I like Σ also. Is this poll finished already?

This poll is still open. The donation wallet has not been opened since the time it was created. I am not, repeat not tempted yet to open it and have a look.

No really Smiley

I like Σ, but on the other hand it doesn't make sense marketing wise so i vote for 12 (good job kondiomir).

I agree, at this point I'm so used to the sigma symbol, but when I think of magi, middle eastern mysticism comes to mind...

How long until this poll is over? I'd like to make a submission , but away from my PC for the night...

Forgive my ignorance, but is there a minimum number of posts before one can vote in a poll?
There isn't any option to put a limit for members to vote when I create the poll post, but I guess the forum has the default limitation, likely - Sr. member. 

No, it's just Member. Sr. Member would be quite a high exigence.

Looks like people like "Σ";  Grin I'd say a symbol like a currency is better, but anyway this is voting.

One has to say that the simplicity of Σ gives it the edge Smiley

I don't think there is any restriction. There is nothing about it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help;page=post#newpoll

Just to make things a little bit interesting, a prize fund has been started for the eventual winner of this poll. Starting donations of 250 XMG from me and 250 XMG from 111magic so that is 500 XMG guaranteed. Further donations to this fund would be appreciated. Send to this non-staking wallet address please:-

At the time of writing this, there is no closing date for this poll. When that is known, I might just take a peek at what we have in this wallet and let you know. Meantime, even I don't want to know. The wallet.dat file is backed up, backed up, backed up and backed up again to be sure, to be sure.

Edit: Thank you for your PMs pointing out the "naughty" words in the donation address. Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know, I know. Look, it just turned out like that. Ok? I didn't make it happen. Honestly. It is just one of those totally random things. That is what makes it all the funnier Wink

Here's mine ! I don't know how to achieve it on Unicode so I did it on Photoshop.



Thanks for this; actually I found the Unicode but thought that is not a good option; here it is:

Ӿ

added as #20. It looks different, let me know if you want to put your image there; I'd recommend the Unicode for easy use.

It's a bit weird in Unicode but it's will be good. It would be cool if the bar was a bit more longueur but if it impossible it isn't important.

It's not shown up properly in my working computer I am watching right now, but it was okay yesterday when I was using my home computer to post.

My entry number 18 ( "The Sum of Equality" ) does not look quite right there. It appears raised. My HTML code does not do that and the character appears in line with the numbers.

I included the original image now. I cut the symbol from the original image so it looks some different. To keep the image symbol in the same line as the numbers, I have to reduce the size further (using such small size is to test how it looks like when we embed the symbol into the normal text), but that make the symbol unclear. I added such display too now. Another thing this the white background which make the line looks strange. One concern is I am not sure how we can easily use the image symbol in the regular forum posts since we're not able to use html code here too.

(I put vertical bar as one category)


#20. - Erkallys (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10815468)

12.2356



My opinion on the method creating the symbol:
  • 1st consideration: existing Unicode character (no need of changing)
  • 2nd consideration: existing Unicode character plus adding horizontal bar or html code
