[brainstorm then a vote] Nickname mBTC!

[amincd]

Millicoin, woolong.

[DannyHamilton]

I'd be pretty accepting of any of the following:

• millitbitcoin
• millibit
• milly
• milli
• mils
• mil
• mb (pronounced em-bee)
• thousandths

[spiral_mind]

Lets call mBTC "credits" like in sci-fi movies.

Lets call mBTC "credits" like in sci-fi movies.

I always liked "credits". Would have been a good name for Bitcoin in the first place. But perhaps credit is better for microbitcoins, as a currency of the far future when 1 BTC = $1 million then 1 credit would have the buying power of $1 today.

if mBTC's are going to be the denomination used in everyday commerce, it would be a dire hinderance to mass adoption to call them any of the metric-derived proposed names.

Branding.  Branding.  Branding.  Branding.  

"bit"

ƀ100.00 = 0.1 BTC

1000 bits in a bitcoin.

[DoomDumas]

millibit

+1

plain and simple short for millibitcoin !

[MWNinja]

I was thinking millibit before I even opened the thread, and that appears to be the general consensus (well at least amongst the few of us commenting).

[marhjan]

It's a bitmill or btm - has been since April 2011 or so - stop trying to reinvent the wheel.  If you want to use mBTC fine - but i'll always call it a bitmill and use btm to abbreviate.

That said - yes it's a bitmill to me - but I really don't think it matters all that much and am constantly astounded by how many times the exact same things get discussed on this forum.

Micro-Bitcoin

No - Micro indicates 10^-6

Q:  Which of the following sounds better to the AVERAGE person:

Your meal comes to 2.5 ________.  

a)  bitmills
b)  millibitcoins
c)  millibits
d)  "m.b.t.c's"
e)  bits

Yes, a subjective question, but I think it's safe to assume a poll of the general population would show a preference for "bits" 9 out of 10 times - possibly more.

Well, in my opinion, c. "Bits" would sound good, but it's already taken as a commonly used term in technology.

[rikur]

A bit silly question, but how about mbit or mb?

[solex]

Another word is "mils" which has been used in several countries where the main currency unit was divided into thousandths. A one syllable word is most likely to gain common usage.

1000 bits in a bitcoin.

I don't know if I agree, but that's a good argument +1

[BitBank]

A one syllable word is most likely to gain common usage.

100% agreed.  Off the top of my head, I can't think of any currency, denomination, or denomination nickname which contains more than 2 syllables.  Dollar, buck, cent, pence, pound, yuan, yen, franc, euro, ruble, peso, bitcoin .... "bit"
