how long till 1mBTC = 1USD?
also what will you think of fees then?
edit SI units
m = milli, = 1/1000 = 10^-3 = 0.001
u = mirco= 1/1000000 = 10^-6 =0.0000001
n = nano = 1/1000000000 = 10^-9 = 0.0000000001
edit 2
mili = 1/1000 => 0.001
1l = 1000 ml -> 1 ml = 0.001 l
1m = 1000 mm -> 1 mm = 0.001 m
1 BTC = 1000 mBTC -> 1 mBTC = 0.001 BTC
its very very common, and internationally recognised SI unit. You know, milli meter, microscope, nanotech/ nano meter.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Agreed, is it 1 Million or 1 Millionth of a BTC?
My guess? it is 1 millionth, i.e. 0.0000001

It's 1 thousandth of a bitcoin or .001 bitcoins. how long till 1mBTC = 1USD?

I'd say it could be this year if those paypal/western union rumors pan out. |

People who use the metric system don't have any problems. 1 millimeter = .001 meters. |

Its the SI standard prefix for 1/1000. Think mm (millimeters, 0.001m) or ml (millilitres, 0.001L)

Not only is mBTC (or BTM if ya must) workable, I think it's essential to adoption. Noobs could be put off by the "prohibitive expense" of "$1000 coins", but $1/mBTC doesn't look so insurmountable.
Above $250/BTC I shall (once again!) set Bitcoin-Qt to default to mBTC display/operation, and I think this needs to be more widely encouraged, possibly including at the major bitcoin exchange sites.

I busted out laughing reading this thread. Agreed, is it 1 Million or 1 Millionth of a BTC?
My guess? it is 1 millionth, i.e. 0.0000001
1 million bitcoins is MBTC and 1 millionth is uBTC. Also .0000001 is not either and is actually one ten-millionth of a BTC. It's 1 thousandth of a bitcoin or .0001 bitcoins.
You're right it is 1 thousandth however .0001 is not 1 thousandth but 1 ten-thousandth. |

Some peeps just have issues with fractions and floating points. Repeat after me: point double zero one, point triple zero one, point quadruple zero one...mBTC and then µBTC and satoshi are surely the future - assuming bitcoin does not fail. |

Maybe we should split the bitcoins in inches or feet? Hardly anyone in the world is using the metric system, right...?

1 milliBTC = 0.001BTC?
Not so long I guess, since 1BTC is over $100 now.

1 mBTC = 1 milibitcoin = .0001 bitcoins
Note there are three 0s, the metric system goes in threes. I can't believe how dumb most people are at this!
1 mBTC is about $0.13 now. I'll change to mBTC when were half way, when ($1000 - $1)/2 = $499.
