IDentabit / Re: Important Criticism
« on: August 15, 2015, 09:28:42 pm »
I like this project and think it has potential. The one thing that seems unprofessional to me is the name itself. I would suggest using a naming service like http://www.namebase.com (there are many others). I would also recommend staying away from any and all cliches like "bit" for example. I would opt for a name that has nothing to do with cryptocurrency. Example: Ethereum, Ripple, Stellar, Graphene. These are all great names.

I'm not a big fan of the name either. Mainly because you will have a hard time to seem serious with French speakers.

I don't know how to make this comment and don't sound like a retarded teenager but ...

iIdentabit pronounce itself the same way as " i dans ta bite " which you can translate  from french by " i in your dick "

The equivalent thing would be like naming a french company something like "inyordik"

Any other french speakers over here who find the name no very suited for french pronunciation ?

Hahaha :)

But that's where they install the microchips! :P

Perhaps a naming schema in Esperanto would land a safe wording worldwide? :)

I already started on this naming thing in the last thread.. Something to do with badge I think would work great on a lot of levels. It fits in with something people understand.. it has poential for people to really build a personalized something out of it.. and saying 'what is your badgeID' or whatever it ends up being is universally understood.

Again.. my 2 brownie.pts.
I seriously like the Esperanto idea! Check this http://www.esperanto-panorama.net/vortaro/eoen.htm
Mono means money. Suggestions:
MonoID
IDMono
IdentMono
MonoIdent

IDMono even sounds like "the money".

Any problems with that Estaffan?  :D

I was going through this dictionary and found something that really resonated with me.

difini  =  define
 /diˈfini/
as in define yourself/itself.

Just throw an "i" in front of this and you'll get a pretty good name scheme... iDifini
You'll retain the "I.D." connection,
It's easy to pronounce though it's 4 syllables long,
and it also seems to lend to some "catchy" tag lines... " To securely privatize your public ID... iDifini" , "Have you iDifini?", "iDifini if any!"
 :D

Hi :-)

As suggested if you could take a look at our reasoning and blend your recommendations into the broader objectives please. I'm all for differing opinions but it the attached document I have explained related objectives and constructive comments be inclusive of the bigger picture.

So please take a look at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDPgdB9Ftm6TOOTPhk2ZzFQLMP2chYRXZsDo6nGWPEE/edit#heading=h.mmll6e7809dr where your thoughts are most welcome.

Many thanks, have a great weekend.

Hi Folks

Re the name:

There was and still is good reason for the name. Whilst I am not shutting down the discussion I am asking that you refer to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zDPgdB9Ftm6TOOTPhk2ZzFQLMP2chYRXZsDo6nGWPEE/edit#heading=h.mmll6e7809dr
 and comment on the reasoning presented, please don't mistakenly think the name was casual decision, the name, the logo, the color, the long game strategy for related brands, they were all contributors towards an intended business objective.

Re the ID in IDentabit, I agree that the capital D is an issue, the issue arises from the D drowning the adjacent I and hence we are left with Dentabit, sounds like a mouth guard doesn't it :-)

I have a meeting with some marketing folk this week and I will see what they say and I'll let you know, but I'd like to say thank you for the effort made debating the name and confirming a concern.

We all have our ways, it happens I am a strategic guy and consequently I am very thoughtful before making a decision, consequently I don't toss things into the ring because I am undecided. I do so to listen to opinions to ensure we haven't missed something.

I feel strongly that we all feel best when people are direct and consistent...I will do my best to be that way.

Been waiting for that thread :)

Regarding the identabit.com website:

1. In the sliding pictures at the top:

- "A serious solution to an extraordinary opportunity" -> does that make sense? might be some fancy marketing language but there are no solutions to opportunities. Noted

- "The first identity based, decentralized identity based currency" ->  Should probably say: "The first identity based, decentralized currency" Noted

2. Almost at the bottom in the security section:

- You say: "Vulnerability to theft (high) / (low)". There was a quick reasoning with the other ratings. This seems a little unfounded to me.

Nice work  ;) , at this stage we are not disclosing how this achieved but we promise we have a unique method for preventing theft

Seems like the German forum forces got your back ;)

hi thank you for your constructive comments...details in bold

Noted indicates we will address.

I would love to create an alternative logo design for IDentabit logo .. :) as i'm find the IMPACT font isn't really suited for a cutting edge business like IDentabit…

I can see why you were excited to announce this, it appears brilliant and takes into account a lot of aspects of digital currencies.

On the website, the last word on the homepage spelled wrong, "Anouncing", the LinkedIN button is only pointed at the LinkedIN homepage.

Community, help get the social media presence going, like the FB page https://www.facebook.com/identabit and follow IDentabit on Twitter https://twitter.com/identabit

Thank you for identifying mistakes and getting behind our FB and Twitter presence. Lets begin a new thread focused on how we can improve and how folk can pitch in a assist in improving our professionalism.

I have just set up a thread, Important Criticism...please join us.

Need to get some sleep catch you when I wake.

Hi All

We want to hear how we can improve anything and everything about the Identabit journey.

Lets try and keep it constructive but don't take that to mean we don't like criticism, we do.

If you are keen to help out this is the place to let us know.

Thanks folks, a great day thanks to you.

Good night I am wasted.

John

like toothpaste

Anonymous dentistry has arrived! Maintaining personal privacy and a great smile is finally possible with IDentabit! 

'We couldn't even identify him from his dental records'

I am seriously laughing, I warned our guys, if we capitalise the D then we would be seen as a dental implement, thank you but the good thing, is it makes sure people spell IDentabit with an A so it works for that reason.

+5%

ANNOUNCEMENT 8 - TL;DR:

That’s a tall order and may be the crypto equivalent of Icarus flying too close to the sun.

However, there are already several groups positioning themselves to be an IDentabit competitor, so I would much rather gamble on the winner of this game include the bitshares community and our ideologues vs. their "pragmatists".

This also makes it so much important for something like bitshares (with fully functional privacy and somewhat attainable anonymity) to succeed parallel to allow for and function as a lifeboat when the worst does eventually happen.

 :o

It is a big game but here is the argument.

Bitcoin is dead and gone, not because of the tech but the reality of failed integration with financial institutions and inability to drive adoption by way of known user association.

We are as you say, if we all scream loud enough the leader, and the leader gets to sets how high the bar is and we are setting the bar very high.

The main challenge is being recognised as the player everyone compares others with.

We must the focus the media  on the one on one battle and we need the communities help, hence the sensible share drop.

Here is our community announcement https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17934.0.html and a living marketing document that you are welcome to question.

Got to go hopefully we can catch up soon.

if anyone wonders how much they are sharedroping you can find it here http://identabit.com/docs/IDentabitAnnouncementIDentabitCryptonomex.pdf

We appreciate the interest

Stan, do you believe this coin is capable of resisting subversion with DPOS alone? If so, why would the banks go for it? An identity based chain is only useful to these despots if they can exert control (the type of control that makes slaves of everyone else's.) Surely, they will go with Ripple because it delivers exactly what they desire.

Is identabit only viable if the banks buy the long con? If not, we're back to educating the masses and hoping for mass adoption of Bitshares.....

I love the attempts to attack this from all angles and I get where underwun is coming from....guess it's worth a try!

This. It's always good to see new stuff and see better projects but I'm just wondering why would banks or other big entities go for this over Ripple. Not to mention Ripple is already known and already has deals with some big banks

Hi There

Identabit is not intended as a Ripple competitor.

The open space is for a genuine neural digital currency, Bitcoin is a dead coin rolling in our opinion and our goal is to step into the underutilized infrastructure built for Bitcoin. We will see countless stories like  37Coins closing down as investments flounder, Identabit has been introduced to give investors hope that there is a viable alternative with mainstream appeal.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-remittance-startup-37coins-announces-closure/

Once we get traction for Identabit as an alternative to Bitcoin then all the other features inherent in Bitshares become important but until then its mano o mano.

Is "IDentabit" going to be the final brand name?

Here is our announcement to the community.

Here is our branding document

There is a reason for everything and if there isn't there should be.

Great announcement, and thanks for sharedropping. However,

How will you determine "those identified as constructive contributors to Bitshares betterment"?

Thanks!

Dan's Brownie Points

puts a serious dampener on the good news. You should rename it then; calling it as Active BS Community (btw, BS :P) is unfair and harsh on those who contribute but for whatever reasons are not favoured.

I'm hopeful that no matter your holding small or large their is a win in this for you. This is the beginning of a long journey and IDentabit will have the opportunity in its own way to thank people, so let's focus on the winning the battle so we everyone gets something of something rather than thinking about something of nothing.

I support your endeavor and its a brilliant piece of news, but I don't like you saying that brownieless members are inactive/non-contributing.

I don't like that I said that...I'll take a look,

Love it - thank you  ;)

Wasn't easy to get to this point, we had to win over Dan and Stan and then work through the technical issues, both of which took a while :-)

This is a huge challenge that comes with a huge opportunity...thanks again for your support.
