We support "bitcoin", "bit(s)" and "satoshi(s)".
Interesting. As of the current vote,
There are only 18 votes for using the name "Bit" for 0.000001 BTC
There are 33 votes for any option other than "Bits" (such as Microbitcoin, Microbit, Mike, or Micro).
And yet people for some reason claim that there is a consensus for the word "Bit" to describe 0.000001 BTC, or that the matter is settled.

You could look at the same data and conclude the only terminology that has more agreement than bits = 10^-6 bitcoins are the terms Satoshi and bitcoin for 10^-8 bitcoins and 1 bitcoin, respectively.
Correct. Bitcoin and Satoshi clearly have majority support with 37 out of 50 voters (74%) and 30 out of 50 voters (60%) respectively.
After that, there are opinions all over the place, with nothing at all gaining majority support. I'm not sure why anyone would think that there was a consensus for any other name.
I would have thought millibits would have more support. Anyhow, I think bits is better than any other term for microbitcoins and I support the move to a 6.2 format.

Which both of those are the original terminology.. thats why I believe that we should just keep the original.

Because there's a handful of people that formed a cult around bits much like dogecoin. It has become a meme almost. They even have fancy drawings now....
That shit really has to stop
im gonna be conservative and say we just stay with the names that are already in place on the wiki for bitcoin... the names on there make so much more sense then some of the goofy and childish names some forum members are proposing.

No longer possible to vote? I agree with bitcoin, bits and satoshis... The new bitcoin logo could be used for bits and the old one for bitcoins. Satoshis have no logo because he's hidden.
It should still be possible to vote. I'll close the poll when we reach ~100 votes, but if that's too high, I might close it earlier.

I agree with Bitcoin (not bitcoins), and Bits for 100 satoshis. It would help us a lot to at least have these 3 decided on.
BTC0.0006 is the only new unit worth naming.
kind of true due to the satoshi dust limit not allowing for anything smaller...
but there no point naming temporary measures such as micro or 0.0006 when in a few years it will all change.. so this is why the endless discussion of atleast 9 months now has pretty much all agred to the 100satoshi being a nice round figure to name, which will be a long term thing. rather then the temporary stuff inbetweeen 100sat and 1btc
BTC0.0006 is the only new unit worth naming.
Oh good another one of these threads. 
Something metric based works. Terms will be popularized and adopted on their own.

Good and useful results so far. A lot of insight into what people really feel about units, since there is so much debate about this. I'll let this poll run for a few more days before posting a reflection.
minus 1
not alot of insight.. only 37 voters so far!!!!!
That's enough for statistically significant results. We can say with 99.9% certainty, for example, that Bitcoin-bong is a widely undesired unit. Obviously more voters is better, but it's pointless to dismiss these results entirely.

It is quite shocking to me though that even terms like 'microbitcoin' have less than 50% acceptance. I mean it's just a metric prefix to bitcoin. Are there that many Americans here on bitcointalk or something?
What about yardbitcoin and bitcoinounce?

So far only Bitcoin and Satoshi in it's original sense have majority approval.
It turns out that after all the awkward standardization attempts, most people still choose sanity. The majority does not see any need for additional artificially introduced units. Introducing additional units as official standards has no benefit and only adds confusion.
ya.ya.yo!
