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

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

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 |

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) its nowdays so simple for me to count these coins as i always use the satoshi unit as if i need to convert 0.001btc into satoshi so i will simply say it as 1lakh satoshi as in this way i get used to it.and btw nowdays we don't have to even count it by ourself insted our wallets already shows us how much it is and what is the value of it in the faint currency |

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

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. |
