I was wracking my brain on a way to honor Hal, and this is the idea I came up with. I shared on Reddit, Twitter, and other places, but I thought I would share here too. I propose we rename 0.0000001 BTC as the Finney. Just as we honor Satoshi for 0.00000001.

Or using scientific notification:

1e-7 BTC = 1 finney
1e-8 BTC = 1 satoshi

You can see other comments/discussion on Reddit:

Not sure how something like this becomes official, but I guess if enough people use it, then it becomes part of the Bitcoin language.

If you are a fan of Bitcoins and Hockey, join my new Fantasy Hockey League : http://y.ahoo.it/2ZCmTb60. Plan is to add .01 BTC entry fee from each player so we can have great prizes. Draft will be Septemebr 14th at 2 pm EST

I wanted to know if there was an interest in having a Satoshi Square type meetup in Montreal. I was thinking of holding it at Victoria Square during a lunch hour, 12-2pm, during the work week. I am aiming for the last week of August. Please let me know here or this thread at the Canadian Bitcoin Community: https://www.coinforum.ca/discussion/290/satoshi-square-montreal if there is any interest....

I am thinking of creating an on boarding experience that makes it easy for Canadians to get into Bitcoins. i was thinking of offering something like even trade in Canadian Tire Money for Bitcoins of same value. I would limit to max of $5.00 to limit potential fraud.

How it works:  New Bitcoin users send up to 5.00 in Canadian Tire money, and email a photo proof from a post office receipt. Bitcoins would than be transferred into the account. Do you think their would be appetite for such an exchange? I think it would be a great way to help users in Canada get into Bitcoins and get rid of some drawer space.


If you are a Canuck, I'd love to hear your thoughts here or on coinforum.ca

Just wanted to say hello. This is my first post of many I hope.
Glad to be aboard
