0.0001 bitcoins is a pip.

Make that

1 bip

and I'll buy it.

(Pip is familiar to currency traders, but bip is a pleasant enhancement which fits bitcoin ideally.)

Following on from my prior suggestion of 1 Nakamoto :


1 Satoshi can be shortened to 1 Sat, then
1 Nakamoto can be shortened to 1 Nak.

So I also put forward "Nak"

1 botcoin
1 betcoin
1 batcoin

Provided I haven't missed a prior claim, these three can be yours.

"V"

coinWonder

1 chaum

So I also put forward "Nak"

Put all the names in the poll, if it is obvious then let the voting say so.

I'm sorry, but that's just not going to happen. Sad

If a different name becomes commonplace, I can't stop that, and I have no intention to try.

And of course, others can host their own contest.

But I have criteria that I'll be applying to the initial selection process, and I've provided said criteria... plus there are a few names that I'm just not going to give money for. The forewarned bias rears it's ugly head!

Just a few minutes, if anyone is contemplating last-minute suggestions.

I'll lock the thread shortly after time is up.

0.0001 BTC = Ittibit or IttiBit

Forgot to confirm this one, which seems valid enough.
