SteemQ needs a new name. I have been brainstorming for better name ideas with friends, and while we have some good ideas, we haven't conjured up a great name yet. I am thus turning to crowd wisdom for help.
What is SteemQ about?
The goal of SteemQ is to build a video platform on STEEM. We believe there is a better way of connecting content creators with their audiences, as well as monetizing content in a way that is not tied to the traditional advertising model.
Contest
The goal of this contest is to come up with a new, better name for our project.
The name can be a made up word or something witty and clever. It can be somehow loosely related to what we are about, or not at all.
Guidelines:
- should be easy to pronounce/remember
- should be available to register as .io or .tv
- ideally, .com shouldn't be taken by an established company
- can not contain the word STEEM
- can not be infringing on an existing trademark
The winner of the contest is whomever suggests a name that we end up using for the project. You can suggest as many names as you like.
Good luck and happy brainstorming.
TLDR: Think of a good name for rebranding SteemQ, and submit it in the comments for a chance to win 1,000 STEEM.
Well...
blhovi
It's a madeup word that's super clever lol. You know why? Well, I just published a new blhovi. You can check it out and my other blhovis too. 😎
Vubu
Short, simple, two syllables. Self-rhyming like many successful web/internet apps (Snapchat, YouTube). Can be backronymed into something like "Video ____ By Us."
There's an existing Polish online store called vubu.pl, that's all I found.
Vubu is a winner IMO ;) Short easy to grap difficult to forget ;) Bingo
Muuvy
Hey, @summon please share in what cryptocurrencies you invested?
P.S it's very interesting to know where smart people invest.
Quib
Streemit.tv is currently available.
The .com is at "make an offer"
Good fortune to you & your great idea.
Good name, I also like Ustream.tv
How about:
veed.io
Viva
Vivo
Vsteem
4KHD
4KHQ
Fave
GoVid
TrueHQ
TrueHD
Shutter
Zoomin
Sframe
I like...

Zoomin
Treeviddy.io. A play off the "Tree-Fiddy" meme from South Park:
You could make "about tree-fiddy" posting videos on TreeViddy.
lol
lol
3video :)
divid / Divid / edit: diVid / divvid
Two syllables, self rhyming and a palindrome. Conceptually ties to video and also hints at the nature of the platform, like dividends.
Not much in the way of trademarks for it out there as far as I can tell, and divid.com is a blank page.
VStreem ?
YouStreem ?
Steemeo ?
WeStreem ?
I like steemeo!
It's a longshot but vid.io is a nice name and domain. It redirects to vidiq.com. Maybe they'd sell it?
uStreem
bitStreem
StreemHub
Streemit
eStreem
vidStreem
Definitely think Streem should be part of the name
eStreem
Dyme
Simple, one syllable, homonym of dime, hinting at the potential to earn on the platform.
Dayum! :P
It could work!
what tim said :D
Good one, I like it. Unfortunately, its taken.
I checked the .com and saw it was parked. I figured it was available, but I guess these guys are too cool for a .com: http://dyme.co/
Fuck those guys anyway. Take their name when they burn out the rest of their VC money. Should be soon:
Quvo
Another unique, short, and simple one. Google tells me that Quvo is a slangy contraction in Spanish meaning "What's up"
As for anyone else using the name there's a taqueria/brewery in Florida and that's about it.
Going with some friendly sounding names:
Mylo
Catina
Kele
Myta
Perla
Glisa
fola
glita
all great for those new AI assistants :D
Fraimed
frame-aimed. Dot.com is free too
everlasting.io
^Neither .com nor .io appear to be owned by an established company. Rationale: IIRC any video uploaded will essentially be out there on the internet permanently, correct? It's fully decentralized (links, hash etc. in Steem blockchain, video in a decentralized medium)?
If that's the case maybe the name should focus on the permanency of it, given that is the main feature vs. centralized competitor platforms.
The alternative is to focus on the censorship resistance. Financial rewards are good but it doesn't differentiate from YouTube, at least the rewards aren't high enough yet.
Some others along the same thought lines:
Indestructible Video
Indestructible.io
VideoMason
VidMason
I seem to recall there was someone in NAZI Germany who kept running a radio station despite the risk of being found and persecuted. I could be misremembering, or maybe there is a similar story in another authoritarian regime. If there was such a person/story, perhaps it could be named after them.
Immortalise
Immortal Video
Undying
Undying Video
liked the first one all the latter seem strange and unwelcoming :D everlasting sounds simple and precise others are slapped together :D
I really like Seeit.com it's short and easy to remember. A really cool logo could be made from this. Here's a quick drawing I made to give you an idea.
Obviously it could be designed much better by someone from 99designs.com
Here are my top 5:
Powervids
picturebox.tv
URvid?
Actually SteemQ is already a great name.
but has steem in it
Yes, but I still liked it... nothing to be ashamed of calling it steem.
suppose so, have you heard of the news surrounding the license :) steeMIT
No I have been away intermitanty with travel, is there a link?
check the @steemitblog it's still the latest news :)
BlockStreem.tv - A decentralised video platform on the Steem blockchain.
blockstreem.tv, blockstreem.io and blockstreem.com are all available.
liberstreem.tv and the domains are currently available
Maybe - challenge.com, tomove.io
Would this replace YouTube, as in have all those capabilities? Commenting to mark this article for later, in case I think of a good name.
How about Streem?
Streemit
gloryme.com
steevichain.com
vidchain.com
Hi! I offer the option for rebranding : SteemClickSnap ( SCS )
a simple click ...one-click access ...one click...one-click access...
top 3:
seetrue.io/seetrue.tv
IQ.io/IQ.tv
More to come!
How about Vapor? Go viral and turn your Vapor into Steem. It's easy to pronounce, 2 syllables (2 or less seems best IMO), and plays well into the "steam" metaphor. Also it starts with a "V", so a corollary to Videos is easy to make.
Only downside is you'd need to get creative with the domain name. You could probably buy vapor.tv but vapor.io is in use by a "Cloud" company.
I came up with the following names. One of which MAY be the one for you :
cryptotube
cryptoshare( .com is available for sale)
cryptovid
tubevid(for sale)
streemvid
streemconnect
How about:
Steenema or Stinema
Cross between Steem and cinema😉
Good luck with that new name @furion.
like a Steem Enema ! cool.
Stinema it is then ;) English isn't my first language, so I didn't think about this when I posted.
I've got it "Streemit" it even has a little jingle ring to it and supports all the letter of the Parent. :) So what do you think?
OK so I was so sure of this "Streemit" name that I went ahead and secured the streemit.tv domain. The .com was taken and I can not register the .io
If you don't want the streemit.tv domain I will sell it or just let it lapse...
@ned Just a note to let you all know that I am not trying to get rich by charging a fortune for use of the streemit.tv domain I secured for your video project and name contest. If you decide that you want to use it, then it is yours for the asking. No charge...
I have it registered on Bluehost if that helps you to decide.
I vote for VIDEOPWNAGE
YouSteem
SteemyTV
SteemBox
SteemTube
so you, ytv, box and tube nice selection :)
ytv will get hate from google but looks nice :D
Thanks! I hope one of my options gets chosen! Would be cool to know I helped Steemit grow and coined the name soon to be used by millions! 😎
STEEMTV (SMTV) ...
Along the same lines as Dyme,
Quyd or Qyd
Again a one syllable word. And a homonym of quid, hinting at value (at least to Brits :P). Rhymes with "vid." The letters in Qyd could be easily adapted into a stylized logo and smartphone app icon.
Googling, there is an old band from Germany named Quyd but I doubt there would be any trademark issues.
If this name isn't selected please create a British football betting site.
sQuyd or sQyd you could even have a squid mascot.
tubesteem.io
tubesteem ( io, tv )
Purge or Purgeteem
It's hard to come up with cool names that haven't been taken. I suggest QueStream
STQ
Stoptic.io is available for $32.88/yr
chainview
blockflix
what about SteemTube?
ViSteem?
Veem?
Vsteemit?
Clamour
Similar rationale to my other suggestions, it's the closest word I can think of to 'refuse to be silenced'.
