Bitcoin Forum

When BitBean was first created, the base unit was named after nokat, the original developer, much like the bitcoin community named the satoshi after Satoshi Nakamoto.

Since "nokat" tried to dump all of his coins and crash the BitBean blockchain shortly after launching it, we believe the name for this unit should be changed.  To that end, we are asking the community to suggest appropriate names.

Some suggestions have been put forward:
        shawn - after the current lead developer who spends many uncompensated hours working on the project
        lentil - "because they are tiny beans"


Please help us add to this list, or add your support for the suggestions already submitted.

We will conduct a more formal poll later.

Navy bean , that being the smallest bean so I think it would go pretty good name for small amounts under 1 full bean..
Maybe it is stupid just throwing it out there

I think Beaner for smaller unit may sound nice for BEAN as larger unit.
Beanny could be another suggestion.

BitPea

I think go with the flow and choose beanoshi. I mean after all it is still mostly his code.

I like Beanny, it sound good to me.

pea

or

lentil

The correct word for any altcoin is a combination of the coin's name and satoshi.

So BitBeanToshi, or Beantoshi for short.

The idea here makes a lot of sense; it makes it easier for people to remember the name.

boshi

keep it simple keep it short

(why i still like 'pea' .. can shorthand to P)
then you're friends with me  ;D

LOL  ;D

We'll take all these suggestions and run them past our board and dev core.  The finalists will be posted in a community poll. 

We are continuing to take suggestions for a few more days.

A couple of suggestions that came to me by e-mail:

mung - "the smallest known bean"
adzuki - "in keeping with Japanese names, the red mung bean, the smallest of the mung beans"

I have not been able to confirm the claim that mung is the smallest bean*, but I have confirmed that lentils are not beans, as contended in the e-mail.

By the same token, peas are not beans, either.

So, I guess, we have to decide if we are going to stick with "beans" or open it up to any legumes, or do we drop the bean analogy and go with the traditional "--oshi"/"--toshi" naming convention.


*I have seen references to mung beans as "among the smallest beans in the world" on a few websites.

Since the logo has a bean being powered into flight by his own gaseous expulsions, maybe the smallest unit could be a fart, or fartoshi, or toot.  Ethereum isn't the only coin that runs on gas!

"Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind!"
"What do you run on, Rockette Morton?"
(say beans)
"I run on beans!"
(say laser beans)
"I run on laser beans."

Scam coin train wreck turned Community Take over ?
Niiiice.. my favorite scam LOL

How do we know he didn't just change his name ?

PS:
"Bit"

Duh  ::)

The kind of thing you'd expect to hear from someone with a negative trust rating...

I would imagine 'notwat' would be an appropriate label for this denomination.  :D

Not surprising coming from the scam supporter shill who posted this topic / advertisement in the first place..

Good luck with your "community take over"  :D

And give me back my BTC !

what are your other units called? i'm throwing down another vote for beanny, but beanie is a better spelling. my friend's daughter is called that but i never asked if that's her official name. i hope not.

1 FART

Okay, discussion closed.  These suggestions will be presented to the BOD and Dev Core, then we will start a formal poll from the finalists.
