Good idea.
How about BRC? Bitcoin Request for Comments? Otherwise I like the sound of BERs, but it doesn't matter too much the name. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gavin Andresen <gavinandre...@gmail.com> To: bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 6:57 PM Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] Bitcoin Enhancement Proposals (BEPS) New 'standard' transaction forms would be perfect candidates for BEPS. I think we aught to have a formal proposal to separate the protocol version from the client version, too. -- Does anybody besides me think maybe we should name them something other than "BEP" ? I'm worried we'll regret it in two years when a google for "BEP003" takes you to the BitTorrent EPs instead of the BitCoin EPs. Maybe "BIP" == Bitcoin Improvement Proposal or "PEB" == Proposal to Enhance Bitcoin or "BER" == Bitcoin Enhancement Request I think I like "BIP" (PEB sounds like a diet soda, and I don't know if BER should be pronounced "bear" or "beer"). I generally don't care about names, but it seems like a little planning now might save some confusion later. And I don't want the BitTorrent folks to get pissed off at us for 'stealing' their acronym, either. -- -- Gavin Andresen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
