I started a topic here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=574782 about the using bitblah.com to convert BTC to other units. If you have any questions about converting between btc, mbtc, cbtc, ubtc and satoshi or if you find an issue let me know. I know it can be hard to convert between these units 0.00000001 ฿ = 1 Satoshi 0.00000100 ฿ = 1 μBTC (microbitcoin) 0.00100000 ฿ = 1 mBTC (millibitcoin) 0.01000000 ฿ = 1 cBTC (centibitcoin) 1.00000000 ฿ = 1 BTC (bitcoin)

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

isn't it a lot simpler to set it like this instead all those 0.0000 1 BTC = 100 000 000 Satoshis 1 BTC = 1000 mBTC (millibitcoin) 1 mBTC = 100,000 Satoshis 1 μBTC (microbitcoin) = 100 Satoshis

Standard metric prefixes folks. It's not exactly rocket science. Just move the decimal place around.

True. It is just like m (meter) cm (centimeter) and mm (millimeter).

I am not from US, so I don't know if it is true, or just stereotype.

yeah i used bitblah to convert it every time, usually when i claim faucet and giveaway, also in gambling there are so often satoshi used in faucet, and mBTC used in gambling. Making me confuse sometimes, so that site is really helpful and we rarely use microbitcoin and centibitcoin in bitcoin world. We often use bits for 100 satoshi instead microbitcoin

I'm horrible at math. Anything to do with numbers gives me problems. We are dealing with money here so I like a little help. I use this http://youmeandbtc.com/bitcoin-converter/convert-btc-mbtc-bits-satoshis-usd/And to be honest, the more I use it the better I get at moving the decimals (my main problem being; remembering the names of the different denominations!) Spellcheck has actually helped me learn to spell better, so hopefully these converters will teach me my btc denominations too.

I still don't get how people don't understand this yet. Even people that have degrees in science often have no idea how to go from um->mm->cm->m. It just baffles me. It's such a basic thing and you learn it in elementary school and it's reinforced in science classes every single year.

I have learned these btc values very quick as many members said in the thread,this is like converting meters to milimetres. I don`t think it takes more than few minutes to get used to them.

1 BTC = 1 mio bits. mainstream will never use 0.000326 BTC - thats crazy. big numbers are lot better when you use a currency like 20.000 bits = a coffee or something like that.

True. It is just like m (meter) cm (centimeter) and mm (millimeter). i think the problem is with americans, since they are not using the metric systtem as the rest of the world more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

using btc or satoshi is much easier to know how near or how far is the decimal point to reach 1 btc...

Dear All, to support the community in conversion of bitcoin units we had implemented a simple website CalcBitcoin. The new site should support you in any question regarding bitcoin units. Fit currencies as USD, EUR and CAD are supported, too. We are open and happy to get any feedback or requests to improve our service. The tognella.com team

The tognella.com team While I like what you did/attempted to do, I think things like dBTC and cBTC are only going to confuse people. Not to mention these have never been used (to my knowledge) in the Bitcoin world. You need to add "bits," too.
