I prefer 0.1 millibit or 100 microbit
but if you want to give it a name, chose for
1 decimilibitcoin / decimilibit / decimili / decimil
or
1 hectomicrobitcoin / hectomicrobit / hectormicro
Topic: Name the 0.0001 BTC unit - 1st POLL - page 3. (Read 5130 times)
It must be the thousandth thread about naming a bitcoin subunit, yet the answer will still be "there will be no name for this unit, and even if one will be used it won't have been decided from this thread"
I kinda like the finney though, we owe Hal so much...

I didn't vote because there wasn't an option for "Don't name it at all."
I am seriously opposed to all naming and converting of Bitcoin decimals to other formats other than simply 0.0001 BTC (Point Zero Zero Zero ONE BTC) or ONE TEN THOUSANDTH of a Bitcoin. It really helps put into perspective the value of the amount being offered and eliminates any confusion.
When you start saying millibits, billybits, bips and all this mess then people will disagree. How hard is it to understand that 1 Bitcoin has 100 Million Bits? Why should we name 5000 Bits something and name 10000 Bits something else?
It would make more sense to call 0.00000001 BTC a BIT, but there is already a name in honor of Satoshi.
So if anything, 0.0001 should be called 10,000 Satoshis which sounds way cooler than anything else on the list.

Corrected that for you.
Yes.
I hate all these names, and I also hate the idea of making 10-4 special. It's not. Just say "one tenth of one millibitcoin."
1 bitcoin
.001 bit dollar
.0001 bit pennies
or
1 bitcoin
.001 millicoin
.0001 microcoin?

Microcoin is a horrible idea, since micro implies 10-6.
Alright, I still like my names better than 'millibitcoin' though.
Bitcoin/Bit/Satoshi is the way to go. Each range of 4 decimal places will cover 10,000 units, which is easy to remember, and the names are easy to say. And look at this beautiful little thing below. You can express this whole naming scheme in two lines!
1 Bitcoin = 10,000 Bits
1 Bit = 10,000 Satoshis
Simplicity. Marketability. Roll-off-the-tongue-ness.

I like this, but the amounts wouldn't make sense to people in terms of most transactions, buying a coffee would cost 100 bits ?
Well, shit why not? Certainly at least 100 units of value can be extrapolated from a cup of coffee, right? maybe 10 units for the cup, 10 units for the water, 50 units for energy consumption, 30 units for service.
It's considered a small purchase, so it's kind of a clusterfrack for most people to call it 100 of a currency, therefore we need something like 'bitdollars' or 'bitpennies' that represent 100 of them.
Then again if we ever reach the point where people regularly buy coffee with bitcoin around the world, maybe 10 bits will really be what it takes to buy a coffee.
Yes.

Such a difficult decision!
When said aloud "3 bits" as apposed to "3 bitskis", bit ended up sounding the best. Reminds me of a 'buck'. 3 bits, 3 bucks.

3 bits just sounds so plain though, and can be confused with 3 tits!

+1
We have a winner?
+1 for Bits and Satoshis

This. 1/100 and 1/10000 are not typical units used in science - everything is 1000 based not 100 based. It's confusing. We should just stick to BTC and satoshi and metric units derived from this exactly like the above. This poll has no meaning or official recognition and will go nowhere.
