Yep - it's out of date, I was joking - but why not set a new target we can hope for?
m BTC 1 = $2 by 2013-12-31 23:59? Easy way to pronounce mbtc? "embit" "milli-bit" ? I like "embee" written as mB

Why aren't businesses adopting bitcoin payments like crazy? we really should start with this now. Amazon, get on with it. We have to make this sustainable and not reliable on the fragile human psychology.

Why not just mill or mills? Context would make it obvious that we mean mBTC.

This is the senior thread - if we find consensus and use it, we may have the honour of naming the mBTC for the world.
Embee / embit - best so far...
Any other nominations? After all, it is necessary if we want the masses 'in'.

Because its still actually shit as a simple currency. Check reddit story of guy who buys a burito and has to wait an hour for confirmations, ends up paying them fiat aswell just to get home.

"I just spent a couple of mill on a coffee" ? Has some connotations with larger amount ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

embee sounds nice but embit maintains a closer attachment to bitcoin because of the bit part.

Yeah - seems logical - anyone else... the chance to shape the name of the new basic denomination of BTC?

Hows about:
Bitcoin = Bits = 1 unit cents = cBits = 0.01 units millis or mills = mBits = 0.001 units micros or mics = μBits = 0.000001 units Satoshi or sats = 0.00000001 units nanos or nans = nBits = 0.000000001 units (for when 1 Bitcoin = 1 Mega dollar or BTC1 = M$1 = $1,000,000)
The logic being 100 cents in a Dollar/Euro but we don't say centidollar or centieuro, we just say cents.

embee sounds nice but embit maintains a closer attachment to bitcoin because of the bit part. You run a coffe shop - how you gonna price a coffee in Bitcoin... 'That'll be two embits, mate' Works for me - we can't have a string of zeros on the price list - it must happen, right?

This is my final post regarding my old man's trading. He has stopped selling and will instead start spending.
"The investment has paid off beyond anything I could imagine."
All prices in AUD.
Bought 1000BTC at ~$8
--Selling prices & volume Price BTC $102 100 $204 100 $305 100 $406 100 $520 50 $680 50 $730 50 $802 50 $917 50 $1,030 50
He currently has just under 300 BTC remaining.
Merchants, start your haggling!!!!

I never got why we actually have satoshis and not nanobits, the 64-bit signed integer is more than big enough to store >21M bitcoins even if it was divisible to nanos.

it is 22:10 and I am so excited that I cant go to sleep, tomorrow I have to wake up early but alot of things happening that I dont want to miss, Bitcoin over $1000 and Litecoin at $31.
I am a bit angry at my self though for doing many mistakes before, I sold so many coins.... if I just saw this coming, I thought it would take much time, but I see people having big interest and believing in the concept, even my ignorant co-worker is researching and asking me tens of question...

This has flawless logic, but I still wonder about that coffee being 'two mills' and we probably need the 'bit' in there to keep it connected to Bitcoin. So 'millibit', or back to 'embit' for me..
