I think marketplace is already a territory.
reply
Damn true... thanks! Well, I made a nice Xmas gift to SN then :)
reply
I just meant the name. I don't think the territory owner has the same ambitions as you do. A little competition doesn't hurt anyway. I'm not suggesting you give up.
reply
I'll not ;) I'll keep the price low then and incentivize people to sell all the unwanted seasonal gifts in there
reply
how about bazaar? šŸ‘€
reply
I cannot add it as option on this pool but I think is a wining idea. Let's see how many comments this suggestion gets (if you - reader - like the Bazaar naming, please leave a +1 under this thread, so we can better understand what's the community would like to sell/buy items)
reply
Oooo that's spicy, I like that. More people I feel would understand what a bazaar is than an agora. SN Bazaar?
reply
Looking at the definition and etymology of the word, look's like a bazaar in East Asia is a sale where the money that is made goes to charity (not really the aim of this ~Agora). Especially in the Middle East, the Balkans, North Africa and South Asia the word had been generally used to define a marketplace usually consisting of multiple small stalls or shops. However, temporary open markets elsewhere, such as in the West, might also designate themselves as bazaars. The ones in the Middle East were traditionally located in vaulted or covered streets that had doors on each end and served as a city's central marketplace. Street markets are the European and North American equivalents.

yes, I saw this when checking all the marketplaces:) but I think SN has many advantages over them - the web of trust and feedback from brutally honest stackers, wild šŸ‘€
reply
Open Bazaar it's a really cool one! I really like it too. Do you have any references of what an open bazaar was?

The Alleyway
reply
this is another great one, thanks for sharing
reply
Curiosity also broth me to dive into the meaning of Alley or Alleyway a narrow lane, path, or passageway, often reserved for pedestrians, which usually runs between, behind, or within buildings in the older parts of towns and cities. It is also a rear access or service road, or a path, walk, or avenue in a park or garden. A covered alley or passageway, often with shops, may be called an arcade.
It looks to me to add the coziness and secrecy I'd like the ~Agora to have, but not exactly what has been designed to be :)
reply
Iā€™m afraid I got to reveal my ignorance and ask what Agora means haha
Voted for marketplace btw
reply
ahaha, no worries, you ca find the response here ;)
reply
Thanks for teaching me something new!
reply
Keep it as it is. If you continue to put the love and care into this space that you already have, that will be the reason for its growth. Not a name change. You chose that name because it meant something to you. Keeping it will translate into a greater feeling of satisfaction of your creation in the future, I think.
reply
I think everything else is exactly what Agora means. So, keep it that way.
reply
Thanks, I'll keep it only if the community is interested on using it. Otherwise, there's no meaning for the ~Agora to exist
reply
Agora is terrible name. Unless you tying to change the culture around selling things like eBay did. But most people will be confused about what Agora even means
reply
Thanks for your feedback. I know isn't immediate for a lot of people. It is for now just an idea, a test... and see what come out of it. btw, what will be your preferred alternative?
reply
Here is some other feedback: I think Agora is a great name even if I agree with @BlokchainB that most people will be confused about what it means.
But when they get it (which shouldn't take long), it's a name that sticks. And that's what matters more imo.
reply
I voted for marketplace. I think this is easy for people to see buying and selling takes place here. Maybe after saturation you can rebrand the territory
