RE: My First STEEMBAY Auction [New Drawing]
Yes! I'm also pretty much amazed, how this is picking up pace :-) A steembay-app would make it just perfect.

Totally agree though I'm currently encouraging people to think bigger with their naming conventions. Steembay is too limiting, now "dbay" on the other hand ... ;)
Good point. Using the word "bay" in any auction related service might cause some legal issues. The guys creating "openbazaar" did quite well in creating a brand. Maybe something like "auct-chain" will do ;-)
"bay" is a word, you can't trademark it. No one uses openbazaar and auct-chain is again too niche. "dbay" is how I would go. It piggybacks off of their brand without violating their IP.
Appreciate your feedback on this and I'm not a lawyer, but doing a quick research on "Trademark Laws" tells me, that I should avoid choosing a name which is too similar to an existing brand.
