RE: Name YOUR decentralized social network?
For me, the term mesh captures the meshing of all the open source data (and people, thus socially interwoven) interacting on trustless, permissionless ledger. So meshing speaks to the derivative features the dLedger creates as well as to topology. Ledger is focused and descriptive only of the core function. A dLedger enables a dMesh.
dMesh could also be construed to be the name of the technology that makes the ledger unique.
Yes, in the light of that clarification, selecting dMesh over dLedger does seem to make sense.
The dmesh.com domain is not in use.
Which is certainly useful.
But recently in my discussion with you, we decided to name the ledger a technical name and use different mainstream names for the dApps.
So the name dMesh itself would not need to be "catchy" as such but still be memorable and accurately discriptive - "serious" enough - for technical / professional users; in contrast to the mainstream social media dApp names, such as the previously floated Oodles, Bleep, Keeper, Uncommons etc? Value being created by both groups, in turn implicitly and explicitly. The robustness of the decentralised technology being proliferated by the appeal of the individual dApps, though many of the users likely being initially unaware and/or uncaring of its underlying qualities.
Although
CRED
for the token name and perhaps dMesh for the project/blockchain, are decent names. Frankly they are not matched to each other and they do not stand out. I doubt anybody has any idea what dMesh is supposed to mean.How bout CREDledger?
Right, I see. For me at least, CRED still cuts it for the token.
Are there any of the previous name ideas that are in the frame, or a complete rethink to replace dMesh for the ledger - is dLedger still out?
It seems a tall order, but maybe not impossible, to get everything you demand out of one short or shortish word.
BTW, I can't recall if you've already mentioned having used the business name generator Namelix ,or something similar, for ideas.
I quickly entered a few search terms and included in the results actually were dMesh and dLedger! Now some or all of these other results (apologies if there are any of your own in there) will probably not meet your requirements, but they might spark ideas so have included them: NetLedger and NetMesh, MyLedger, BitMesh, ShareMesh, Networkzi, NetSpeed (a New Zealand broadband provider), QuickMesh, Sledger (alluding to speed with"sledge"), EZmesh, EZLedger, EZbit, Dequick, BitQuick, QuickLink, Meshized, MeshMate, MeshTools, BitIzed.
One in there was PLedger, which I thought might be a possible dApp name for a future Patreon replacement.
Anyway, I'll leave it there.
