Topic: Name the 0.0001 BTC unit - 1st POLL - page 5. (Read 5136 times)

Do we really have to give names to all 8 decimal points? I thought bitcoin was supposed to make our lives easier .....

"Shave and a haircut, two bits"

A bit is about 12.5 cents in US money before the decimal system did away with it. Prior to that, one bit was 1/8th of a Spanish dollar. See pieces-of-eight.

When bitcoin peaked, 0.0001 btc would have been on par with the US bit.

+1000

There were a few really good ones and none of them are in the poll?

Not keen on any of them really, I would prefer grambit as a viable name, none of these here are easy to the ear.

All bad - just stick with 0.0001

how about a "bleiber"   

+ 100

1 Nakamoto could be shorted to 1 Nak or 1 Naka just like 1 Satoshi will probably be shortened to 1 Sat.

Disclosure:  I am talking my own book 

Bitski, braski!!

I also like minicoin and maybe littleshit, I mean littlebit (funny!).

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.

The contest to propose a name for the 0.0001 BTC unit continues! Details below....

Please read carefully:

The name list in the poll is set in stone. The primary criteria that held sway was the number of recommendations (including duplicate or similar submissions) for each name, followed by terseness and marketability. That said, I thought some of the suggestions that didn't make the cut were pretty good, but these to some degree or another seemed to spark more interest from the community.

So... please go ahead and vote for whichever name you feel is "best", based on your own personal criteria/preferences/etc. You also get a second vote if you want to throw your weight behind another name in case your first choice doesn't get into the final four (I strongly recommend doing so.) Note that you will not be able to change your votes! Feel free to comment on the choices, or to make the case for one choice over others. As usual, please stay on topic, etc.

Voting will be closed and the thread locked at 23:59:59 CST (GMT-6) on Wednesday, January 8. Shortly thereafter the final poll presenting the final four names will be posted. The final four will be chosen from the highest-voted names that are not found to be obviously flawed (see first thread for examples.)

One final thought: keep in mind that a name for the unit wouldn't necessarily be used as-is; variations of it, or even abbreviations or prefixes derived from it could just as well take hold.

With that, we're off. May the best name win!
