I would not denominate in some non-Bitcoin term any denomination for Bitcoin other than the Satoshi (since by the time we get to pricing things in Satoshis people should know that is the denomination by then).

Bitcoin is a brand, part of its value is that the word Bitcoin is so well known and associated with crypto-currency.

To come up with another word for talking about bitcoins would be the equivalent to starting another alt currency with your new name.

mBTC or milli-Bitcoin is easily known as .001 bitcoins because enough people can recognize what milli stands for (even Americans know what a millimeter is).

I will be using mBTC on my website as it makes sense.

Tri-bitcoin, to help people remember the three zeroes in front (1 tBTC = .0001)

tri-bit for short

tBTC


It is way too hard to remember what all the nominal denominations are. People need easy reference. With this name, the number of zeroes is built in, tri-bit. Everyone knows tri=3, and can make the further logical conclusion that there a tri-bit has 3 zeroes in front.


Alternatives:

tre-bit (tre short for 'tres')

qubit, qBTC

qubits have three states (0, 1, or both)
can be used to refer to the three zeroes in front (1 qBTC = 0.0001)

The dollar.

Already taken by the FED.[/color]

>> not necessarily. Around 15 countries already use the dollar.

some currencies use the -ar suffix, such as the dollar and dinar.

>> how about the "Bonar?"

1. Collect underpants 2. ? 3. Profit
There's a poll on it over here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-denominations-and-naming-conventions-349579

A combination of the following proved popular:

"centi-bit" (cBTC) / "milli-bit" (mBTC) / "micro-bit" (µBTC) / "satoshi" (sBTC)
"cents" (cBTC) / "mills" (mBTC) / "mics" (µBTC) / "sats (satoshis)" (sBTC)

The first being formal terms. The latter being informal or slang.

Anderson drops me off at my sister and brother-in-law’s house. I’ve brought .76 Bitcoin worth of cupcakes and wine. Because my brother in law is turning 34, I give him .34 Bitcoins, or as I’ve taken to calling them, 34 Bittycoins. It seems like the best present I can give this week.
