Name of this opening?

The move order and Black's response will determine how the opening is ECO-classified (1. a4 -> Ware, 1. b4 -> Sokolski, 1. d4 -> Queen's Pawn).

I don't know if the system itself has a name.

And I doubt that it is very useful. In the diagram, both a4 and b4 are hanging.. which means that most likely, White can't automove into this system anyways or he'll lose both of them (Black is very likely to play Nc6, e6/e5, d6/d5+Bd7 etc.).

If you want quick development of the two bishops to the a2 and a3 diagonals, why not play the Danish Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4 cxb2 5.Bx2) which loses two pawns as well, but as least your opponent will have to waste tempo with a lot of pawn moves and is behind in development.
Thanks for answer.

Heres a fresh game in UB i did with this opening.

It looks similar to the danish gambit but this is not a gambit.

The bishop on A2 can be sacrificed and when king recaps on F7 the queen can check him.

If bishop not being sacrificed it can be saved to double up with the queen to make a checkmate just like in the london system.

The A and B pawn are not hanging, you can link them with the C pawn.
Anything with some kind of surprise effect works in ultrabullet, but that provides no evidence about the soundness of an opening. You simply got lucky that your opponent didn't pick off your pawns right from move 3 forward (3...Bxe4, 4...Nxb4, 5...N/Bxb4, 6...Nxb5) and you won by timeout in the end (in a hopeless position).
Yeas true words, but that is the charm with ultrabullet :).
A queen check alone is not enough to justify a Bxf7 sacrifice.

And yes, you could defend the a and b pawns by c3, but they hang until you do. And by that move, you box in your dark squared bishop. Not to mention that you rather need the tempo to start developing that g1 knight if you ever want to mate on f7 after the bishop sacrifice.
This brings wood-pushing to new heights, I mean, velocities.

I think this system falls under the well-known "ultrabullet opening" umbrella, along with such ideas as 1. d4 2. Bh6 and 1. h4 2. h5.

Tip : It seems you lose many games on time, so maybe you should play faster. Bc4 and Ba2 require long-range hand movements and move your cursor far from most of your pieces. I suggest playing less time-expensive moves, for instance e3, Be2, Bf3, and Ne2.
