Rename "Bitcoins" to "Credits." The term "Credit" would be awfully difficult to trademark, and I think we can all agree that having a universal, decentralized currency called "Credits" would be _awesome_.

- Keyframe 15y agoNo. That would be Imperial Credits.
- wladimir 15y agoI think that would be a good move, as "bitcoin" isn't really a good name. 1) it's not about coins at all and 2) I wouldn't be sad for getting rid of the nerdy "bit". Yes, it's a cryptocurrency, but that's just the underlying system. IMO the focus is on building a decentralized, global currency. The problem with "credits" would be that it's very hard to Google, it's not really a distinctive name. It does sound nicely futuristic, though.
