Just a heads up, I've been having some database problems, the site has been up and down over the past 12 hours, I expect to have it resolved in tne next 2-4 hours. 

We can use this thread for other issues related to Bitcoin Bonus moving forward.

So now that prices have risen and transaction amounts will be smaller in numerical value for exchanges,
I feel we need to have a word for 0.001 of a Bitcoin.    Bitcent, BitNick and BitDime  work well for 0.01, 0.05 and 0.10 BTC, respectively,
but what should we call a milli-Bitcoin  ?

I've been thinking a little.   I tried saying Milli-Bitcoin really fast a few times (ok it was more than a few)
and came up with   Milbice  -- or perhaps we just call it a "Bice"

Then I thought how its nice in numismatics for money to have a cultural identity,
perhaps we should call 0.001 BTC a "Sat" or a "Nak" in honour of Satoshi Nakamoto

Then we could call a micro BTC a "Gav" (for Gavin!)  

Anyhow I need a name to use for some upcoming Bonus Programs.  

What do you think should be the name?  Bitcoin Bonus will send 5 Bitcoins to the person who is the first to submit the winning term
which will be what we end up choosing to use for our site.  We'll issue a full report of all the terms submitted and the number of votes they received.  Multiple entries permitted (each must have a different term per person), submit any term you'd feel comfortable using.

Submit your entries here


Once you've submitted your idea, I'd encourage you to announce it here and encourage others to vote for it at Bitcoin Bonus.
Wining term and winner to be announced by Sunday, May 22nd here!

For now we are meeting at North Side Social in Arlington, near the Clarendon metro on the Orange Line.

Venmo is a new payment solution that has a lot of nice features if you're working with dollars. Their tagline is
"It's like your phone and your wallet had a beautiful baby."  I think a lot of people
who use bitcoin will also be interested in using Venmo.

When you sign up for Venmo, you'll get a dollar from them.  If you also have an account on Bitcoin Bonus, I'll
send you 50 cents USD  for signing up using my referral link.  

In order to receive your bonus, you need to claim your bonus at http://bitcoinbonus.com/venmo.  This involves entering your Venmo username in the form.
Also, you'll need to fully complete your profile at Venmo for them to count this as a successful signup.
