so recently I went on this CoinAd site and I got paid 0.11526mBTC what does that mean? is that equal to 0.11526BTC or is mBTC different

Thanks

That's micro bitcoins. 1 mBTC = .001 BTC.
So your 0.11526 mBTC will be 0.00011526 BTC. I had the same experience with CoinAd. I was expecting more, but some is better than none huh?

Actually that's millibitcoins. 1 thousandth of a Bitcoin. ( some call them bitmils and use the symbol BTM )

A microbitcoin would be 1 millionth of a Bitcoin. 1 µBTC = 0.000001 BTC

( That µ is the Greek letter MU and not an English u btw. )

The smallest ( current ) unit of Bitcoin is the satoshi. 1 SAT = 0.00000001 BTC

( an unconfirmed satoshi is called a Dorian Wink

)
