RE: Name YOUR decentralized social network?
My 18 year old daughter prefers CRED over netbits. She said it is easier to remember and vocalize. Her perspective is from a social media user, not from our niche altcoin speculator markets. I forgot to ask her about ibits, which is more personalized “i+bits” connoting perhaps “my bits”.
Remember I started from trying to think of a better project name for the decentralized ledger separate from any mainstream social media dApps that might be built on top of it. So my brainstorm progression was Hyperdata + CRED → Interdata + ?→Interbits + ibits → Netbits + netbits.
Perhaps Hyperdata + CRED is still the best. Problem again is that people associate hyper- with fast and not the more generalized meaning which applies in this case.
The project and ledger name is really a different target demographic (speculators and geek developers) from the mainstream dApps.
I have new idea: dData
dApps need a decentralized ledger. Seems that ledger should be name dData. Seems to perfectly hit the target demographic for the project and ledger name.
P.S. I’ve been busy collecting information for a new blog: https://steemit.com/computing/@anonymint/parallelization-obsoletes-the-desktop-computer
I haven’t ever lost enthusiasm for CRED... Only question I would raise for dData is how it’s vocalised. dData just sounds like data. Or would it be “d-data”? How might someone know when just reading it? Why not dLedger or dLog etc?
I read it as "d-data", but whether, say, non-English speakers would I don't know.
I agree dLedger may be better than dData. I registered some of the
dledger.*domains. Thanks for the feedback.Regarding your other question, I analyzed Hashgraph in part 2 of the blog series you posted to.
Cheers mate. BTW don’t know if I’ve said it but your posts and insights are very much appreciated
I do myself too. Did she give you feedback on any of the other recent name suggestions; "Oodles" for instance?
Agree.
For me, I think johhnyflynn's dLedger, just edges it for appealing to "speculators and geek developers". A pretty good one for a combined project and ledger name. If that were chosen, would you still use ibits for the token name, as it is catchy?
I thought of another too for a social media / token name (but haven't trawled previous posts to check if it's been used as a suggestion already), which is:
Grats or Gratz (with perhaps GRTZ as a ticker) which implies a gift as in "grateful"; "Grazie", Italian for "thank you", and also an informal shortening of "congratulations", celebrating a gift of tokens for content etc.
