Your website name is hard to remember. Get a .com domain with a decent name: http://www.paulgraham.com/name.html
Btw., we aim for culturally-neutral domain name. Thing like oo.io would be great, but it is already taken.
Ain't no such thing. You're using Roman alphabet, that traditional tool of white dead male imperialist aggressors!
Now, if you manage to do a domain name consisting of a some letters from a Roman alphabet, some from Cyrillic, some from Devanagari, some from Hangul, etc., that would actually be fairly impressive. Unusable, but impressive :-)
Well, I like the Ethereum ÐΞV, or ∀∃∞.
infty seems to me very strongly culture driven. You likely need to spell it out for most people to remember.
In general it's better to optimize for effectiveness than to try do everything and the kitchen sink.
infty is not an English word, it is just a sequence of latin symbols, which are used in mathematical (LaTeX) texts to write lemniscate, meaning infinity, which is a mathematical concept.
If you come up with interesting truly culturally neutral name though, I'd love to know :)
It's an abbreviation of the English infinity and most people won't easily grasp it. Companies like Amazon and Google on the other hand have names that are a lot more neutral.
What do you mean by "neutral"? Odds are you wouldn't have found the name "Google" neutral if you had just heard it for the first time.
Google isn't a word that's English and many languages have phonetic systems that allow such a name.
I spent a long time associating Amazon with "something in South America, so it's probably not accessible to me" before the company was as ultra-famous as it is now.
. infinite love, .. long-term strategy, ... cultural neutrality.
