Runoff Poll: "ubit" vs "centoshi". Which should be the rival to "bit"?

You sir, are a genius.

This is silly.

None of the polls have enough participants to be relevant, and none of the options that I'm willing to accept are even offered as choices.  You can hold all the obscure polls you want with 100 to 200 participants.  It won't matter.  In the end, language develops organically, and people will use whatever they want regardless of what your poll decides.

 

This.

This.

This.

You can't decide to call something a certain name by a ridiculous poll. If it doesn't happen organically you can't force names on things.
Just because 200 people are OK with starting to call goats "hurberburber", they'd still have to explain that it means goat whenever using the word speaking to someone.

well its wierd you say that, because hamburgers contain no pork.. they should be called beefburgers, yet it only took 1 merchant to start the craze off, and we are now stuck with it.

this is why i dont like centoshi.. because it should be hectoshi as the denominational naming list.

over all if you look at all of the different polls, bit always get highest vote and least hated, in comparison to other individual choices.. so businesses see that as the preference. hense why businesses are now using it

It's mtb, milibtc and bits.. give up that is what it is now.

To be honest, the term "bit" gave me the shits when I first heard of it(and kept hearing about it)

I'm warming to it.

Talk about fighting a losing lost battle.

ubit - (confusingly pronounced both 'mubit' and 'youbit') would quickly get shortened to 'bit' in common usage anyway, so you may as well go straight to bit, as indeed everyone seems to be doing

and centoshi, who knows wtf that is

centoshi is a hundredth of a satoshi.. definitely not 100 satoshi

[bitfreak!]

It's microbit. End of story.

cBTC = bitcent = 0.01 BTC
mBTC = millibit = 0.001 BTC
uBTC = microbit = 0.000001 BTC

microbits are too small, not needed yet

What does that have to do with anything? This thread is about what to call 100 satoshis (aka 0.000001 BTC). Microbit is the most organic and technically correct term I've seen so far. It's also the accepted term according to the wiki.

0.01 BTC = 1 cBTC = 1 centibitcoin (also referred to as bitcent)
0.001 BTC = 1 mBTC = 1 millibitcoin (also referred to as mbit or millibit)
0.000001 BTC = 1 μBTC = 1 microbitcoin (also referred to as ubit or microbit)

PS - 'Bit" is a ridiculous term for 1 μBTC because it has no relevance. If anything bit should be another term for satoshi.

[bitcoinforhelp]

none of the above, they are worse

Good to know we have some neurotic aggravating senseless poll going.  I was getting concerned.  Seriously, we have bigger concerns than this psychotic horseshit.

we know the technical terms; the whole idea is find non-technical terms.

Microbitcoin is the full technical term, microbit is the shorter casual version. There's no need for anything else.

Yeah microbit isn't too bad, but it's about more than simply casual versions of existing technical terms.

It does away - from a UX perspective - with centi, milli, and micro, and proposes using natural (or counting) numbers: 500 bits, 5,000 bits, 100,000 bits.

It's about changing to a 'normalised' currency format that most people will readily understand.

If you are thinking something different won't come up, you are quite wrong.

Anything other than microbitcoin is seriously misguided. Microbitcoin is the logical choice.

Centoshi is ridiculous and doesn't even make sense at all.

Bits is bad too. Should have simply been ubits.

Because it is the logical choice it's the one being used. No forum poll will change that. These posts are useless.
