I say we replace 'bits' (which is already defined here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit as the most basic unit of computing) with 'Hals' in memory of Hal Finney.

I'm no fan of the name 'bits', (e.g. "how many bits per bit is that?") BUT I think it's too late - and I won't be getting pulled into that debate.  And there's no reason why the name and symbol need to combine.  After all, dollar doesn't start with S (as in $) and neither Sterling nor Pound start with an L (as in £).
