Topic: Name the 0.0001 BTC unit - Final Poll - page 4. (Read 6880 times)
bit is far too generic (even my username uses it) and it has the wrong meaning in this context.
1 bip = 0.0001 BTC - 37 (24%)
1 bit = 0.0001 BTC - 41 (26.6%)
1 finney = 0.0001 BTC - 38 (24.7%)
1 nakamoto = 0.0001 BTC - 38 (24.7%)
Wow ! so close !

If you think "nakamoto" would stick as a name, you're sorely mistaken. 4 syllables, really? Look at all the slang for money: Cash, bucks, bill, bread, roll, brick, etc etc. Nakamoto would easily become "Nak" or "Naka" within a year, provided it received wide-spread adoption. Save Nakamoto for .00000000001 bitcoin when it becomes divisible as such.
tidBIT OR hobBIT lol 
I like the idea of sticking to Japanese names. Maybe on the next naming poll we might see a Miku or a Moe 
I voted 1 Nakamoto because eventually that will just be called a Naka
Yes, that's right! I think "bitcoin" may eventually shortens to "bit".
So it would be silly to call 0.0001btc "bit" again
Oh darn, shoulda voted for Finney... The basic point was made about the 6th decimal point needing to be the Naka before the Satoshi in the 7th decimal point. Missed that! Doh!
I voted 1 Nakamoto because eventually that will just be called a Naka, and I really like that... Just sounds cool like an Cockney Londoner saying 2 bob please Gov, except for more Bladerunneresque.
I like the term Finny because it is respectful of the early history of bitcoin, and therefore a valuable reason to use it.
All the other terms have a feel of being smart arse and I doubt would be used by real users in years to come.

bit bitcoin is the first one right now and I think it's suitable,Of course this depend on people and if they will or won't use that term as this isn't so official I guess.
no matter what the poll results, I predict finney will catch on in practice
+1

Wow, "nakamoto" is catching up to "bit" real fast!
It's actually in the lead now.

Whatever you come up with it needs to be able to ring to the ear as well as:
'one dollar fifteen cents' does or
'two euros fifty' or
'ten pounds and twenty five pence'.
In other words you need two quantities ie dollars and cents/pounds and pence which work together verbally.
You can't possibly have something priced in a shop at 'one millibitcoin and thirty five microbitcoins'. It's absurd.
Neither can you have something priced at 'point zero zero zero two three one bitcoins.'
Check-out girls are not going to like it.

1 BTC = 1 bich?
(rhymes with itch)
1 bitch? I don't think that would be the best idea. (rhymes with itch)
I think “finney” is the only reasonable option, because both “bit” and “bip” are confusing, and “nakamoto” refers to the same person that already has a unit (“satoshi”, obviously). I've never seen anywhere that a person gets two units named after them.
