I believe it's BitCom
Occurrence of "BitCoin" in someone's writing is generally a safe way to detect scammers and retards.

Cryptsy still has it as "BitCoin" on its list, but most other places its Bitcoin or bitcoin
Bitcoin : Protocol, paiement system.. The stuff in a whole is Bitcoin.
A unit is a bitcoin..
Some can have bitcoins, but have Bitcoins is not a correct syntax.. can't have multiple time the protocol.. in fact, no one own this protool
The letter "c" is never in caps, that does'nt make sense !

It's the Bitcoin symbol where the real confusion begins 
I personally like BTC best (like the most commonly used Bitcoin logo) but it's not an official unicode character yet.
The version on this site looks too ugly for me. It needs better anti-aliasing. I personally like BTC best (like the most commonly used Bitcoin logo) but it's not an official unicode character yet.
I always use Bitcoin, but I suppose its always up to preference, I just think its a bit easier to type out Bitcoin than BitCoin which requires an extra shift press for us lazy people.
Bitcoin maybe
many people typing like that

I think it is Bitcoin. Guess when I joined, I just saw most people typing it like such.
i usually just use BTC lol
This would probably be better set out as a poll, but my two satoshis goes with Bitcoin. As others have already said, BitCoin is how a newcomer would likely write it.
Also I feel that BitCoin suggests that it is a physical coin, like a Bit Coin.

In all fairness it should be Gigabytecoin given current prices.
The white paper which kicked things off says Bitcoin.

Write it any way that you want. bitCoin is based on decentralization. There is no central authority that enforces any particular name.
Anyway, this topic is moot. The correct spelling is 比特币. You'll see.

Bitcoin is name of the system, the protocol. There is no multiple of this, i.e. there are no Bitcoins.
bitcoin is the unit, of which you can have more than one, e.g. 3 bitcoins.
"BitCoin(s)" or abbreviating it as "BC" (instead of BTC) is for retards

loled.
This.
People who use "BitCoin" or "bitCoin" have not educated themselves on the topic and come across as noobs or clueless. (Unless of course it is an auto-correct, then it is a tech issue that isn't caught).
Edit: the paper spells it bitcoin or Bitcoin, so I think that is pretty definitive.
i prefer BitCoin
I want to at least make it appear like I know something about the topic the site is about.
If this is your goal, use "Bitcoin".BitCoin is what the people who don't know anything at all about the topic use.
I always enjoy references to either "The Bitcoin" or "The BitCoin" myself.
