HI CFB, I haven't had the time to read the white paper but can you help answer a couple questions?

1. Is 999,999,999. the total supply of IOTA in existence?
2. There is no inflationary model or mining, correct?
3. Can you explain Iota's ability to communicate with other Blockchains?

Thank you

yea, just make it more complicated. I am sure the masses are able to follow Wink

Though I understand your point, that also doesn't mean that they will all be used frequently.  When is the last time you've mentioned a Dekameter in a sentence?  It's a legit word but it doesn't get much use.  How about hectoliters?

Realistically, people will likely only mention "iota", "nano-iota" and possibly a larger set( say, one for 1,000,000.)  That doesn't mean it can't be reasonably and logically subdivided.

Hope you'll find a good designer to provide a good design. This a very important factor of marketing.
Sadly most people in the crypto community narrow their view in the nerd space and don't see it:
Only with a professional design the product can be treated as professional in general...

If we just append the first letter or two of many of the metric prefixes, we could have units like iota (1), diota (.1) daiota or daota (DOW-ta) for pronounciation(10), Kiota, Miota (100, 1,000,000) and Niota/Nanota/Nano-iota (.000000001)

Come-from-Beyond, any suggestions?

Nanoiotas. To avoid the problem of Ethereum users who have to memorize a lot of unit names.

Thanks - Makes sense!  Smiley

Great work Come-from-Beyond. Looking forward to the launch.

One "important" question to the future IOTA-Community: How should we name the "mini-IOTA" (you know the ones after the decimal point, the "Satoshis" of IOTA)?

Come-from-Beyond, any suggestions?

I will throw Sergi into the ring what reflects somehow 2 members of the IOTA-team.  Wink

It was mentioned that CfBs logo has 3 colors, where I count 4-- white, black and two shades of grey.

This reminded me:

What colors these pills are?

Exactly the same three colors as on CFB-s avatar.

CfBs avatar has 4 colors. Tongue

You you look you'll notice that the color of 999'999'999 is more "white" then other white parts. So its the same 4 colors.

I wasn't comparing colors, just the count.  It was mentioned that CfBs logo has 3 colors, where I count 4-- white, black and two shades of grey.

Also, that looks as sharp as the original Nxt Client.  I remember those days.

Is it something you may share - or will it be published later by mthcl... ;-)

No need to call mthcl for that Smiley, just recall that 10 = 9 + 1 and 1 = 0.(9)
