I'm trying to gauge the current state of Bitcoin's nomenclature from a different angle.

I was thinking of a slightly different poll: How would you name 0.001 BTC? a) millibit b) kilobit. But meh.

I have absolutely no idea. I just name everything in satoshis up until about anything before 0.0001.

Yeah, I thought about this one too but decided against it as I feared a huge number of posts explaining how both names are terrible. I also thought about asking for "bitcent" to avoid the inevitable "A 10th of a satoshi doesn't exist." posts but didn't want to fan flames in the direction of the satoshi. |

Ah, I knew I should have checked the "allow people to change their votes" box. I can't fix that now I'm afraid. I have absolutely no idea. I just name everything in satoshis up until about anything before 0.0001.

I've extended the "other" option to catch these cases. |

Less divisibility than a satoshi doesn't exist in the protocol so if someone says millibit they must mean 0.001 BTC, regardless of if people are using bits as nomenclature for uBTC. This is why the argument that there will be confusion between the two makes no sense.

A single nanobitcoin cannot be handled by the protocol (yet) but it certainly exists as a concept. Amounts smaller than a satoshi can be handled by exchanges and third-party payment systems. A tenth of a US cent (also known as a mill) certainly exists as a concept. I do believe that various gas stations in the US quote prices accurate to tenths of a cent. |

bit mill (btm) not millibit - but again I don't see this as worth spending time on. There will not ever likely be agreement on this - as long as we can all deduce what people are talking about it shouldn't much matter. Some people (moreso in the past than now) used to call $0.25 'two bits.' If you here that today (in USA at least) pretty much everyone knows what the person is talking about. Stop worrying so much about the naming conventions. If we need XBT for the ISO currency code and that is to be 0.000001btc that's fine - beyond that we'll figure it out in time

Any nomenclature between a full bitcoin and a satoshi pisses the fuck off of me. Easier just to write 0.001 or whatever.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

A bitmill (btm) or millibit = 0.001btc Good luck convincing me otherwise Recently a whole army of people has managed to get 'bit' into the mainstream as 100 satoshi, and I am worried it will not stop there. Bitcoin will get american imperial system of measurements. Now let me count how many gallons of bitcoin i have, or is it miles, or nautical miles? Can any american help me counting? |
