Didn't 80% of the forum already agree to move to bits?

Stop with the asinine polls people, we've already reached a consensus.

The other polls were about how to call this unit in colloquial language.
However, this poll is about how to call it in Bitcoin Core.

These are two entirely different realms.
Bitcoin Core is expected to have a high degree of security and accuracy.
You wouldn't expect to find a colloquial term there.

As a comparison: Would you expect to see the word "bucks" in GNU Cash??
If the answer is "no", then there shouldn't be the word "bits" in Bitcoin Core.

You may call them "bits"/"bucks", though. Wink
