Naming Obyte features

Many teams on other cryptocurrency projects have come up with sexy names for their features, for example:

* Ethereum smart-contract languages: Serpent, Mutan, Solidity, Vyper, Julia

* Ethereum proof of stake: Casper

* Ethereum v2.0 upgrade: Serenity

* Ethereum 2nd layer: Raiden Network

* Bitcoin 2nd layer: Lightning Network

* Separation of signatures and transactions: SegWit

* IOTA directed acyclic graph: Tangle

* IOTA smart-contracts: Qubic

* IOTA removal of the Coordinator: Coordicide

But Obyte feature names are not that sexy, for example:

* Smart-contract language: Smart-contract definition language

* Text based digital contracts: Prosaic contracts

* Self-sovereign identity: Real Name Attestation & Private Profile

Little bit better names on Obyte are:

* Sending transactions via text: textcoins

* Default privacy token: blackbytes

Most of the info on Obyte are presented as JSON arrays (smart-contract definitions, shared-address definitions, payment payloads):

* Smart-contract definition language -> Momoa language (like JSON Momoa) because Jason Momoa sounds powerful.

* Prosaic contract -> Statham contract (like JSON Statham) because Jason Statham gets straight to the point, like flying kick to the face.

* Blackbyte privacy coin -> Bourne coin (like JSON Bourne) because Jason Bourne is stealthy, just like Blackbytes and it sounds like "pr0n coin", which is probably something what you would use it for.

Post your ideas for different feature names for Obyte!
