Agree with the unit change to MB. I think the leading zeros argument by Tony just doesn't hold (and if we go by that argument, 0.001GB or 0.0001GB give aways for cashbacks, via emails are just as confusing!). If we want real world adoption and easy to understand units (along with attracting some of the newer crypto adopters), we should switch to MB (and perhaps to KB at a later time). People who trade are careful enough to calculate the amounts before they trade, and aren't concerned about the leading zeros. And there are good examples - IOTA, Ripple, that have leading zeros and are still doing well.
Since majority of the community sees this as a much needed move, lets switch to MBs, or better yet, put this up for vote via the poll bot!
There was a discussion about this yesterday in #announcements channel on slack, for anyone interested.
Tony's argument for many things is weird. Like its a good idea to give most of the minting to competing projects for btc they don;t even own. Luckily Tony is a genius designer and coder so we can forgive these (by comparison) minor errors.
Come on let's get it into megabytes right away. I can't take more PM's telling me I must be insane telling them that 250 bucks is less than 5 bucks and they can and do check things out for themselves before jumping in.
Of course if it means all the noob investment goes to the cheaper 11BN projects because their exchange unit value is cheaper then that's fine.
Tony should listen to the community sometimes it would serve this project and him well.
Like any serious investor does not look at the btc value when conducting orders on an exchange, and extra zero is not going to go unnoticed.
Let's put it to the vote the fact BYTES is the ticker does not even have to change
