What about Smith aka Adam Smith?

Wow, such necro. It's been almost exactly a year and I guess I'll replace Gavin to "bit" in my half-baked scheme.

Anyway, I would say that late enlightenment philosophers are far too removed from any economic theory underlining Bitcoin.

I'm sure that one day I will be able to buy a coffee for one Gavin, but in the meantime lets come up with something more memorable and meaningful than "100 microbitcoins". Here's my humble first draft. The above-one names will probably never be used, but it's still fun to have them named.

Denomination	Name	Legend
21000000	The Coinbase
10000000	Menger	Carl Menger, founder of the Austrian School of Economics
1000000	Nakamoto	possible number of BTC owned by SN
100000	Hayek	Nobel prize for contribution to the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle
10000	Pizza	first Bitcoin transaction - 10000BTC for a couple of pizzas
1000	Mises	In "Monetary Reconstruction" (1953) Ludwig von Mises argued for a fixed money supply
100	Milton	Milton Friedman proposed replacing the FED with a computer
10	Murray	Murray Rothbard argued for competing private currencies
1	Bitcoin
0.1	Finney	Hal Finney created the first reusable proof of work system
0.01	bitcent
0.001	milicoin
0.0001	Chaum	David Chaum - ecash
0.00001	Szabo	Nick Szabo - bitgold
0.000001	microcoin
0.0000001	Bit	Previously "Gavin"
0.00000001	Satoshi

I couldn't fit Wei Dai or Adam Back, although it is possible that they're already on the list Wink

Anybody else should/shouldn't be on the list? Perhaps fit them in place for mili- and micro- although those seem established by now.
