I appreciate this feedback.
However, neither lend themselves to being pluralised without sounding awkward, unlike CRED.
I’m not so sure about that, “pay me 432 knol please.” Implying paying 423 knowledge, because knowledge is plural. Ditto mosh.
It’s a bit weird though, although this is arguably less weird, “pay me 432 mØsh please.”
"Uber" doesn't have any apparent connection with a paradigmatic shift in the manner of hailing taxis, but it's a cool word (and font) that people quickly took to.
It’s abstract. It didn’t have anything to do with taxis before. Whereas, cred may associate with credit, which is the negative vibe in this global sovereign debt collapse that will be ongoing for the next decade and cause a lot of pain worldwide. Or maybe people will happy they can still get some credit.
My wife thought KNOL and MOSH both sounded more masculine, but CRED as neutral.
Yeah that is what I originally thought also.
Btw, I'm not sure what you meant meant further up when you previously mentioned it as "cartoonist".
C.f. the “Street Cred”(ibility) logos on this blog.
I like knol because it can be both the main website name and the token name combined. Less confusion. That can be about blogs, discussion forums, Q & A, and Wikipedia clone. But maybe people will think knowledge is boring, not fun, and stay away.
My latest blog is emphasizing the knowledge age transformation:

The concept would be that the more you use the site, the more knol (i.e. knowledge) you accumulate (both in your head and in knol tokens).
Also it would be neato to take Google’s expired formerly trademarked name idea and use it to disintermediate Google with, lol.
Most Millennials probably don't even remember Google’s Knol.
KNOL can also be interpreted as "knoll", a small hill or mound, suggesting being able to see above your surroundings to improve knowledge)
Makes me think of:

A place of refuge outside the mainstream economy. Something abstract and “feel good” might align us better with Millennials.
I need to overcome my age and my aspiration expressed in my most recent blog linked above and put my marketing cap on. Don’t moralize in marketing. Sell what your users want.
There’s lots of interesting terms in the Babylonian language:

There’s ebiru meaning to cross to the other side.
