do we go with 1bit or give it another name.. i think 1zib is weird and wrong as it has no relevance and looks alien in regards to crypto.
'zib' seems a bit weird because it's new; any made-up word faces that at first.
But made-up words also come with no meaning-collisions they can mean precisely what is chosen and become familiar after a few exposures.
'bit' is always going to create comprehension/abbreviation/search problems, as people try to move between the different senses. (And since the bit-as-binary-digit is the core of the Bitcoin system the binary math that gives the currency its scarcity and security everyone who ever tries to become a Bitcoin expert will face these clashing terms.)
satoshi is a meaning collision and for a good reason. to honour the creator. so it is relevant
zib seems to alien or foreign... i prefer:
1gav - to honour Gavin Andressens years of coding bitcoin protocol
1alp - to honour the first LEGITIMATE business using bitcoin (alpaca socks)
1silk - i dont like this, but atleast it has some relevance, as the notorious site silkroad, that gave bitcoin fame ("any publicity is good publicity")
