The last leg of the contest to propose a name for the 0.0001 BTC unit is now underway. Details follow...
Please read carefully:The four highest-voted names from the prior poll are up for voting. You only get one vote, and again,
your vote cannot be changed. At the end of the voting period, the highest-voted name will be declared the winner, and the submitter will be contacted to receive their 0.1 BTC prize.
In the interest of time, the voting period will be roughly 48 hours.
The voting on this poll will be closed at 23:59:59 CST on Friday night, January 10.It's otherwise pretty straightforward, but anyone interested can review the
original thread and the
first poll.
For those curious about each name's origins:
bip - This name stems from the financial term "
basis point". With a bp being 1/100 of 1%, numerically it works out to the same fractional amount, even though it has a different meaning.
bit - The original monetary
bit referred to an amount commonly used in the colonial U.S., specifically 12.5 cents (1/8 of a Spanish dollar from the era.)
finney - This name was suggested in honor of Hal Finney, whose noteworthiness with regards to his contributions to Bitcoin and cryptography in general can be explored in
this thread (and is summarized in his
wikipedia page.)
nakamoto - Obviously a complementary name to "satoshi."
With that, the final poll of this contest begins; vote away, and again, may the best name win!
