Topic: Honoring Hal Finney - page 2. (Read 2135 times)
you own me 3 Finney!
Sounds like a good idea and a great way to honor him and with Finney being catchy I see it really working out as well. Hopefully something like this will take off and we will see it used a lot more in his honor 
Finney sounds great, we still need to make people understand how to use BTC tho.
I'd back renaming a denomination after him. Finney sounds pretty good as well. I can see that catching on.

Finney=millibit !
I was wracking my brain on a way to honor Hal, and this is the idea I came up with. I shared on Reddit, Twitter, and other places, but I thought I would share here too. I propose we rename 0.0000001 BTC as the Finney. Just as we honor Satoshi for 0.00000001.
Or using scientific notification:
1e-7 BTC = 1 finney
1e-8 BTC = 1 satoshi

Not sure how something like this becomes official, but I guess if enough people use it, then it becomes part of the Bitcoin language.

Isn't it the millibit that needs a new name?
