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.)
So, is this 10e-8 blackcoins? I like Ratoshis as well.
For bitcoin, bits is 10e-6, or microbitcoins. That will be their main unit going forward for buying small things, so that it costs several thousand bits to buy something, not 0.004 or whatever. It also means that people buying small amounts of bitcoin are buying thousands of bits and not thinking that it's too expensive because they don't want to buy a fraction of something.
If blackcoin began to be successful, we could copy that and have microblackcoins as blacks. Blacks is much cooler term than bits for everyday currency usage.
