Lol.  Most parasitic altcoin ever!

Still, sounds like fun.  I might give it a go.

Thanks!  "Most parasitic altcoin ever" – might work as a slogan for us.

I recall that at some point last year, I submitted the term "zub" for 100 satoshi.  This was based in looking for ISO currency codes for Bitcoin (XBT) and the problems some legacy financial software would have with more than 2 decimals.  With the established need for non-clashing currency codes for mBTC and uBTC, I suggested XMB and XUB, the latter naturally looking as though it ought to be pronounced "zub".

That's a nice sound, too! I hadn't seen your suggestion last year, but someone had mentioned 'zub' from the same XUB currency-code reasoning on one of the recent zibcoin reddit threads. (Was that you?)

Overall, I'm pretty confident that I'll ultimately continue with "mills" and "mikes".

Sure, just give 'zib' a few fair trials to see if it resonates better than the "mikes"/"microbits"/"crobits"/"eubits"/etc... which of course all can be used interchangeably.
