What did you think of my “EDIT#3” rationalization for Stor as the name name for storage, music, and videos?

In light of that, I have another name contender for you: eternl.com

Actually I had thought of that too. I would just go for eternal.com and eternal.app is I were interested. I just think Immortal is a much better name, because it implies personal immortality. Eternal could apply to the data on the ledger, but people don’t tend to think through the backend infrastructure of how things they use actually work. Also it has a negative association to burning in hell eternally.

Would be useful to be able to toggle between upvote order and chronological thread order.

Agreed. The list of missing features is very long.

    While having a slight reservation over it being close to Storj, though preferring the above spelling, I agree that...

    ...We will store our data and then mark if we want it published publicly for sharing or identify a private group it is shared to.

    and it does seem rational in anticipation that...

    Convergence is going to happen with something similar to IPFS.

    and that...

    Stor can end up as the top sharing site for music and videos also...

    I'm not up on all the technical considerations you are aware of, but hopefully understanding the gist of what you're saying, it does make sense.

    I just think Immortal is a much better name, because it implies personal immortality.

    It also has a swagger and confidence about it which will probably appeal.

    And regarding Eternal:

    ...it has a negative association to burning in hell eternally.

    Yes, the word "eternal" can be associated with that, though a negative take on immortality could still be connected to a form of hell! Though I'll concede that most people see the concept as utopian rather than dystopian.

      I don’t think Storj can compete and remain relevant. We’ll see.

      […] We will store our data and then mark if we want it published publicly for sharing or identify a private group it is shared to.

      Will users be willing to go find music and videos on a non-descriptively named site such as Stor? With Yahoo Music and Google Play as the #2 and #3 sites for music, I think the answer is affirmative. Ditto Yahoo Screen rising to the #4 video site. Google Play was apparently switched on in January 2014. The convergence between videos and music is underway.

      […] though a negative take on immortality could still be connected to a form of hell! Though I'll concede that most people see the concept as utopian rather than dystopian.

      Yeah many people yearn to be a super wealthy until they get there and realize they’re still not happy. So yeah the grass is always greener on the other side of the mountain until we get there.

      EDIT: someone suggested to me:

      perhaps TROVE could be used for a site where people can sell and buy stuff, like a flea market or a (open-)bazaar or something

      Good idea. Yeah let’s hang on to the domains we have.
