So now that prices have risen and transaction amounts will be smaller in numerical value for exchanges, I feel we need to have a word for 0.001 of a Bitcoin. Bitcent, BitNick and BitDime work well for 0.01, 0.05 and 0.10 BTC, respectively, but what should we call a milli-Bitcoin ? I've been thinking a little. I tried saying Milli-Bitcoin really fast a few times (ok it was more than a few) and came up with Milbice -- or perhaps we just call it a "Bice" Then I thought how its nice in numismatics for money to have a cultural identity, perhaps we should call 0.001 BTC a "Sat" or a "Nak" in honour of Satoshi Nakamoto Then we could call a micro BTC a "Gav" (for Gavin!) Anyhow I need a name to use for some upcoming Bonus Programs. What do you think should be the name? Bitcoin Bonus will send 5 Bitcoins to the person who is the first to submit the winning term which will be what we end up choosing to use for our site. We'll issue a full report of all the terms submitted and the number of votes they received. Multiple entries permitted (each must have a different term per person), submit any term you'd feel comfortable using. Submit your entries here
Once you've submitted your idea, I'd encourage you to announce it here and encourage others to vote for it at Bitcoin Bonus. Wining term and winner to be announced by Sunday, May 22nd here! --Darrell

How about just a Bit?
EDIT: to also propose the suggestion Bbit (pronounce "bee bit") and to second the suggestion of bitbit.
And just a random suggestion, perhaps the new unit name should belong to the 0.0001 denomination (cent of a cent). We'll go through fewer names that way, less confusion. The most useful significant digits will all remain near the decimal point (four to the left, four to the right of it), it could be the only new name we ever need.
I am not sure that SI patterns or prefixes are the way to go. I occasionally use SI in regular speech just to be geeky (example, I like to say 5 "kilodollars" instead of 5 "grand"), and people look at me like I'm nuts and often don't even know what I mean, even though it should be obvious. No one seems to expect to see money measured like kilograms or millimeters.
Beyond the currently accepted "satoshi", I don't feel fond of honorary names ("gav" etc.), these seem like they could be a turnoff.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

I always liked btch (h == hecto)
h on the end becasue it is sub hecto, h in the front would imply a hecto of them.
1 btch == 00.001 btc 1 hbtc == 100 btc
Make sense?
kilo is next up the ladder from hecto so...
1btck == 00.0001 btc
For some reason I don't like the sound of milli bitcoin.

Another idea to give names basing on how many times you have to divide Bitcoin by 10:
1 Bitcoin = Bitcoin 1/10/10 = 0.01 Bitcoin = Dibit 1/10/10/10 = 0.001 Bitcoin = Tribit
Use greek prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca

The problem is that none of us probably have enough influence to get a unique name like 'Gav' to really catch on (unless it was especially catchy), so it would have to be immediately intuitive to anyone who saw it that you mean 0.001 Bitcoins. Using milli- is the most obvious, but milliBitcoins doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I would recommend shortening it to something like "mCoins", and then abbreviate as mBTC until perhaps mC catches on. But, that's just my two Bitcents. Someone will probably have a better idea and we'll end up using that instead.

Why use the confusing term credits? Facebook uses that term already, as do many others. Satoshis aren't used anywhere else. I could see that term becoming more widely used. The equivalent to a $9.75 USD online purchase of a movie ticket would be 114.7 mSats (megasatoshis) (at today's BTC/USD exchange rate of $8.50) To send a micropayment to a blogger using YouTipIt, for instance, 3 msats (worth just about $0.25 USD) After some more bitcoin deflation, micropayments will be priced in terms of hundreds of kSats (kilosatoshis) while more significant amounts still can use mSats. That could work!

.001 or .0001 BTC could be empowering.
I resist a psychological argument for any changes in bitcoin. Most of the time such are proposed by elitists who wish to insult the community by suggesting that there is no self-motivation (MOJO) in the culture or the community.
A small contribution can be amplified if others feel little resistance to contributing in small amounts.

I submitted Bit-Tot. That'll be 845 bit-tots , or 845 btt.
In case you don't like the hyphen, I also submitted bitbit. 845 bb.
They both have the advantage of sounding like toddler food or baby dinosaurs. Which implies that real men only play with real btc (jk).
edit: now I have decided the tidbit is my main entry.

Why not let a thousandth of a Bitcoin be one Mill? Then 'Millies' can be the informal form.

I think creating names for 0.001, 0.00001, etc. is silly. Just use two different units BTC and something like satoshi/bitcoinunits/bitcreds/credits representing 0.00000001 BTC. The problem with milli/micro/nano is that when you get a bitcoin amount like 0.00245678, what random btc name do you use..?
Also it's a LOT easier to tell the size of something when it's larger because of commas and no leading zeros: eg 34,400 BCU vs 0.00034400 BTC

I think that the best way to give .001 bitcoins a name is to call it a bitmill. People say abbreviate bitcoin as BTC, so similarly, a bitmill will be abbreviated as BTM.
One dime could be .1 BTC but .09 bitcoins could be called 90 BTM or .09 BTC.
In a summery, people should name things as bitcoins or bitmills, no bitcents (since BTC could stand for bitcoin or bitcent). Bitmills could be abbreviated as BTM.

I really like this one - it follows a set pattern and is easily memorable. Additionally, it means we won't have this debate every time a decimal point moves... Definitely my vote!

Millie for .001 is the winner, imo. May I propose 'milray' for .0001? Mark Twain introduced a fictional elaboration of the mill in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. When Hank Morgan, the American time traveler, introduces decimal currency to Arthurian Britain, he has it denominated in cents, mills, and "milrays", or tenths of a mill (the name perhaps suggested by "myriad", meaning ten thousand or by the Portuguese and Brazilian milreis). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_%28currency%29#Fiction12GHuMPPZDxDqtZZS6wP2FTv2c4V4KPohW

This is a better suggestion, further, nobody wants to change what they are talking about every 10x. We're all used to changing every three 0's (eg, one thousand - 1,000, one million 1,000,000). I would take the OP's logic and build from the base like you. 1 bit 100 dibit 1,000 tribit 1,000,000 hexabit 1,000,000,000 nonabit This also loses the decimal completely, not sure why it's even used.

I had one more random idea: CUBE.
Acronym for Convenient Unit of Bitcoin Exchange, but just written cube.
Just think of the Bitcoin logo on a golden cube. Think of a stack or pile of such cubes, sized like dice. Lots of image possibilities and it doesn't sound weird. Also connotes a small tangible object just like a coin. A currency symbol (sort of like dollar's ¢) could be based upon a superscripted 3 with a vertical line. It might be called a cube or bitcube interchangeably.
If this gets liked and gets any traction I would strongly propose it refer to 0.0001 BTC not 0.001 BTC or we will be starting a trend of needing names for all 8 decimal places, messy as pre-decimalisation GBP. I would rather see it be one name at 4th decimal place so we may never need another name.

In many fiat currencies, a particular denomination of note displays a particular important figure, with the lower the value (and therefore the most commonly used note) is the most important person. Of course, these people are usually already dead, and as far as we know all of the important persons surrounding Bitcoin are not. But since Satoshi is IMHO the most important person, and Gavin is very close these days; .000001 bitcoin should be a Satoshi and .001 should be a Gavin. There should not be a name for a bitcoin denomination beyond the sixth decimal place.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

I kind of like the idea of "mick" with no 's' as in:
"Hey, can you loan me 50 mick?" "Apples are on for mick and half at the grocer." "Hey, you still owe me a mick for the last time you bet me BitCoin wouldn't double again."
'Mick' being of course short for "millicoin" which in formal settings is much less of a mouthful than "millibitcoin". It would have an easy and natural abbreviation (mC) and would also provide a standard format for future extension ("nick" for nanocoin "pick" for picocoin etc.). Plus, it's fun to use! 200 mick says this option is the one that gets chosen.

If you found my post helpful, feel free to send a small tip to 1QGukeKbBQbXHtV6LgkQa977LJ3YHXXW8B Visit the BitCoin Q&A Site to ask questions or share knowledge. 0.009 BTC too confusing?

1 satoshi = 1e-9 BTC (since it/he doesn't really exist)
0.001 BTC = 1e-3 BTC = = 1 millibitcoin = 1 million satoshi = 1 mill
I propose "1 mill"
we can have two camps one going to the left of the decimal, the other to the right and things can be thoroughly confused (and conflict with abbreviated millilitres and milligrams) but they will both agree on the mill.

Bitcent, BitNick and BitDime work well for 0.01, 0.05 and 0.10 BTC, respectively, but what should we call a milli-Bitcoin ?
I need a name to use for some upcoming Bonus Programs.

I like using the slang of "millies" and "mikes" for the more formal "millibits" and "microbits", respectively.
These names are very easy to remember, for those of us that understand that 1 milli = 1e-3 and 1 micro = 1e-6. Certainly almost everyone on this forum is going to intuitively grok that nomenclature. It also gives me the mental picture of a bill with a face printed on it, in the same way that the term "Benjamin" refers to a $100 bill.
[Edited]Also, it appears that we already have general consensus that 0.00000001 BTC = 1 satoshi.

mBTC is fine for .001btc for the moment, trades on exchanges should probably remain denominated in BTC for the near and medium terms.
Reasons "credit" is better than "satoshi": -It's only two syllables and scales well with SI prefixes (kilocred, megacred [.01btc], gigacred [10btc], etc) -Universally accepted in sci-fi culture as 'money of the future' -The name itself implies value -It's two syllables

I don't like "credit". Bitcoin is not based on credits. Bitcoin by design promotes savings over credits. "Credit" sounds like world government fiat inflating money not voluntary "anarchistic" P2P currency. I find "it's described as 'money of the future'" argument ridiculous. Sci-fi literature with "credits" usually describes future that I wouldn't want to live in (all powerful worldwide/space government and corporations). The fact that it's universally accepted in sci-fi culture almost looks like some Keynesian conspiracy I vote NO to any "credit" connection. If I would have to use something "futuristic" Crypto would be better in my opinion. But I think Satoshi is good name.

Another idea to give names basing on how many times you have to divide Bitcoin by 10:
1 Bitcoin = Bitcoin 1/10/10 = 0.01 Bitcoin = Dibit 1/10/10/10 = 0.001 Bitcoin = Tribit
Use greek prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca
Use greek prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca
I like this. I also like the idea prefixing the amount with the number of leading zeros so there is no doubt: .0001 = 3฿1 .0000023 = 5฿23

generally coinage is counted in double digit or tripple digit groups.. 99 cents, 50grand, so forth.. milli is essentially a penni-dime or .0010 its a sensical way to do it mathmatically, but in currency, you want .00,00,00 or .000,000 I think this is more the fundamental thing we need to think about.

It would be downright foolish not to just use SI units. People can cope.
I agree with you, which is actually why I'm so vociferous about this. I kinda wish one "bitcoin" was defined as 10e9 satoshis, since it would have made 1 satoshi = 1 nanobitcoin. Currently, 1 BTC = 1000 mBTC, 1mBTC = 1000 uBTC, 1uBTC = 100 satoshi/credits. The SI prefixes working upwards, e.g. 'kCredits' and the SI prefixes working down, e.g. 'mBTC', are incompatible as they're off by one decimal place. mBTC is a sensible denotation and I intend to use it for now, but in the medium/long term we will be dealing with much smaller units, and we'll have to argue about this again. Let's say a cheeseburger costs 0.0002 bitcoins. Maybe that price will be written as "0.0002 BTC" or ".2 mBTC" or "200 uBTC", but I think it's more likely to be "20 kilocreds".* *for several reasons - one, it's a true unit of account. two, lots of people don't understand decimal points. three, merchants will prefer non-decimal denotations of prices. four, again, it's fewer syllables, which imo is really important.

You guys crack me up. It's pretty-much a law of disruptive technologies that they fail if they try to do too many things at once. If you want the public to use a new money system, you can't also expect them to use an unfamiliar system of numbers. That would restrict the target users to the intersection of those who are interested in new money systems, and those who are interested in unfamiliar numbering systems. The fact that the general public doesn't use scientific notation anywhere else, suggests that they won't want a money system that adopts it. So, if you want BTC to succeed, scientific notation is out. Tonal notation is out. Greek suffixes are out. The SI (metric) prefixes (milli, micro etc) I think are OK. They are already familiar to most of the world's population, and even the 'Merkins will get the hang of them eventually.

How about: 1 = bit 0.01 = 10^-2 = nit 10^-4 = mit 10^-6 = dit 10^-8 = pit or substitute for your favorite 1st letters. Actually, maybe nit and mit might sound too similar, e.g. over the phone, "WHAT, you're selling your car for 99 nits? That's a hundred times more than I expected,... ahh, mits, mits, now I understand. Haha, I thought you said nits, haha." A car for 99 mits... hmm, that'd be about $200,000 per bit, depending on your definition of car. Guess it'll take a while to get that high, though if it went up a factor of 10 every month, like last month, then we've only to wait until 2012 at the latest.

Since the value of Bitcoins most likely will raise drastically I'd recommend using the smallest unit in the currency as basis. Like for example the Japanese Yen does. Price Numbers seem to be rather high compared to other currencies, but as seen by example it works. so 1E-8 BTC = 1 Bitcoinor 0.0000001 The only problem would be to bridge the gap aslong as BitCoins aren't as valuable. There you can throw in filler units: Like 1 BitCoinCluster for the current 1 BTC setup instead of 10 million BitCoins and another unit for the transition between the two: demi- or di- (Bit)Coin - ( demi = half ) which deals with 1E-4 or 0.0001 of the BitCoinClusters or 1000 BitCoins160 di(Bit)Coins would approximate to about 10 cents/0.10$ at the moment. 1 BitCoinCluster = 10000 diCoins/demiBitCoins 1 diCoin = 1000 BitCoins 1 BitCoin = 0.0000001 BitCoinCluster10.000.000 BitCoins = 1 BitCoinCluster 500.000.000 BitCoins = 50 BitCoinClusters ( upon each successful solve ) The prefixes could be: BitCoinCluster -> either remain 'BTC' ( so the market dimension doesn't necesserily need to change ( like when 1 BTC suddenly is only 1E-8 of the previous BTC )) or 'BCC' for better fit BitCoins -> depending on the Clusters either 'BTC' or just 'BC' 'BC' would be a gimmick since it is usually used as "Before Christ" and BC(BitCoins) are before BTC(BitCoinClusters) so it would make 'BTC' the initial coin into "Christ" and rendering the creator of these namely " Satoshi Nakamoto" into " our Savior". also instead of solid prefixes something like: C-Coin(Cluster-Coin) D-Coin(Demi-Coin) B-Coin(Bit-Coin)could be used.

Mine is the Do bit Ahem
AntiVigilate suggested: "do bit - at this small size it's no longer a question of value but principles - what will you do in the world with a tiny little influence?" I really like this suggestion, it indicates and celebrates the fact that the Bitcoin community is an open source community that relies on the contributions and efforts of its members. Its in many ways a " Do-ocracy". One of the more recent criticisms of Bitcoin is that it is a scam that only benefits only the miners and initial users. This will turn out to be the case if the community of people using Bitcoin don't continue "Doing" thing --writing shopping cart software, making web applications that allow for transacting, trading, managing, and using Bitcoin, preferably in an open source manner. Other ways to contribute include advertising Bitcoin, learning about it and explaining it to others, working to defend Bitcoin's legality, making it easy to generate tax records as needed for the use of Bitcoin, and keeping Bitcoin's image and value as something that is useful for a wide range of transactions strong. I'm not too worried about finding a few people who will use Bitcoin, but I am concerned that there could be a general consensus by many people that Bitcoin is a "Bad Thing" and shouldn't be used at all. I think its important for people to remember that with using Bitcoin comes a responsibility for sharing the effort of building out many legitimate uses for Bitcoin and allow it 'To give us control over our finances by establishing a stable, secure, global, "democratic" currency.' to quote Gavin. This won't happen without a lot of "do"-ing by many people who want to be Bitcoin succeed. To that end, I think that to name 0.001 of a Bitcoin a "Do Bit" and even publicize it as to why we (might) choose this name, to serve as a reminder of service for the collective good, as seen by the many individuals in this Open Source project would mean a lot and look good for this effort. People are naturally going to ask for a long time where whatever the name for 0.001 Bitcent ends up coming from. While we could just use a name based on existing scientific naming conventions, if we take an opportunity to add more cultural value to the name, we can make the social aspects of Bitcoins stronger. I know that I'm being over optimistic that we here in this forum might actually be able to come up with it - Thanks for the point about the Network Effect, ShadowOfHarbringer. But if we had a chance to set it, and have the back story about why many people started calling 0.001 bitcoins "Do Bits", that is, to encourage users to "Do things of value to the community of Bitcoin users, based on principles of OSS & Do-Ocracy", I think we'll be able to put off most of those who see Bitcoin as a scam. I don't want people to "Do" blindly, or just because they'll get a good investment out of Bitcoin, I want them to "Do" because they see the value of an open source based financial system and the gifts of transparency, ease of transaction and more that it offers. Perhaps there is another name which does an even better job of summing up the culture and values of the Bitcoin community other than Do Bit (DoBit)--I'd like to hear about it. Sorry if my idealism is uncomfortable, I'd be interested to hear what others think. Thanks for the great suggestion, Anti Vigilante!

I vote for "mil".
It's short and sweet. It's technically correct. It's ambiguous enough that Americans won't immediately think of it as having very little value.

BountyThx - Speaking of which, 2000 do bits for a good C programming cheat sheet (multiple (gnu extensions preferred). I need to get out of my fear of PCRS (Program, Compile, Run, Sacrifice virgin routine). It's just that I've seen C code and the amount of bootstrapping for doing file reading and networking is um, hideous. Assembly language is less insane. Not joking. Still it's a stumbling block I picked up because of a learning disability I finally resolved so I'd like to crack that glass ceiling once and for all. I mispell and leave out syntax (Kate editor / Emacs both help but I still have jitters). I suppose this reveals my Kryptonite but I don't care. I'm asking for help and I promise to return the favor with some new bitcoin software.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

There are pretty negative and wrong statements on BTC in the press, suggesting there is an actual shortage of granularity in the payment system, quoting techcrunch: "And, crucially, no more than 21 million will ever exist.". To overcome this big hurdle of perception i decided to suggest a complete SI-style renaming system in the dev forum, heres a link: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9299.0

I'm still advocating for bitmill for several reasons. 1. People can easily attribute BITmill to the bitcoin service. 2. It follows the pattern of BITcoins BITcent, blah blah blah. 3. A mill is a legit piece of currency within the Unites States. Gas prices have a mill price at the end of the price. 4. It flows together in a phonic manner.

The reason I liked tidbit when I came up with it because tidbit is already a word that indicates a small quantity that manages to not be insignificant (ie it reveals enough) and I thought it would be cool that anyone who wanted to start with bitcoin could go to the faucet or similar site in the future and get a few tidbits to start their journey. just a couple of tidbits and they would feel compelled to know more / would go deeper into the bunny hole. After putting enough tidbits together they would have a new understanding (or a whole bitcoin).

The world has never seen a currency that was divisible further than .01. This is actually a very interesting issue to me. Here is a few that may work.
0 decimal place - 1 - Bitcoin - BTC
3 decimal place - .001 - Token - mBTC
6 Decimal place - .000001 - Tidbit - µBTC
8 decimal place - .00000001 - Waif - wBTC
Waif is a word for stray or single. I thought it would be appropriate for the smallest denomination of bitcoin.

A bitillion 1 Milicoin = 0.001 BTC 0,001 bitz So with that, we had 15 votes for milliBit: it is the winner, although it will likely be abbreviated down to be Mill/Mille as Gavin suggested. zeploum was the first to suggest this, along with 'mille' Congratulations! I'm also awarding AntiVigiliate 5 BTC for his suggestion of Do Bit. I'll likely use that at times in the hopes that it becomes an informal name for 0.001 BTC, the same way that we have crown, farthing, sovereign and guinea for Pound, or Buck for Dollar. I like whoever suggested "hopefully 1 Dollar"! Thanks for everyones thoughts and helpful suggestions. Let the Network Effect take over from here and lets see what sticks!

I like millibit myself.
As said before it lends itself to be used a millie, and could end up being a common transaction amount.

So with that, we had 15 votes for milliBit: it is the winner, although it will likely be abbreviated down to be Mill/Mille as Gavin suggested.
It's the most sane name. Calling them "mill" or "millies" risk causing confusion with "million" though (esp. if capitalizing!). As suggested in another thread, mBit ("embit" - two syllables) sounds nice.

I got a few thoughts here...
First of all, I know there is an understandable move to NOT using actual currency denominations, "cents" "pennies" "dimes". Most of us will be very comfortable with this, but there are many who use other currencies, who may not. Also, aren't we semi-revolting against paper/coin currencies?
Second: Making up names like "bitmil" or "bitsies" or whatever will be very confusing, because in basic conversation, it may take a very long time of regular use before we become that comfortable with whether a "bitsie" is .001 or .0001 or .00001.
Therefore I suggest using more of a route of what we do when we use base numbering systems larger than base 10. We go to letters.
Therefore,
a-bit = .1 btc b-bit = .01 btc c-bit = .001 btc d-bit = .0001 btc e-bit = .00001 btc f-bit = .000001 btc g-bit = .0000001 btc h-bit = .00000001 btc i-bit = .000000001 btc j-bit = .0000000001 btc
In every instance, we keep the "bit" nomenclature, and also use the letter to easily identify how many decimal places are needed.
What do you guys think?

Phoneticly that can be confusing. But using a phonetic alphabet would work...
Bitcoin
.1 = Alphabit .01 = Bravobit/Betabit .001 = Charliebit/Gammabit
and so on.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.

The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations.

Bitcoinbonus is probably a scam - my BTC for registration have not been paid since days and now the bonus has simply been cut to a quarter of the original value You have to claim the bonus. And the bounty for this is paid.

And the bounty for this is paid. I'm not referring to the naming-whatever-bounty - I'm referring to the registration bonus which I claimed days ago and was BTC 0.02 at that time, but now has been changed to BTC 0.005. Its status is still "pending". Well that's not much BTC, but I still would appreciate this site paying what has been promised.

j-bit .... sounds like something you might find on the silk road (not that I've ever been there)
If the decimal place moves 6 places to the right as described in the other thread then this is a moot discussion, as fun as it is. Then we go back to super-naming instead of sub-naming.

Where has this bloody dobit thing come from all of a sudden? SI makes instinctive sense to most of the world: why would you ruin that? Just as we talk in megahashes, millibitcoins is the future. It's not creating some confusing new scheme, it's purely logical.

I think that instead of coming up with names for 0.001 and 0.000001 bitcoins we should seriously consider changing the value of 1 bitcoin. I propose that what now is 0.000001 bitcoins becomes the new bitcoin. If we want bitcoin to be widely used we have start thinking about how to make things simple for Average Joe. So, a couple of reasons why this would be better: - Bitcoin sounds like a small amount.
- While milli- and micro- is very simple to understand for a scientific community, "a thousand" and "a million" is understood more intuitively by Average Joe. So instead of having "a microbitcoin", "a millibitcoin" and "a bitcoin" in everyday use it would be better to have "a bitcoin", "a thousand bitcoins" and "a million bitcoins".
- No currency that I have used have smaller amounts than 0.01 main units. Using the new definition of a bitcoin the smallest possible amount would be just that, 0.01 bitcoins.
I don't think that it's too late to make a change like this.

While milli- and micro- is very simple to understand for a scientific community, "a thousand" and "a million" is understood more intuitively by Average Joe.
I hate having to agree with you, but the recent accident in Fukushima is a good example. Both mass media and the general public were completely unable to understand and communicate the difference between micro and milli - leading to headlines that there had been increases in radiation because TEPCO stated "14 microsievert" when they had previously said "0.6 millisievert" etc. Falkvinge expressed similar views: {amount}[k|m|u]
The amount 0.00141 could have been better written as 1.41m (1.41 millibitcoin), or 1410u for those who prefer (1,410 microbitcoin). It makes it much more readable. Readability is strongly preferable. (The k prefix works similarly for kilo and will probably only be used to buy mansions and luxury sports cars. I do not foresee a need for a mega prefix.) http://falkvinge.net/2011/06/06/bitcoins-four-hurdles-part-two-transactions/

You use bitCOINS when it's a small number, but when it's a big number you don't use coins.

I don't think that it's too late to make a change like this. I'm completely with D.H. all these prefixes and suffixes are a mess to handle by average Joe. I've never seen a currency with more than two decimal places; how are you supposed to pay for you daily loaf of bread or newspaper? How much for that .... (you name it)? You need to answer such a question with something which can be spelled easily; try to ask your grandma for some coins, are you going to ask her a few milli/nano something (not to mention a few btches)? So, the bitcoin HAS to be equivalent to 100 satoshis (or 1000, if we want to use some of those decimal places), and from there we simply go up until we reach 1 million (new) bitcoins where we simply remove the decimal place which is there now and keep going up. 1 billion new bitcoins == 1,000.00 current bitcoins 1 trillion new bitcoins == 1,000,000.00 current bitcoins and so on . my 2s (satoshis)

I'm sure that's what the guy who bought the 10K BTC pizza was thinking, too.

"cent" or "milli" sound like something small. People may feel uncomfortable buying 1 bit"cent" for 5 dollars, for example. I like "Gavin" (not "Gav", Gav sounds a little funny in Russian). Or maybe think about some other human names. First of all, it must be beautiful and human-oriented, not necessarily compared with some bitcoiner.

How about just "embee" ... mb .. mili-bit.
20 embee' for that cup of coffee! Has the added bonus of being abbreviated as mb or MB. Might get confused with a Megabit or byte, though.. although if someone takes Megabits for food, that might be full of win.

I'll give credit and attribution where due, so don't accuse me if I'm accidentally borrowing too much.
"embee" MBTC (1e+6 BTC) -short 'e' (I borrowed this, but changed the magnitude). <attr> Inaba. "kibee" KBTC (1e+3 BTC) -short 'i' "bitcee" / "bickee" BTC (1 BTC) -short 'i' and unique naming playing on acronym [ B ]i[ T ][ C ]ee. "dibee" dBTC (1e-1 BTC) -short 'i' "cibee" cBTC (1e-2 BTC) -short 'i' "mibee" mBTC (1e-3 BTC) -short 'i' "ubee" uBTC (1e-6 BTC) - pronounced "youbee" or alternatively "myubee" (I borrowed this). "nabee" nBTC (1e-9 BTC) - if necessary in future, or for amounts >= 10 Satoshis.
And for nickles and dimes: nickee/nickit (.05 BTC) and dimee/dimit (.1 BTC, or 1 dibee).
I tried to find as many unique pronuciations (prevent miscommunications) and maintain as close a resemblence to the metric prefix notation as possible. I also tried to keep it at 2 syllables. I tried one syllable, but it didn't sound unique enough.
Wha'dya think?

The ?ibee's would be a problem. They are close to the should-have-been-aborted SI units, which, at least to AmGen speakers sound like baby talk and mush mouth, making them somewhat distasteful to say.
So kibee, bitcee, dibee, cibee, mibee and nabee would probably not find wide adoption and suffer the same ill-fate as the SI prefixes.

What modifications would work and keep the "common" numerical prefixes? How about a different suffix? Perhaps a -bits suffix would sound less "baby talk".

Sure - kibits, mibits, mubits, etc. I like that. Also, the greek "μ" isn't pronounced "myu", it's more like "mu".

Hopefully with the -bits suffix, it will sound a little more professional but keep the brevity roll-off-the-tongue convenience in every day talk.

I agree with Inaba. The cibee name for example sounds like a certain swearword in Asian regions. I prefer the -bits suffix too.

I'll give credit and attribution where due, so don't accuse me if I'm accidentally borrowing too much.
"embit" MBTC (1e+6 BTC) -short 'e' (I borrowed this, but changed the magnitude). "kibit" KBTC (1e+3 BTC) -short 'i' "bitcee" / "bickee" BTC (1 BTC) -short 'i' and unique naming playing on acronym [ B ]i[ T ][ C ]ee. "dibit" dBTC (1e-1 BTC) -short 'i' "cibit" cBTC (1e-2 BTC) -short 'i' "mibit" mBTC (1e-3 BTC) -short 'i' "ubit" / "mubit" uBTC (1e-6 BTC) - pronounced youbit, oobit or moobit. "nabit" nBTC (1e-9 BTC) - if necessary in future, or for amounts >= 10 Satoshis.
And for nickles and dimes: nickee/nickit (.05 BTC) and dimee/dimit (.1 BTC, or 1 dibee).
I'll leave the nickles and dimes the same as they're kind of one-offs anyway. Also I left the single bitcoin as unique too.
Appreciate the input guys.

When people talk about their own country's currency, the don't suffix it with the country name. They talk about dollars, cents, pfennigs, etc.
We should do the same. When it's obvious from context that we're talking about bitcoin, just use 'cents' and 'mills' (don't use 'mikes' - has some unsavoury drug connotations in my country). If you do need to refer to microbitcoin, just do it in terms of hundreds or thousands of satoshis.
This way 'satoshis' remains unique, and talking about prices stays simple.

I think it needs to remain simplified. In dollars we say 10 cents and 1 cent. Cent doesn't change, so why does it have to change in this case.
My proposal:
Everything before the decimal: bit|bar Everything after the decimal: sat
When saying Sat we could extend the "a" so the word drags out a bit more. Spelt like "Sat", said like "Saaat(s)".

I think that this discussion is not very relevant, because general public will decide which option is the best anyway because of Network Effects. After one option is selected by the most of people, there will be no stopping it. This. True. BTW just realized than denominatons of 10K BTC could be called "pizzas"

millibit. Accurate, easy, and short. Also the nice thing is that since bit (general nonbitcoin word) is a discrete unit there is no such concept of sub bit. Therefore without spelling out "coin" it becomes disambiguous that the speaker is talking about only bitcoin. Recently I had a falling price auction where the price of a new BFL Single fell by 2 millibits per minute.

Keep the bitcoins accord with the International System of Units. So everybody will know how to call 0.001 Btc ,1 miliBtc.
Much easier for everyone and easier for globalisation.

I've only seen bitmil and btm used, but in the end both millibit and bitmil keep to measurements and are easy to tell
maybe something like this?
0.01btc - bitcent - centibit - MEGA SATOSHI! 0.001btc - bitmil - millibit 0.0001btc - 10 kilosat - 0.1 bitmil/millbit 0.00001btc - Kilosat 0.000001btc - bitmicro - microbit 0.0000001btc - 10 satoshis 0.00000001btc - satoshi

+1 for satoshi based naming. I prefer names that refer to multiples of satoshis rather that fractions of bitcoin. In example; Product X is on sale for 13 Kilo-Satoshis, which will over time be shortened to 13 Kilo-Satosh, 13 Kilo-Sats, 13 kS etc.

1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshis 1 XBT = 100 satoshis
1 BTC = 1,000 mBTC = 1,000,000 XBT = 1M XBT = 1 MXBT 0.001 BTC = 1 mBTC = 1000 XBT = 1k XBT = 1 kXBT 0.000,001 BTC = 0.001 mBTC = 1 XBT
At the moment:
$1 = 2160 XBT = 2.16 mBTC 1000 XBT = 1 mBTC = $0.46 1 XBT = 0.001 mBTC = $0.00046

Yep. Something like this ... giving the one hundred satoshi unit a specific name is a good way all around. Better hurry though I think the Foundation is already working on getting XBT into ISO currency definitions. 1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshis 1 XBT = 100 satoshis
1 BTC = 1,000 mBTC = 1,000,000 XBT = 1M XBT = 1 MXBT 0.001 BTC = 1 mBTC = 1000 XBT = 1k XBT = 1 kXBT 0.000,001 BTC = 0.001 mBTC = 1 XBT
At the moment:
$1 = 2160 XBT = 2.16 mBTC 1000 XBT = 1 mBTC = $0.46 1 XBT = 0.001 mBTC = $0.00046

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them.

I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion.

I feel as if we should stray from common names (e.g. Mike), since they don't exactly loan credibility to our money. What if a cent was actually a John? I don't think it'd work out well. As for 0.001, I propose that we call it the "mille". It has a nice, flowing sound to it, and has established ground in the SI prefix system as well as in "permille" (as opposed to percent). It also works well pluralized (see milles). Anyways, those are just my ten milles on the idea.

Lets look at bitcoin (the blockchain) as a global database and a Satoshi as the minimal unit to save data in there. So the currency could become an equivalent for the capacity to store data there, to write history. Maybe that is some day more important then money? What are our measurements for data capacity? Bit is the smallest unit for information. So a Satoshi could be equivalent to 1 bit.
1000 Satoshis = 1 kilobit ~ 1 cent (USD) at the current price 0.01 BTC = 1 000 000 Satoshi = 1 megabit ~ 10 USD
Of cours it could be confusing to use kilobit/megabit for a currency. Also it does not sound well. So a better name is needed, but maybe the analogy leads somebody to a nice name. Satoshi is by far the best name for a currency, better then bitcoin IMHO.
Decimal/Cubic/Satoshi (DeCuSa) for 10^3 Satoshis (1000 Satoshis ~ 1 cent)? And that as symbol: Đ as sign for the leaving dollar ;-) Or maybe better a mathematical symbol like: Ξ or θ

Yes relating the units to Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum is a great idea.
These are both already commodities of ascending value and widely recognised.
1BTC = 1Bitcoin 0.1BTC= 1Plat 0.01BTC= 1G 0.001BTC = 1S 0.0001BTC = 1B 0.00001BTC = 1C
for example.

Interestingly, I've noticed that I never speak about bitcoin amounts in other than either full value or satoshi amounts, and when writing about a thousandth of a bitcoin I just write "0.001 btc". Maybe the "mbtc" range is not needed.

Why can't we just use millibit and microbits? Why do people try to give a name for every tenth. Can't you just say 10 millibits or 100 millibits. It's not necessary to have a new name every factor of 10. Also I'm sure some people say this is confusing with the computer units for storage, but I'm pretty sure you can use a little context here. There are many words with double meanings, doesn't mean we have to create a new word for every single meaning, right?

It's a mbtc, we all know that.
.. and mbtc is soooo catchy. I use it all the time. So call it a Millie for now. Catchier nicknames will arise naturally in time. I'll wait for those catchier nicknames. Interestingly, I've noticed that I never speak about bitcoin amounts in other than either full value or satoshi amounts, and when writing about a thousandth of a bitcoin I just write "0.001 btc". Maybe the "mbtc" range is not needed. A lot of PTC / earn sites uses mbtc to describe 0.001 bitcoins. Basically I pronounce it a millie-bitcoin, which is per definition what it is, a thousandth of a bitcoin.

Furthermore it already has been decided by network effects, and bumping this thread once every year will not change that. It wouldn't need bumping if it was ever going to get anywhere.

This is true. It just got necro'd because someone wanted to build their post count, then someone else complained about the term not being catchy enough. The thread itself is stupid, it's time to let it die.

Just call it Gox. I think cca. 0.001 BTC will be the maximum what you will get back from every deposited BTCs.

Millies, as a friendly form of millibitcoins.
I like it because it goes with Mikes, a friendly form of microbitcoins, and someone is sure to do a nice logo of Millie and Mike.

I always seem to call it a mibit , or mib. Like, sometimes when donating or tipping some people I'll say "That was worth a few mibs"... hahaha. It kinda has that sort of "buck" feel in terms of wordflow.
Anyway, that's my 2 BTCcents

How about just a Bit?
EDIT: to also propose the suggestion Bbit (pronounce "bee bit") and to second the suggestion of bitbit.
And just a random suggestion, perhaps the new unit name should belong to the 0.0001 denomination (cent of a cent). We'll go through fewer names that way, less confusion. The most useful significant digits will all remain near the decimal point (four to the left, four to the right of it), it could be the only new name we ever need.
I am not sure that SI patterns or prefixes are the way to go. I occasionally use SI in regular speech just to be geeky (example, I like to say 5 "kilodollars" instead of 5 "grand"), and people look at me like I'm nuts and often don't even know what I mean, even though it should be obvious. No one seems to expect to see money measured like kilograms or millimeters.
Beyond the currently accepted "satoshi", I don't feel fond of honorary names ("gav" etc.), these seem like they could be a turnoff.

Its confusing to use decimal places, we should use satoshi instead to be prepared for deflation the coming years.
0.0000 0001 BTC = 1 satoshi
Btc@100$ 1$ = 1M satoshi
Btc@1000$ 1$ = 100K satoshi
Btc@10,000$ 1$= 10K satoshi
Btc@100,000$ 1$= 1K satoshi

We all agree that 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 Satoshis
I propose:
100 Satoshis = 1 Earth Federation Space Credit (or just Credit for short)
1000 Credits = 1 Dorian
1000 Dorians = 1 Bitcoin
1000 Bitcoins = 1 Large
1000 Large = 1 Rock (Satoshi's estimated fortune?)
21 Rocks = all of Bitcoin ever

I vote "Bit" for 0.001 BTC. Let's call the Satoshi "Chit," named after the currency in the book "Wool." "Bits" and "Chits" would be simple and easy to say. Much like how people prefer to say "Bucks" instead of "Dollar."

Everything should be priced in Satoshi since it's easier and more logical to count upwards than downwards. ie: TV for sale, 500,000 Satoshi. Will be similar to using Yen...

Except a TV worth 500,000 Satoshis would be $3 right now. So currently a Satoshi is worth 596,550,000 times less than a Japanese Yen. The closest currency to a Satoshi would be a Vietnamese Dong and that is still worth 2,890,500 times one Satoshi.

Our brains adapt.
After paying attention to all the decimal digits for all the relevant amounts for a few weeks, I became so used to mentally parse eight digits in the blink of an eye.
We can simply call 0.001 BTC, 0.001 BTC:)

This. I found it really hard when I was new here to get a grip of what was what, I had to google which decimal was which etc. Couple of weeks later ( now ) I don't have to think twice. The human brain is quite good, isn't it. :>

I suppose. But still, had we had those words chosen by members of an online forum from the start of bitcoins, we wouldn't have had anything to say against it today to be honest, our brains would've adapted to that just like we do to the decimals. But changing it now? No thanks.

To be honest, I think if Bitcoin had used arbitrary words I probably would have walked away without digging deeper - "the rest of the (finance) world copes just fine with thousands and 0.001, why should I have to learn some hacker jargon in order to use Bitcoin?" (Obviously some learning is necessary, but we should aim to reduce it to what's necessary, not what's cute or what we think is easy to understand).

I suppose you're right, it's not exactly inviting if arbitrary words were used. When I think about it I come to the same conclusion as you did, I probably would've just walked away as well. Good point, +1.

Should call 0.001 btc a "gox". Why? Because it is representative of the highest percentage of coins that one could expect to get back from gox.

Bitcoin needs a cockney rhyming slang for all the statoshis. In cockney £20 is a score, £25 is a pony, £100 is a tonne, £500 is a monkey and £1000 is a grand.
How about naming 10 satoshi is a Finney, 100 satoshi is a Zimmerman, 1000 is a Szabo, 10,000 a Nakamoto etc

Can you explain the rhymes here? I can't figure them out. These are Cockney slang but not rhyming. 20: score. a very old word for 20. e.g. "threescore years and ten" is from the bible. 25: pony. no one knows for sure. some say it's because an indian 25 rupee note had a pony on it, but I've never seen anyone back that up with a picture or even any evidence that this note existed. 100: ton. tonnage is the measure of capacity of a ship (so volume not weight). 100 cubic feet are in one maritime ton. 500: monkey. again no one knows. again said to be from a 500 rupee note but no one has an image of one. 1000: grand. actually from american slang of around 1915. $1000 was "a grand sum".

Bitnote My friends and I were launching an ecommerce site with potential of taking bitcoin. Realized there is a big communication issue with people understanding normal priced items (coffee, gas, kindle, clothing) when expressing in bitcoin. i.e. a shirt costing 0.0483858 BTC for $29.90 Regular people do poorly with all the 0's and decimals, and usually poorly with terms like milli/micro. For bitcoin to be big, it has to expand to these people. We proposed 1 bitcoin = 1024 Bitnote. The website is: http://bitnote.co

"nitbit"
From urban dictionary:
nit
gambling term. usually found in poolrooms. Refers to: 1. Someone who's so afraid to lose a bet that they have to be coddled and convinced for an hour that they're going to have a great time and probably win, too. Eventually they may play, but by the time they get on the table the stakes are so low the table-time will eat any winnings you make.
2. someone who won't play unless they have a guaranteed sure win.
3. someone who'll squeeze a dollar 'til george's eyes pop out of the paper.
1) In information technology as elsewhere, a nit (pronounced NIHT) is a small, usually unimportant imperfection in something. People who have unusually high or unreasonable standards for the quality of a thing are sometimes referred to as nitpickers.
2) In lighting, the nit is a unit of visible-light intensity, commonly used to specify the brightness of a cathode ray tube or liquid crystal display computer display. One nit is equivalent to one candela per square meter. The candela, formerly called candlepower, is approximately the amount of light emitted by a common tallow candle; technically it is the quantity of radiation emitted by 1.667 x 10-6 square meter of a blackbody at the melting point of platinum. The candela is equal to one lumen per steradian (unit solid angle). (A blackbody is an object that radiates energy with 100 percent efficiency at all electromagnetic wavelengths. It also absorbs all electromagnetic energy that strikes it, hence the expression "black." It is a theoretical ideal of interest in physics and engineering.)
The nit is a comparatively small unit of brightness. A typical active-matrix LCD panel has an output between 200 and 300 nit, for example.
3) In digital electronics, the term nit is occasionally used to represent an amount, or increment, of data equal to 1.44 binary digit.

0.001 BTC == 10 -3 BTC, so it's mBTC (1 BTC = 1000 mBTC). So 1 mBTC should be called milliBTC, or millibitcoin. Short version could be millibits, mibits, milbits. Funny version: LitreBit or LitreCoin

You guys do know..that this thread was started 3 years ago...The OP probably already gave away the 5 BTC Bounty, which in 2011 wasn't worth much, probably 4 dollars per Bitcoin..
+1 Lol, Jeez these guys are clueless! I already commented that when the thread was first dug up by a 2 activity newbie, however, people seem to enjoy posting their own ideas. Let them do whatever they want, I doubt anyone is expecting a reward, lol.

We could do that, you know. Bitcoin is, fundamentally, binary; and the American Standard is (largely) based upon doubling and/or halving of units. Half-gallon is a unit, and between a cup and an ounce sits the gill (half a cup) and half-gill. The teaspoon is the oddball; but the dram (one-quarter tablespoon) fits the pattern.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Millies, as a friendly form of millibitcoins.
I like it because it goes with Mikes, a friendly form of microbitcoins, and someone is sure to do a nice logo of Millie and Mike.
+.001 I call it a chip =)

Haha, this is a very old thread. Millibitcoin is already the established name, no need to worry about it. People can make up their own names all they want but in the end they'll always have to explain themselves when interacting with other people. For example, I could decide to call 1 USD "hdushadnj", but I'd still have to tell everyone that a "hdushadnj" was a USD.

millibit, mega is a million. The scale ( based on ISO 2955 metric prefixes) goes like this: nano-bitcoin nBTC (nanobit) (10-9) (1/billion) 0.1 satoshi not currently possible satoshi micro-bitcoin µ BTC (microbit) ( 10-6) (1/million) 100 satoshi milli-bitcoin m BTC (millibit) ( 10-3) (1/thousand) 100,000 satoshi bitcoin 100,000,000 satoshi kilo-bitcoin k BTC (kilobit) ( 103) (thousand) 100,000,000,000 satoshi mega-bitcoin M BTC (megabit) ( 106) (million) 100,000,000,000,000 satoshi anything larger/smaller than that would be unnecessary.

You can stop bumping this thread. The 5 BTC bounty ($30 total when this offer was made) was paid almost three years ago (the winner was "milliBit"): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8282.msg136944#msg136944. The reference client has had mBTC for this amount (along with µBTC) for two years.

I don't think any recent poster, including myself, has any interest in claiming the bounty. If the thread irritates you it is possible to unsubscribe via the "notify" link in the bottom right.

I think most people are fully aware of that, they're not looking for the 5 btc bounty, they just wanna throw out their own ideas, for some reason.

50 Cents? I don't get that. Four bits? Would be confusing, as there's only 1 value number. Half a buck? Would 0.002 btc be a buck? If not, would 0.002 btc he 2 half a buck(s)?
