If Bitcoin grows to become widespread, we need a very easy, comfortable name - nothing techy like "uBTcents". Bleh.

I think something like "minicoins" would be perfect. Your Starbucks latte will cost perhaps 15 minicoins.

I've been seeing a lot of discussion about smaller units of BTC, so I decided to make a poll to see what the consensus is, if there is one, about the name of the smallest unit possible with the current software.
