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) |

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 |

Yep i had problem with it before also but after some time you get used to it, atleast i did with no problem  |
The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes. This is not paid AD!

I wish, the whole globe has to use bitcoin. All people must use the brain and some more kids would be better at school. |

yeah, but people should better use the brain and not a calculator... it's simple a move of a decimal place and nothing more but if someone is not sure, he can use a caltulator to get a feedback  |

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. |

0.00000001 ฿ = 1 Satoshi
0.00000100 ฿ = 1 μBTC (microbitcoin)
0.00100000 ฿ = 1 mBTC (millibitcoin)
0.01000000 ฿ = 1 cBTC (centibitcoin)
1.00000000 ฿ = 1 BTC (bitcoin)
Actully you just posted the units of BTC  unit conversion will be like this (below) 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 Let me try to explain even more in details BTC <-> satoshi, uBTC, mBTC, cBTC 1 BTC = 100000000 satoshi 1 BTC = 1000000 uBTC 1 BTC = 1000 mBTC 1 BTC = 100 cBTC (I never heard this unit) satoshi <-> BTC, uBTC, mBTC, cBTC 1 satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC 1 satoshi = 0.01 uBTC 1 satoshi = 0.00001 mBTC 1 satoshi = 0.000001 cBTC uBTC <-> satoshi, BTC, uBTC, mBTC, cBTC 1 uBTC = 100 satoshi 1 uBTC = 0.001 mBTC 1 uBTC = 0.0001 cBTC 1 uBTC = 0.000001 BTC mBTC <-> satoshi, uBTC, cBTC, mBTC 1 mBTC = 100000 satoshi 1 mBTC = 1000 uBTC 1 mBTC = 0.01 cBTC 1 mBTC = 0.001 BTC cBTC <-> satoshi, uBTC, mBTC, BTC 1 cBTC = 1000000 satoshi 1 cBTC = 10000 uBTC 1 cBTC = 10 mBTC 1 cBTC = 0.01 BTC ~Rude Boy |
