Who started calling it a "satoshi"?

[Peter Lambert]

Does anybody know the history behind using the term "satoshi" as the atomic unit for bitcoins?

Anyway, what's the plan for subdividing bitcoins? Do we go in thousands like the metric system (millibits, microbits, nanobits)?
Or do we have names for subdivisions? A hundredth of a bitcoin could be a Satoshi, a thousandth of that could be a Molyneau, and a thousandth of that could be an Austrian.

Let's consider the long-term, where we will need a smaller unit. I think it's best to have a separate name for this, rather than messing with long decimals like 0.00000247. For the purpose of this discussion, suppose a millionth of a bitcoin is called a satoshi.

That is a good question, how did Satoshi refer to these units? I beleive he was gone (or at least using a different name) by the time the term satoshi caught on for the smallest bitcoin units.

They're not referred to by any special name in the code that Satoshi wrote. Satoshi never used the term.

0.001 btc is referred to as a millibit and abbreviated mB.

I think it could be called a centi-bitcoin. Because 0.001 is a milli Bitcoin so 0.01 is a so called 'cent'

I just call them cents in the context of Bitcoin; out of context, I call them bitcents.
