100 STEEM + Liquid Rewards From This Post To Whomever Can Come Up With The Best Name

in #bounty7 years ago


I'm sure most of you know by now that I and a few others are working to develop a new curation guild which will be composed of strictly volunteers who feel passionately about Steemit. We aim to ensure that the very best content receives the very best of rewards.

Initially, we had considered naming this new curation guild, SteemTrust.

I liked that it had a double meaning. Being trust, as in faith in one's integrity, and the legal term trust, where trustees hold onto someone(s) property or money(in this case voting power) for the benefit of all.

However, considering we live in a world where things such as the Patriot Act or the UN Peacekeepers do the exact opposite of what their titles imply, we thought that SteemTrust may sound a bit scammy.

We are not a scam. We don't intent to be a scam. Our intentions are pure and we would like the name of the guild to express that.

Given that this is about the community, we thought; Why not let the community decide on the name?

I am offering a 100 STEEM bounty, as well as the liquid rewards from this post, to whomever is able to come up with the best name for our new curation guild.

Things to keep in mind:

  • It needn't contain the word guild. There are plenty other words to the same effect, such as cooperative or syndicate which I have previously considered. We even briefly entertained naming it simply, "up". So, get creative. Anything goes.

  • We want it to represent our founding principles. That means the volunteer aspect; doing it for free because you want to see Steemit succeed. Not for personal gain or privilege. That also means rewarding only the very best of content, regardless of the type of content or the level of the author. Finally, we represent an end to delegated voting power being used to flag posts or comments. There will never be a single downvote from this guild.

Please keep these things in mind whilst making your proposals.

Make as many entries as you like, but try and keep them all in the same comment so as not to make the comments section overpopulated.

To be eligible for the 100 STEEM and the rewards from this post, you must resteem the post to give everyone a chance to get involved. We want a huge amount of participation so that we will find the best possible name for the guild/trail/cooperative etc.


48 hours from now is when the competition will end, and we will choose the name we think is best. That person will be rewarded, and then immediately after, a second bounty will be made available for a logo design contest using the newly discovered name.


If you need more information before you're able to think of a good name, you can find out more about our intentions here.

This is fun!

Best there is... past, present and future! Ohhhhh yeahhhh!

Haha awesome!!!

So nearly there: Steemgold is the obvious choice: if a little too serious at the beginning, it could be lightened up with subheadings in the short-term, but then could switch back to mode:: solemn when the world has been conquered, the moon reached, universal adoption all but realised.

Oh that's very good! Unless people worked poo into the equation? Hmm, never underestimate the masses! Hehe!

I would have to go with the very first instinct that popped up when I read the intention of this guild:

REWARDIANS

It plays on the idea of rewards while keeping an eye on the guardianship of the guild toward the highest quality post rising the value of our platform.

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

We were having a crack at this the other night and before long it became a game of puns.

@benjojo, like it my friend.

Pinnacle - It will serve as a reminder that the guild will only upvote the very best posts.

My favourite so far. But, it won't just be my choice and there is bound to be a lot more to come. If that was your first go, I'd like to see more from you.
