*Burner wallet* and naming

[drhus]

I personally like Burner Wallet name but I've learned the hard way to look at things through the eyes of the audience

the Q. is how "burner wallet" as a name would convey a user-friendly, seamless, trustworthy experience? do you wanna consider something else? maybe

• Web wallet
• Flat wallet, feeless wallet
• IO Wallet
• or Instant Wallet << my favorite

This should be an open discussion and I'd love to hear more from the community.

The reason we chose "burner" was it is a little scary and that is the point.

We want the user to understand it is ephemeral and they should be a little bit afraid of that... understanding that they could lose the value backed by the PK.

w/ auto-refund #18 after a certain time elapsed the chances that the burner wallet would actually burn would approach zero :p

• Temporary Wallet
• To-Go Wallet
• Go wallet
• On-the-go wallet
• Snap-wallet 👌 "here and gone in a snap!"

Crypto Cash wallet - Relating to cash might be best to describe the features of the wallet for a non-crypto user.

• One-Off Wallet
• Quick Card
• Web Wallet
• Web Cred(it)

Go Wallet +1

Snap is no good because it could be confused with SnapChat. You'll get in legal trouble.

I would also suggest "Change" wallet. That has several dimensions of interpretability (e.g. "change your wallet" and "wallet for pocket change").

I think a rebranding is highly desirable and would go a long way towards helping Burner Wallet reach a larger audience. I think a project like this could easily be a mainstream service with global reach. But it needs to be rebranded to a more friendly name. "Burner Wallet" is too aggressive and far to associated with criminals.

Fanny packs are a fun place to keep a little bit of change when you're on-the-go.

As a heads up 'fanny' has quite a different meaning here in the UK. Personally I actually like Burner Wallet.

I asked a dozen people yesterday during a meetup :

1. People are fine with "Burner Wallet"

2. Instant Wallet is also appreciated

@austintgriffith, nice talking to you yesterday. Naming things is one of my favorite things, so here's my suggestion:

Flash Pay

Rationale:

• It still retains a bit of the "burner"/fire concept. Current art can hold for now.
• It also suggests "fast" and "quick" and not meant for large sums.
• The name should be usable as a verb, like "Venmo it to me" => "FlashPay me", "Flash me some xdai", etc
• Possible variants: Flash Wallet, FlashPay Wallet

Edit: A quick google search found this: https://www.netspend.com/flashpay/
