Hrm, thats kinda wierd that the 1 Satoshi = 10nbtc

makes for awkward math.  

Example,

I want to sell you something for 473 Satoshi... Quick, how many nbtc is that?  How many Dollars is that?



I hereby propose that 1 Satoshi = 1 STH

The current exchange rate as of writing this post is:

2,104,244 STH = $1

Multiplying by 10 is awkward?

Example,

I want to sell you something for 473 Satoshi... Quick, how many nbtc is that?

Put a zero on the end of it.
4,730 nBTC.  Seems extremely fast and easy, no?

How many Dollars is that?

Depends on the exchange rate on that day (You're going to have the same problem if you use "STH").
Assuming an exchange rate of $47.523, you simply multiply the exchange rate by the price and move the decimal place, right?

4,730 nBTC x $47.523 = 224,783.79 move decimal 9 places to the left = $0.00022478379, right?

I hereby propose that 1 Satoshi = 1 STH

The current exchange rate as of writing this post is:

2,104,244 STH = $1

Or . . .

21,042,440 nBTC = $1

apparently adding a zero and not simplifying 1 satoshi to 1 unit of currency is a bad idea.

Was someone trying to imply that Satoshi is not a "10" !?!

Well okay, maybe someone is not a "true believer".

But if someone is trying to suggest Satoshi be a "1", shock gasp isn't that more like heresy or something?

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

A satoshi is so tiny that if you abbreviate It, It disapears!

Sati sounds ok, Shi sounds better. But I didn't check the meaning of either in all world languages

I am selling in stock OneStringMiner boards, based on the Bitfury chips. Have a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.0

I use ¤ at Free.BTC.pt
I read somewhere that ¤ is the general symbol for currency unit, or something like that, and I liked it

What about just s?

The most intuitive answer would be a lower case "s" with a line through it, like ¢ for cent. So basically a smaller dollar sign.

That will be fine as long as one Satoshi is smaller than one dollar...
