Topic: Millis or Millies? (Read 1955 times)
I like m-bits
lol very funny thread 
^ That's not bad. It uses the convention used in going from 'bitcoin' to 'bitcent', by replacing the latter half and keeping the 'bit'. I like 'millicoin' only because it has the word 'coin' in it.
Me too, that's why I put up that site
Another name I like is 'Millicoins'. I've made it the primary name for mBTC on http://btctip.com. I've also made 'centcoins' the primary way to refer to cBTC.
I think we need to try different names until we find one that sticks. My favorite for mBTC at the moment is ₩.
₩
What the hell is that?
It looks like a Wiccan laundry line.
That's the currency symbol for the Korean Won, and was also used as a symbol for the fictional Woolong currency in Cowboy Bebop. See the link for more information.
I love "woolongs" (₩).

for a few years now a 1000th of a bitcoin has been WIDELY known as a bitmill...
check out the game Dragon's tale which is/was the first fully interactive 3D bitcoin game, used for fun, gambing or simply as a faucet.

how about 10 thousadths= decikils and 100 thousadths = centikils
10 millionths= decimils(duh decimals, probably where the name derives) and 100millionths = centimils
10 millionths= decimils(duh decimals, probably where the name derives) and 100millionths = centimils
deci= units of 10 or tenths
centi= units of 100 or hundredths
kili= 1000 or thousandths
mili millionths
bili billionts bi 2
tril trillionths tri3
quadra
penti 5
sexti
...
pico
nano
btc'ers who send trilibits could be called trilobytes for being troglodytes...sextibits sounds a little porny to me. I prefer nano bit but doesn't fit the context

millibits rolls off the tounge easiest IMHO.
If you have ever had to convert from Imperial Measurements to the Metric System, as I did in grade 3 (Metric was officially adopted and taught in schools here in Canada when I was in grade 3) you can quickly adapt. It is very simple. I see the division of bitcoin units to be very much "metric money"
There is a reason metric is the standard system for precision engineering.

What's wrong with 0.01BTC = 1 MegaSatoshi?
That sets us up for the move in a few years to kilosatoshis.

Millies, Millibits, and Woolong
Chrome says millimeter is wrong.
So which is it?!
Pardner?!
So which is it?!
Pardner?!
It's double 'L'.
If I were British I would also tell you to spell the 2nd part as 'metre'
That's what I'm saying
None of the frickin' above. For pretty much all of my meager life, the universal decimal system prefix for 10^(-3) has been mili-
Note the single 'l'.

Further, the abbreviation for the prefix has been 'm'. As in mBTC, or mBitcoin.
I think all y'all* oughter get out of the basement from time to time. That there retro cutie MillieBitcoin avatar is having too much effect on your cognitive processes.

In the near future we will likely be talking about bitcoins using the mBTC valuation for common items.
What should the naming convention be when speaking of milli-bitcoins(hyphen?)?
What about symbol? m฿?

Well, if polls matter, this was already voted on two years ago:
what should we call a milli-Bitcoin ?
And the winner is ....
"millibit":
- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MilliBit
That site mentions that a nickname for the microBitcoin would be "Mickey"...maybe Mickey and Milli will be future children's names based upon Bitcoin.
I love the term Mickey. Now I gotta use it!
