Whatever the unit is for daily transactions it should just be called "Coin". That seems to be a fairly popular way of referring to bitcoins.

Having BTC at one place and mBTC at others is kind of (super) messy, and prone to provoke mistakes.
people who can't do basic units notation shouldn't deal with money, or physics, or chemistry, or electronics, or computer science, or pretty much anything

bullish as fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I switched to BitcoinWisdom a couple months back. Last week I was requesting this same thing, and the owner over there simply said:
"The unit has to be the same as in the exchange" (paraphrasing, can't find the actual post)
It struck me then, he is 100% right. Having BTC at one place and mBTC at others is kind of (super) messy, and prone to provoke mistakes.
We need the exchanges to adopt this change, or we need a Bitcoinity and everyone else to have just a little bit more patience, won't be long now.
I agree 100% though, this is uber bull for marketing and spreading Bitcoin, we need it ASAP.
I just wished the community could pull it off in a more coordinated consensual fashion.
I disagree. This is a not a top-down organization but a peer-to-peer. Everybody can switch when they want to, hopefully soon. Its not very hard to see the m in front of the BTC. Kudos to bitcoinity for being the first!

I don't know. I'm not a dev. 10 cents per transaction is still cheap, but it was a lot cheaper before. Since the price went up 10 times, maybe the transaction fee should lower about 10 times.
But that requires all the miners to upgrade, all the pools to upgrade. ... otherwise anyone who makes a transaction with less than 0.0001 won't get relayed, and won't get confirmed in a timely manner.

If miners are ignoring tx with .00001 fees instead of 0.0001, for example, that is an issue with block size, NOT the standard fee. Miners are incentivized to cram all the fee-paying tx they can into a block, up to the point when it's totally full. THEN - and only then - does it make sense to discriminate by fee amount.
If miners are ignoring tx with non-standard fees for blocks that aren't full, that's ridiculous. They're throwing money away.
Also, totally on board with Comboy's mBTC switch. Love it. Hope the community follows his lead.

Good thing bitcoinity dev is doing something, because the price action is boring...

Wait until the devs lower the transaction fee to less than 0.0001.
We really need that ASAP. Any ETA on this?
Perhaps its in the works.

wow, it's happened.. didn't think it would happen so fast. i was kind of hoping for BTC to run past gold before someone made the switch.. then it would becomes very newsworthy.
