"BTx" is reserved for the Himalayan country of Bhutan. (where x is a code letter for any of its present or future currency units).

So we only need to convince Bhutan to use Bitcoin as their official currency?
Or, given the current rise will continue, we could just buy Bhutan?

X10 is also synonymous with home automation.

How about "X10", where 1 and 0 represent bits.
"X Ten" would sound better than "X zero one" or "X Oh one"
Saying "x one" seems missing zero.

Sounds nice, but all the others are alphabetic, which is also the convention e.g. USD, CAD. There is a separate numeric associated with each one as well. XBC has already been taken by the European central bank, unfortunately.

Easy, then XIO / XOI ? "X oh eye"

"XBT"

That actually looks cooler than btc.

Actually, the code "BTC" is itself a problem as it does not fit the ISO standard.

"BTx" is reserved for the Himalayan country of Bhutan. (where x is a code letter for any of its present or future currency units).

Gold is XAU and silver is XAG. "XBT" is probably the most appropriate ISO code for Bitcoin. A real ISO code is needed in order for it to be traded on the world's FX systems and seen on Bloomberg and Reuters. It would be a major coup for Bitcoin to get recognized currency status.

I dunno but .001000 should be a gavin because it's right in between a satoshi and a bitcoin.

"This transaction is over the size limit. You can still send it for a fee of one gavin (0.001), which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network. Do you want to pay the fee?"

Bitcoin unit name suggestions,

1. using single currency symbol; subfix / superfix 1, 2, 3 to distinguish among micro / mega units

2. get two symbols approved; B & b. BTC 0.1=1b100; 0.003=1b3; 0.00004=2b40; 0.000000009=3b9; 1234=1B1.234; 5670000=2B5.67

Makes any sense? Roll Eyes
