has there been some discussion about what we should call the smallest unit of BC? like BTC has satoshi's, or bits (as some want it to be named). Do we have an equivalent for BlackCoin? Do we need one?

The two leading schools of thought on this are as follows:

Blacktoshi - an obvious choice, and most people would easily be able to mentally connect the two.

Ratoshi - Named after rat4, much like the Satoshi is named after Satoshi Nakamoto-- I personally use this one, although the mental leap is a bit harder from BlackCoin to Ratoshi, but so is Bitcoin and Satoshi.

I personally think it would be an amazing way to immortalize rat4, much like Satoshi is immortalized via BTC. However, I do think it would be cool if we held an online poll for a week or two, and solidified so we are all on the same page. (Also this was not my way of volunteering to run a poll.)

I'd say get out of Bitcoin reference and call them "Rats". I agree let's run a poll.


Love it,
Ratoshis
Rats

Run a Poll, but I think it is safe to say which will win.
