Tell me, is egold == e-gold(R). How does one abbreviate "electronic gold" when one is not referring to a particular implementation of it?
That's not e-gold's problem, but the community seems to have settled upon "DGC." Whether this is a good thing or not doesn't matter here (at least the term DGC doesn't infringe on someone's property!!).
Right, e-gold is not simply an abbreviation of generic electronic gold. It is a specific trade name referring to a specific business.
You could use JP's term "Internet Gold" abbreviated IG. I know, "IG" is probably a little TOO abbreviated for your purposes -- no doubt you would like to spell out the word "gold." Maybe just use "digital gold" everywhere, it's short enough right? (And one char less than "internet gold.") Just drop the word "currency" and say "digital gold."
By the way, "igold.com" is an online jewelry shop, and "i-gold.com" is taken as a domain name but there's no web site there.
I thought maybe "d-gold" might be handy for digital gold, and here's something cute I never noticed before -- did you know that http://d-gold.com takes you to the PayByGold site? Cool!
