Conversation would be: I've just bought a bit. A bit of what? No ... a bit. You mean 1/8 of a byte???

Alternative meanings hold no ground in the ever evolving constantly changing human languages. (just like bitcoin and everything else) Title: Re: Need to educate, time to sell bitcoins by the bit?

What? 0.00000001 is a satoshi a satoshi is 0.00000001 end of.. if you want to mention "bits" then make a bit 100 satoshis or 1000 or 10,000 satoshis. dont confuse people anymore by trying to rename something that has already been known and accepted by the major part and percentage of the community. i truly understand you one day want to have your 'famouss for 5 minutes' moment by being able to tell your grand kids that you named an certain volume of coin as a 'bit'. but please, dont reinvent the wheel and attempt to name it something else. choose another amount to be known as a bit Title: Re: Need to educate, time to sell bitcoins by the bit?

Bits is a good word, but we seem to start get some traction to use bits for 1 millionth of a bitcoin, ie 100 satoshis. If you are going to use the word, please use this convention, or people will just get even more confused. :) |
