Of course, this can be done individually! In fact, many people already did that.
But that's not the point of this thread.

The question is: What should be the official version, i.e. the version that the upstream developers will distribute?
The answer is: whatever they choose, regardless of what this needless thrashing thinks it concludes.

I don't think it is pointless.

You propose that bitcoin's official developers drop the name btc and make unneeded changes to how a persons bitcoins display.
It will never happen, Bitcoin is btc, no reason to change. It would only serve to confuse people.

This is a totally trivial recompile that can be done right now if you want it, since the client already supports all three units mentioned. All this would be is changing the user interface text.
This thread is pointless.
Bitcoin is open source, If you want those changes make a soft fork yourself.
The changes you desire wouldn't take long.

uBitcoin is cents now. For me is the same as bitcoin in the 100's but with inverted signal(eg, makes the coin seems worthless for being so cheap). Better leave the change for when btc in fact skyrockets.
And mBit and uBit might cause confusion with the quantum computation's qBits, so not sure if it would be a good idea put them as official names.

Seems like a good idea, mBit rolls off the tongue a lot easier than mBTC

Can we please just leave it alone?

That will be the best thing to do as of now. If a consensus can't be reached in the near future (I see no chances), then the status quo must be maintained. So the best solution is to leave it as it is now.

I like how It Is, 1 Bitcoin as a biggest unit and I don't see a problem with It.

Despite the shrill shills, no poll I have seen can claim anything with regard to 'x% of the forum'. Has any of these polls garnered votes from more than 1% of the forum?
Not yet.
But it still can happen. Over time.

Not really, 78% agreed with 1,000,000 bits being 1 BTC. It was not only about the size, but also about the name.

That is completely false. I know, because you are miscounting my vote. Your faction is falsely claiming a consensus where there is none. The majority are opposed to "bit" as the name. We just can't agree on what we prefer.
Exactly! Quoted for truth.
But the question is: Will we find a compromise?

I'd like the Bitcoin Core to switch to mBit as the default Bitcoin unit. uBit is very far away, and pretty much worthless right now. And there is not much difference between a Satoshi and a uBit (just 2 decimals).
May 07, 2014, 03:44:44 AM
as long as µBTC=uBTC=ubit (pronounced you-bit instead of mew bit or mew BTC)
The pronunciation is not written in the source code.
You may pronounce it whatever you want.

No.
Because Math:
If... µBit = µBTC, then Bit = BTC??
Popular consensus:
Bit == µBTC

Didn't 80% of the forum already agree to move to bits?
Stop with the asinine polls people, we've already reached a consensus.
Stop with the asinine polls people, we've already reached a consensus.
The other polls were about how to call this unit in colloquial language.
However, this poll is about how to call it in Bitcoin Core.
These are two entirely different realms.
Bitcoin Core is expected to have a high degree of security and accuracy.
You wouldn't expect to find a colloquial term there.
As a comparison: Would you expect to see the word "bucks" in GNU Cash??
If the answer is "no", then there shouldn't be the word "bits" in Bitcoin Core.
You may call them "bits"/"bucks", though.

i like the use of Bits/ubit
this is an example of taking the things that work in the altcoins (dogecoin quantity numbering psychology) and incorporating it into bitcoin
