Topic: [POLL] End the 'bit' controversy: What to (nick)name 100 Satoshi / 1 µXBT - page 3. (Read 7723 times)

Why don't you add "bit" like multiple people have asked?

The only reason you would not is that you know it would win the vote. Prove me wrong.

If people want a nickname for it, saying 100 sats seems quite logical.

I like a 'finney', to honor Hal Finney.

It's related to the early days of bitcoin development.
And it sounds good.

Who needs a (nick)name for 100 Satoshi?

100 Satoshi are simply 100 Satoshi. Bitcoin for the full unit and Satoshi for the smallest fraction are the only names we need. These are established by natural use.

Besides that OP's options are total crap.

ya.ya.yo!

I know my list doesn't have many options but those are the names i have seen around, if you have any suggestions feel free to place them.

I wanted to put in a vote, but I don't like any of the options.
Since bit is fine for me, but it could also be something else, as long as it is not something from your short and inappropriate list.

I think xi would be the best, all the others are too similar.

As has been pointed out before, you don't seem to know what the word 'consensus' means. You don't have the consensus of the community. All you can claim is a majority of the minority that bothered to vote.


Maybe this is part of the problem. At this point in time, whatever we end up calling a unit for 100 satoshis is irrelevant - it is such a tiny amount that it has no real-world applicability. When the unit gets useful, a consensus will emerge - affected folk will finally take an interest in the topic.

100 satoshis (or 100 satosh).

Thanks.

I don't know about the other poll - I didn't follow the link. But your poll excludes known preferred choices, and includes superfluous inline editorial commentary. I have no training in scientific polling, but I am pretty sure that both of these are no-nos.

Plus, no option for 'pie'. Mmmmm... pie.

Your desperation is slightly sad.

Get over it man. You can call bitcoin whatever you like. Other people just disagree with you. It's ok.

you think my poll is rigged while your poll has the options:

use 1 bitcoin
use 0.001 bitcoin
use 0.000001 bitcoin AND name it bit

how is that not rigged?

My poll is to use 0.0000001 and vote for the name. Bit and µBTC are both banned from the poll, but you can enter trillions of other names. The reasons why Bit and µBTC are banned have been discussed to death allready, i suggest you read up on it.

Again, people did not vote for the NAME bit, they voted for the AMOUNT of µBTC, and the fact that you rigged you poll to name the unit a bit doesn't prove anything.


The name 'bit' is not innovative. The name 'satoshi' was. There's no one in the forums (even newbies) who ask 'what is a satoshi and how much is it worth', but there are many people who don't know what a bit is and how much is it worth. And, even more dangerously, people disagree on how much a bit is worth.

also, 'ubit' is just as catchy in my opinion and not nearly as confusing. and mikes and mills are very similar to cents and mills are ACTUALLY in use in currency as well.  https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_(currency)

The whole point of naming the amount of µBTC with a catchy name was to promote bitcoin to newcomers and avoid confusion. 'Bit' has, in the short period of time were people used it, already proven to FAIL at that job. While either of the names provided in the poll (and in my opinion ESPECIALLY ubit, mills and mikes) are perfect for the job, they're catchy and immediately obvious to even the freshest newcomer.

there were weeks of discusswion and polls.. long before this one:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1000000-bits-1-bitcoin-future-proofing-bitcoin-for-common-usage-vote-592691

and then after the lengthy and endless mini polls and debates. the link above is the final result that meant to have been the end of the saga..

now some A*holes are bringing it up again. but this time being biased a*holes perposefully ignoring bit..

the failure of these a*holes is their biased and rigged voting. without looking at the previous polls or debates to have a truly open vote. thats why im pissed off with them dragging up something that has already been debated to death which already had a larger vote winner compared to anything the bitcoin foundation have had or anything else that had been voted on in the past.

infact more people prefer bit.. then prefer pedofiles in the bitcoin foundation
infact more people voted for bit.. then the total voters of the foundation. meaning more people care about bit, then they do about the foundation.

so review the history and realise that endlessly going in circles is not getting anything solved. the consensus has decided on bit, with a over 70% vote..

now lets just use it and move on with other projects. there is no point spending months debating names and never using them. thats just delaying innovation.

first of all there's not a majority of people who disagree, it only looks like currently a 'bit' is used widely on reddit as the most common nickname. However there is much controversy on the name.

Also, the people that 'disagree' with me come with arguments like: "but 100 satoshi need a name so we can divided a bit in 100 satoshi" which is NOT an argument for the name, but an argument for the unit itself.

Also, why is this poll valid, and the one i posted is not?

The poll i made is to find alternatives for the word 'bit' that is not controversial and not confusing.


this is exactly what i mean, people just want a name for the unit but they believe 'bit' is the only available name. My goal is just to show that 'bit' is not the only possible name and there are much better names out there.

Also, a bitcent would be 0.01BTC and not 0.00000001BTC (which is called a satoshi)


wrong, the community voted for NAMING the unit µBTC but there never was a poll on WHAT the name should be. And this poll is there to do just that. You are blaming me for skewing a poll while you did exactly just that. I am just repairing the damage you caused. And i'm definitely not the only one who thinks this:

Below this line are some quotes

(yet another argument for the UNIT, not for the NAME)








From reddit:

(this is the top comment) http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1rmto3/its_bits/






also, there was a thread about this years ago, but they never managed to actually find a name other than µBTC apperantly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_(currency)

A*holes...  please stop making new poll. this is like the bitcoin foundation re voting and revoting until finally they get a pedofile voted in..

it does no good for anyone..

the community has already voted bit as being over 70% winner out of over 500 voters.. so unless you are offering any brand new names stop making newpolls that are all the same old idea's but simply and with huge biases ignoring 'bit'.

Bit

1 millionth of a bitcoin = a bit.
100 millionth of a bitcoin = a cent or a bit cent.

In my opinion this is the most appropriate solution for the average person.

Stop pushing your agenda onto people Zimmah.

Oh come on dude!

This poll is worthless since you decided on your own that "bit" is not viable even though most people disagree with you.

You make a pole specifically where "bit" is not an option simply because you know that this is the case.

Have some honour man.
