I'm sure that one day I will be able to buy a coffee for one Gavin, but in the meantime lets come up with something more memorable and meaningful than "100 microbitcoins". Here's my humble first draft. The above-one names will probably never be used, but it's still fun to have them named.
Denomination | Name | Legend |
21000000 | The Coinbase |
10000000 | Menger | Carl Menger, founder of the Austrian School of Economics |
1000000 | Nakamoto | possible number of BTC owned by SN |
100000 | Hayek | Nobel prize for contribution to the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle |
10000 | Pizza | first Bitcoin transaction - 10000BTC for a couple of pizzas |
1000 | Mises | In "Monetary Reconstruction" (1953) Ludwig von Mises argued for a fixed money supply |
100 | Milton | Milton Friedman proposed replacing the FED with a computer |
10 | Murray | Murray Rothbard argued for competing private currencies |
1 | Bitcoin |
0.1 | Finney | Hal Finney created the first reusable proof of work system |
0.01 | bitcent |
0.001 | milicoin |
0.0001 | Chaum | David Chaum - ecash |
0.00001 | Szabo | Nick Szabo - bitgold |
0.000001 | microcoin |
0.0000001 | Bit | Previously "Gavin" |
0.00000001 | Satoshi |
I couldn't fit Wei Dai or Adam Back, although it is possible that they're already on the list
Anybody else should/shouldn't be on the list? Perhaps fit them in place for mili- and micro- although those seem established by now.
