EDIT #3
During my period of unreliable connectivity (now back home), I've been considering your remarks (have read up to and including Edit 3) regarding Trove, Trovve ( my preferred), Trov, Root, Recorded, Record, Recorda, Funkybits, Vidbits, Store, Stor, Jambox, Immortal - particularly the latter.
...Also after further thought, I think everyone wants one immutable place to store everything in their life and not dozens of different sites they have to deal with for storing different things. Thus I’m doubting whether we need separate names for storage, music, and videos. I think the future is convergence of all of three of these. 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.
In light of that, I have another name contender for you: eternl.com
The domain is available for offer on name.com, so you also have the desired .app extension.
(Minimum offer of $500 on afternic.com )
Also, etrnl.com is $3,214.25 at name.com
Hmm so maybe Mosh is more appropriate for a decentralized governance or DAO. Competes with the suggestion Civitas.
Yes, that's an interesting re-application idea.
Actually nothing is ever deleted from the blockchain. The 7 days is a policy of the Steemit client to not display what is still stored on the blockchain.
Thanks for clarifying. I was trying to reconcile that fact to how the Steemit 7-day editing window was possible, when I assumed that by hitting "Post" it was saved - forever. I would like access to previous edits of posts/comments on Steemit for the sake of transparency.
Yet Steemit is lacking so many features such as the ability to quote or copy+paste a message, so that you could have for example copy+pasted my table rather than manually retyping it...
And I thought it was me not being able to find how to do it in Markdown (being a noob to it)! Would be useful to be able to toggle between upvote order and chronological thread order.
What did you think of my “EDIT#3” rationalization for Stor as the name name for storage, music, and videos?
Actually I had thought of that too. I would just go for
eternal.comandeternal.appis 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.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...
and it does seem rational in anticipation that...
and that...
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.
It also has a swagger and confidence about it which will probably appeal.
And regarding Eternal:
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.
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.
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:
Good idea. Yeah let’s hang on to the domains we have.
