If there's community momentum around\n\"bits\", great.\n\nMy only addition is that I think we should all stop trying to attach SI\nprefixes to the currency unit. Name me another world currency that uses SI\nprefixes. No one quotes amounts as 63 k$ or 3 M$. The accepted standard at\nleast in the US is \u003ccurrency-symbol\u003e\u003camount\u003e\u003cmodifier\u003e, i.e. $63k or $3M.\nThat may not be accepted form everywhere, but in any case it's an informal\nformat, not a formal one. The important point is there should be one base\nunit that is not modified with SI prefixes. And I think the arguments are\nstrong for that unit being = 100 satoshi.\n\nBen\n\n\n\n\nOn Fri, May 2, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Jeff Garzik \u003cjgarzik at bitpay.com\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e \u003cvendor hat: on\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e Related:\n\u003e http://blog.bitpay.com/2014/05/02/bitpay-bitcoin-and-where-to-put-that-decimal-point.html\n\u003e\n\u003e --\n\u003e Jeff Garzik\n\u003e Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist\n\u003e BitPay, Inc.      https://bitpay.com/\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e \"Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE\n\u003e Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
