There is a new notion of effectively buying shares in songs by endorsing them and this notion should have a verb
"Upnote"
Just throwing ideas around, if it can inspire great ideas to others!
- Blast it
- Bump it up (in reference to the idea of pushing the song up the charts by buying shares and promoting it)
- Crank it
- Boost it

+5% Yeah, been trying to think of funky names, but HitShares is pretty simple and ties in nicely with Bitshares.
You can't beat shares as a word for what we do either, shares as in shares of something and as in sharing something.

Just remember that this will probably be a consumer facing site, where, like spotify, most users have no idea what's going on behind the scenes with artists and record companies. As cob said this site will be geared towards music listeners not crypto nerds like us. The fact that music shares will exist in an open market will be a nice draw for music artists, but not user-listeners

i agree delulo - HitShares would fit nicely to BitShares by name but sound kind of cheap for me also - just said ..

Who came up with Keyhotee.. that's a great name and not so lazy/obvious as ones above.
Perhaps look to baby names.. I haven't time atm.. but Native American throws
Ujurak - rock (Inuktitut)
Kanti - Sings (Algonquin)
Knoton - Wind (NAtive American)
+?
Yeah no new DAC should use "bit", "coin" or "dac". I'd even be in favour of that being added to the social contract. Personally I even think the brandname "bitshares" is to close to bitcoin for comfort.
+5% for Kanti. It also evokes musical words in European languages: cantar in Spanish, cantare in Italian.

Oddly my favorite suggestion so far is "Canary". Sing like a Canary.. ok.. not exactly fitting but.. ..
Canarys were carried into mines because they'd die before the miners, thereby allowing miners to escape. So there is an analogy that fits for crypto nerds...

Maybe worth considering ancient Greek names too, in the same vein as Pandora, Sirius, etc.

Efterpi "Ευτέρπη" Protector of lyric poetri
Polimnia "Πολύμνια" the muse of religion poetry
Mousiki (music)
Armonia (Armony)
Chorografia or Chorographia "Χορογραφία" is chorography
Choros ("χορός") dancing
Lyra or Lira "Λύρα" is an ancient Greek music instrument used today as well
Peanas or maybe Paianas "Παιάνας" hiσ lyrics were correlated with the music of salvation when something good happened or something bad was avoided
All in all I think that Apollonas or Apollon is the strongest name relating to ancient Greek music. You get a fancy ancient God picture of Apollon holding his lyra on one hand and valuable music shares on the other hand and you are in business..
or,
Apollonian shares
Apollonian music
Apollon shares
AOEDE: Variant spelling of Greek Aoide, meaning "to sing."
AOIDE (Αοιδή): Greek name meaning "to sing." In mythology, this is the name of the one of the three original Muses before their number was increased to nine. It is also the name of a moon of Jupiter
TERPSIKHORE (Τερψιχόρη): Greek myth name of a muse of dance, meaning "enjoying the dance."
PHILOMELA (Φιλομήλα): Greek name composed of the elements philos "dear, sweet" and melos "song," usually rendered "sweet singer; nightingale." In mythology, this is the name of a princess who was raped and had her tongue cut out.
.
CALLIDORA: Greek name composed of the elements kallos "beauty" and doron "gift," hence "gift of beauty."
EUMELIA (Ευμελια): Ancient Greek name derived from the word eumeleia, meaning "melody."
LIGEIA (Λίγεια): Greek name derived from the word ligeios, meaning "clear-toned" or "shrill whistling voice." In mythology, this is the name of one of the Sirens.
PARTHENOPÊ (Παρθενορή): Greek name composed of the elements parthenos "virgin" and ops "voice," hence "virgin voice." In mythology, this is the name of one of the Sirens
HARMONIA (Αρμονία): Greek name meaning "concord, harmony." In mythology, this is the name of the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite. Her Latin name is Concordia.
Ear2Ear (means "big smile", ears relate to music, and sounds like peer2peer. Makes me think of passing music between people - from ear to ear)
Ear To Ear
Just out of curiosity, why do you say that "Songster" is too derivative? Yes, the 2nd syllable rhymes with Napster. Again, though, "Songster" is a real word, not a made-up word, so its partial rhyming with other names shouldn't be a deal-breaker. If rhyming makes a word too derivative, then, by that standard, nearly all of the names suggested so far should be ruled out, including "ear2ear", which rhymes with things like "peer-to-peer".
Actually I think "ear2ear" could be effective, but one possible issue is that a lot of businesses and websites are already using it, far more than are using "songster".
Do a Google search and you'll find not only a website selling hearing aids, but also quite a few music-related sites and musicians' online IDs. Perhaps using "ear2ear" may be ok if Bitshares can carve out a sufficiently unique niche. But "ear2ear" could also make trademark infringement allegations against Bitshares more likely.

We are negotiating with some domain name squatters.. the bastards! lol. Can't wait for Bitshares DNS to change the game ^^
I will update you in the next week to let you know what we chose.
We have been working on the regulatory side of things. We are a centralized entity trying to facilitate the creation of user created assets, so we have to make sure we aren't shut down by the regulators.
Can you say barrier to entry? (:
If you guys want a recent update, check out the Bitcoins and Gravy podcast, episode 18. We get on around the 30 min mark. I would link it, but it's not up yet, well not on soundcloud or youtube yet.

You can't image how difficult is was to find something that had the .com available, the twitter handle available, and the facebook page available.
Not to mention it had to not be complete crap! Had to explain what it is to the masses... all in two syllables.
We've got a name. And we are always open to rebranding before going mainstream. But for now, we've got our front end platform .com name.
