What happened to the cann cann/smidgen/delta etc. contest. was there a winner decided?

No one contacted me showing any interest in holding one. From memory you suggested "smidgen" but no one backed your proposal. ciscoPT offered "crystals" but no one backed that either. Since that was the sum total of responses when I asked if the community wanted a competition no competition was ever set up.

There is historical precedent for "nanocoin", at least in the java implementation of bitcoin and its derivatives.

From bitcoin/core/utils.java:

Quote

/**
* How many "nanocoins" there are in a Bitcoin.
*

   * A nanocoin is the smallest unit that can be transferred using Bitcoin.
   * The term nanocoin is very misleading, though, because there are only 100 million
   * of them in a coin (whereas one would expect 1 billion.
   */

At present it looks like that could be the nomenclature used even though it is not technically correct (probably why bitcoin adopted "satoshis"). "MicroCent" could work, I suppose, given that cents and micros are already defined in the code.

It is common to receive demands for action and results but it is dreadfully difficult to get reasoned feedback from the community. This is terribly disappointing, to say the least.
