A "dirty bit"

That don't need a name.

I can't beleive no one's hit this one yet...
Since it's a digital currency my mind warps right back to the original Tron (I'm such a geek) where everything was "bits" and "bytes", therefore everything that is a sub-BitCoin is a Byte or ByteCoin.

But a Byte is made up of 8 bits soooo this makes no sense for the geeks among us. When talking bits and bytes...bits are smaller.
On another note we can refer to 8 BTC as a BYTE!!!! 1024 BTC = a KILOBYTE etc. etc. Bet no one thought of that yet!
Millionnaires and billionnaires will be replaced with Bytennaires and Kilobytennaires LoL Can't wait to see who becomes the world's first Megabytennaire (1,048,576 BTC)
You got math in my geek logic.
~I know the mathematical breakdown doesn't add up (ha) but I was going for more of the asthetic of the naming convention. I was trying to avoid the 8 sub decimal naming schemes that keeps cropping up. Interesting and well thought out as they may be, but for the mainstream to get on board I would think that we need to keep it with a "dollars & cents" mindset.
It will make the assimilation....errr...I mean..."migration" process, of the average users a bit easier if it's in a format they can already identify with. Therefore, Bits and Bytes.

LittleBit and the Nanogroschen idea sounds great. 
What about Coint, Bent, Boint or Bint?
It's a mixture of Cent and BitCoin,
If the time comes when botnets are mining all coins we can honor this by naming the smallest unit: BotCoin.

screw 10 nanobits. what about 10,000 picobits or 10,000,000 femtobits. That sounds like a shitload of money!

A buttcoin because all it's good for is wiping your ass with.
Not even! This is where the dollar is better. (makin' straws, giving off heat while burning, and wiping your ass with!)

+1 for this one also, My Girlfriend explained it to me...

An Octbit...
+1 on that but i personally think it sounds way better as "Octobit". "Bit" is obvious to be used and "Octo" stand for the eight sign after the decimal point. June 24, 2011, 06:42:26 PM
An E-Zevanbit... E7, Easy7, Easyvan-bit
OMG This is just too funny

1 BTC = Bitcoin
0.01 BTC = Knob
0.001 BTC = Pube
0.000001 BTC = Fried Egg
0.00000001 BTC = Hamster
I'm sure we can all agree?

Microcent.
1 BTC = Bitcoin, commonly called "Big bit"
0.01 BTC = Bitcent (practical today)
0.001 BTC = Millibit (future de facto unit)
0.000001 BTC = Microbit (more futuristic)
0.00000001 BTC = Microcent
1 BTC = Bitcoin, commonly called "Big bit"

When I think about it, it actually is a bit confusing to call it 10 nBTC when there is (currently) no smaller unit. It's impossible in the current system to have just 1 nBTC...
So yeah, 0.01 µBTC (or uBTC if your keyboard doesn't have an AltGr press for that) sounds nicer.

0.01 µBTC: Microcent or Microbitcent
or my favorit: 10 nBTC: Nanogroschen (speak it Nanogroshn)
For english speaking people the latter one would be somewhat like a Nanodime but that's not that good because dime comes from disme = 1/10.
