RE: Name YOUR decentralized social network?

So I presume you prefer mosh as the monetary token instead of my proposal for cred?

But have you contemplated the purpose and use of this proposed token? Users will be onboarding onto various applications built on the decentralized ledger such as blogging, video sharing, Q & A site, etc.. They will accumulate more of these tokens for their activity on the apps. My thought is the tokens would represent credibility and credit (not debt but merit) on the site. Do you prefer mosh because it shares the first two letters ‘mo’ with ‘money’? But we’re not primarily creating an electronic money for general use, as the first priority focus. Scaling a currency to general use requires years or decades. The near-term use of the token is within the apps (and presumably for speculation).

Another issue is do we want to use the same name (e.g. Mosh) for all the possible applications that can leverage the decentralized ledger? I think probably not. My thought is we want names best fit for each application, e.g. the Steem blockchain has Steemit and Busy for blogging, Dtube and Dlive for video sharing, etc..

So my thought is Mosh would be a good name for music sharing but it wouldn’t be a good name for a blogging site. Do you disagree?

For the token names I considered, I ranked yak as #10. So I also don’t like it as name for money. It is sort of catchy, but has bad connotations as you noted and there are better choices. Why do you not like cred or mojo? It seems to me that both of those have meanings which associate with merit or power. Whereas, mosh doesn’t have any establish meaning which associates with anything related to money. Do you like mosh because it is abstract, different, disruptive, and rebellious? I do too. That is why I like the name Unglued for a video sharing site (“unglued from mainstream TV”), but I want to read what others think about that? And because it has no established meaning such as the magical power of Mojo?

Note rebellious concepts may turn off some females and some in the mainstream of society. I suspect females like Steem because of the positive notion of esteem. Steem was the first crypto project with significant female adoption. The name Mosh may be very masculinity targeted. I hope can get some feedback from the ladies on Steem.
