Standardize on a name

[nfitch]

Here are some options:

1. Miner
2. Hammerhead
3. Minerhead
4. Mineadm
5. Mantrip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantrip)
6. Minetrip
7. Minecloud (cloudmine.me taken though... so probably not)
8. Minecrab

Others?

I'm partial to hammerhead because I came up with it, but it doesn’t really have anything that says “minecraft” Then again, none of the other names say anything that it’s a save/restore system, that it’s related to joyent or manta.

[mamash]

mcraft is an option, too.

[peteryorke]

And ramoray is already used, right?

Note: I deleted my comment that we'd go with "minerhead"... giving this a couple days for people to comment is a good thing, I think :)

Oh... hrm... Minetrip isn't bad. Added to the description.

[nfitch]

I think something in the name has to harken to something in minecraft, otherwise it's not going to stick. That's why I'm for things like "minerhead" and "minetrip" (over mantrip).

[trentm]

@nfitch I agree. It should have mine or craft in the name.

[notmatt]

"Where's your minecraft world, man?" "It's on..." :sunglasses: "...Cloud Mine"

Seriously. Sells itself.

[lderezinski]

+1 cloudmine

[pborenstein]

Dunno.

[trentm]

planetary resources? Screw mining the clouds. -> Space.

[nfitch]

Philip suggested minecrab. I've added that and minecloud to the suggestions. I don't think minecloud is a good idea... don't want to get people confused with some other person's thing.

[pborenstein]

minecloud already exists (https://github.com/toffer/minecloud) and does what we do, just not as well.

[nfitch]

Standardizing on 'minecrab'. The only downside is sounds like someone who has a cold saying "minecraft"... but, on the other hand, it's a minecraft-inspired sea creature!
