You'd have to look back at the ones I quoted. Obviously, some of the suggestions were less serious than others.

If you don't feel like going back, just list your suggestions; if any are duplicates they'll just be tossed out before the poll choices are chosen.


Obviously ? Really ? Who's opinion ?

How do you judge less or more serious ?

All the judgements should be made by voting, not by one individual.

OK, you set the 0.1 BTC prize and you can send it to anyone you like, but if this is not a fair game or some of us don't think it's a fair game, then it may end up less people would use the name you decided for 0.0001 btc.

So, to make less complains as possible, to make more people willing to use the name in the future, I strongly suggest that :
Don't be obvious. Put all the names in the poll, if it is obvious then let the voting say so.

Minicoin would sound pretty good imo, though the problem with many of these suggestions with -coin in the name is that people might think that it's another cryptocurrency. (because honestly, there's hundreds of different cryptocoins out there now)

Anything that is similar but differs by one vowel, e.g.:
1 botcoin
1 betcoin
1 batcoin

1 BTC / 1,000 =  Millibit or Milly or Millies
1 BTC / 1,000,000 =  Microbit or Mikey or Mikeys

So, 0.0001 BTC = 0.1 millies or 100 mikeys

On further consideration, as much as I like the Snowden (and I'm not withdrawing it) it might be a bit  Wink too much "in your face" for the good of Bitcoin in general.   It may be that the Hayek would be more appropriate from a marketing perspective.

I humbly submit the...

Snowden.



Also for your consideration:  the Assange, Babbage, and Hayek.

Given the historical precedent of naming currency denominations in honor of historically significant persons, and the fact that bitcoin has continued this precedent with the Satoshi, I humbly submit the...

Snowden.

Some would argue his contribution to freedom may one day be seen to rival Franklin's; and it would be nice to see the value of a Snowden equivalent to a Franklin.  Grin

Also for your consideration:  the Assange, Babbage, and Hayek.

What are the proposed names until now?

I've wanted to call it minicoin too. Or maybe a centcoin.

1 hal
1 fin
1 finn
1 halfin  (or halfinn)

How about 'semibit', 'fracbit' as in fraction of, 'grambit' or 'fairbit'

Also 'nanobit', 'splitbit', 'fragbit'.

We already have nano-bitcoins (0.1 satoshi), sorry

A BabyBit.

1 Nioc (reverse "coin")
1 Billy
1 Biccy
1 Bikky
1 Bissy
1 Biddy
1 Birry
1 Biffy
1 Bixxy

What about

00.00000001 = 1 satoshi (1 s or 1 sat)
00.00000010 = 10 satoshi (10 s or 10 sat)
00.00000100 = 100 satoshi (100 s or 100 sat)
00.00001000 = 1 kilo-satoshi (1 ks or 1 ksat)
00.00010000 = 10 kilo-satoshi (10 ks or 10 ksat)
00.00100000 = 100 kilo-satoshi (100 ks or 100 ksat)
00.01000000 = 1 mega-satoshi (1 Ms or Msat)
00.10000000 = 10 mega-satoshi (10 Ms or 10 Msat)
01.00000000 = 100 mega-satoshi (100 Ms or 100 Msat)
10.00000000 = 1 giga-satoshi (1 Gs or 1 Gsat)
Chosen here or not, this will be the naming scheme in the future, and gambling establishments which regularly deal in small amounts of BTC already use an identical or similar system. There's no longer any reason to keep the radix point in Bitcoin. Most people aren't dealing with 10BTC+ transactions every day.

Try to follow this now....

(Roman numeral one)=> I
(ten-thousandth)=> tt
(incremented)=> i

0.0001 BTC = Ittibit or IttiBit

One ten-thousandth incremented = Itti

Thank you for your consideration.... Shocked

Simple, catchy, rolls off the tongue, appeals to the casual user.

Bitcoin needs ease of use and simplicity if its to become widespread. Naming bits japanese words or computer jargon, while nifty, doesn't really help.

This is the most insightful answer I've read here.
So if I'm understanding this correctly:

1.00000000 = oku
0.00010000 = man

Edit:

1.00000000 = 1 oku satoshi
0.00010000 = 1 man satoshi (1 man)
0.00000001 = 1 satoshi (1 sat)

That's interesting, I also like the idea of using "1 man satoshi" or "1 man" for short.

SO 1 BTC would be equivalent to 1 oku satoshi
