Let one ten thousandth of a bitcoin be 1/10000 b, where the unit of "b" uses lowercase since bitcoin is not a proper name, like h for hash instead of H for Hertz.  Then, 0.0001 b = 0.1 mb =  100 μb = 10 kiloSat, or say ".1 em-bee is 100 mu-bee is 10 kSa," if you like...or 10kS, i.e. 10 kSatoshi.

"bip" is a natural.

On itzod, where does an individual find the records referenced in your quote?  Are these numbers from your site?  Please, identify the source of these numbers 1378, 9870792, 1.07%, and 93.  

The difficulty changed on 21.12.2013.  For your computations did you use 908350862.4 or 707408283.1 as the difficulty?

Do you use the D1A in your computations?  

Everything going as usual. - Comment: Good
There far away from "bad luck" records - Comment:  What is a "bad luck" record?  "There far away" can be paraphrased to mean "Look over there," right?
(about 6 times longer than expected).  - Comment: What is the expected value?
Current round less than 4 times longer.  - Comment: Four times longer than what?
So, be optimistic. - Comment: This does not affect hashing.
In russian thread admin said, that all as usual.  - Comment: Situation Normal.

0.0001 bitcoins is a pip.

A consensus for the .0001 bitcoin, could evolve from the terminology around basis points.  Without adding any new nomenclature, a bitcoin moving one basis point moves 0.0001 bitcoin = 1 btc bp.  One basis point is a pip.  So, 1 bitcoin pip = 0.0001 btc = 1 btc pip = 1 btc basis point = 1 btc bps.  

One could consider names:

.0001 bitcoins = bitcoin pip
.0001 bitcoins = btc pip
.0001 bitcoins = bit pip

"Bitcoin pip" is not a new identifier since a pip is already defined as 1/100 of 1%, and "Bitcoin pip" describes a pip, not a type of bitcoin.  Besides, if "Bit pip" were to work as new nomenclature, then bp would be the abbreviation which already means basis point.  

That is the context for proposing that a 1 basis point move, a bitcoin pip, be called a pip bit = 1/100 of 1% of 1 bitcoin = 1 pbit = 1 pb .  

PS - How do I modify the site's spell checker to accept the word "bitcoin" as a correct spelling? (by modifying my browser's dictionary)

pip bit = 1/100 of 1% of 1 bitcoin = 1 pbit = 1 pb

This is my first post. 
My interest is building a Software Development Environment in c for a miner on a laptop. 

I currently have a PC at home:
Compiler:  I have run Visual Studio once and stepped into some code to validate the install. 
PC: Windows 7 x64
ASICs: one each 2.2 Gh/s Blue Fury and a 330 Mh/s Block Erupter that are mining 24/7. 
GPU:  The machine has an ATI 5450. 

Drivers:  Last year, OpenGL always bombed.  Last time I tried to clean the system of ATI drivers, I lost my internet and had to use a restore point.  I am not confident that my CPU is talking to my GPU.  I may never have talked to this card even though it was installed and catalyst runs and reports HW and SW.  In theory I am using AMD SDK 2.9 and  Catalyst 13.9 and OpenGL 6.14.10 .  I have not mined successfully with a CPU or GPU.

Code:    I am still reading code to decide what I will muck with first.  I think that BFGminer will be my focus and other open sources will contribute. 

That's my current status.  An ultimate goal is to monitor I/O traffic in a debug environment with a new machine.  Currently I cannot mine with my GPU on my old machine and am not monitoring traffic there.  So, while I spec my new machine, I will try to interface with the ASICs instead GPUs.  However this is not ideal since the ASICs are mining 24/7.  I would prefer to develop SW with slower mining assettes.

The Samsung computers:
NP700G7C-T02TH laptop uses an AMD Radeon HD7870G 2GB DDR5 card with 1 TB HDD while the
NP510R5E-S01TH laptop uses an AMD Radeon HD8750M 1 GB DDR3 card with 500 GB HDD.

I am building a SW development environment in ms visual c on a win 7 x64 PC to use on a laptop using win 8.1 pro x64.   Anybody ever develop mining code with Samsung machines on an AMD Radeon HD7870G or HD8750M?

What's the favorite programmer's editor these days?

Cheers.
