Just don't make it the kabob. Too many lines.

I was down with the kabob. Only time I ever saw someone use a sats symbol it was the kabob.
reply
the kabob is indeed the most used sats symbol, but Bitkit and Coinos currently uses ⚡
reply
That's the lightning symbol.
reply
it's also the sats symbol in Bitkit and Coinos! some bitcoiners like this idea (see 1, 2, 3, 4).
reply
I get that they like it, but its the lightning network symbol. You see the lightning bolt, it means its lightning network combatable. If you used a lightning bolt, but wanted to accept payment outside of the lightning network, your user will be incredibly confused.
Now I get that's the idea, because "You only spend sats on lightning anyway", but in that sense its effectively not using a sats symbol at all, and that's why other sats symbol propositions can safely ignore it, because no one will recognize its supposed to be a sats symbol anyway.

agree, that's why we're removing it from Bitkit: https://x.com/bitkitwallet/status/1753468471185478139

indeeed! no symbol is kind of a symbol...
reply
at the end, the symbol must be accepted and implemented by the community else we can go searching for another one.
reply
true, the ultimate sats symbol will end up being whichever people decide to use!

I think ⚡ is fine, we could pretend it stands for proof of work, energy or electricity, bitcoin is closely related to all of them. Also, nothing is stopping future scaling solutions to choose names that hint back to this meaning.
reply
⚡ served Bitkit well so far, but it has many issues. here's why it's being removed: https://x.com/bitkitwallet/status/1753468471185478139

Yeah, i've read the thread, but i don't agree with bitkit.

that's so accurate 😂! but ironically, i think satsymbol.org reduces the number of standards, not increases...
