    If all or most devs agree, I propose to use always Bitcoin (uppercase B) instead of bitcoin in strings used in the client. I'm fine with doing the pull that changes this!

    • Use Bitcoin (with a capital "B") when talking about the concept/technology.
    • Use bitcoins (no capitalization) when talking about the unit of currency (4 dollars - 4 bitcoins).

    That's a thing I like, you were talking about that I guess :)?
