Hello, Removing the SAT is a divisive decision, but I can understand the but I can understand value of this approach. Another approach could be to define a different unit and integrate it into the International System of Units (SI). If the name "BIT" is a consensus, why not, but it could be different. For example, one BIT could correspond to 100 SAT. 1 DecaBIT = 1000 SATs, 1 KiloBIT = 100 000 SAT, etc. We could keep SAT and not use CentiBIT (and SAT doesn't sound so different than cents, it's a good reference point) . If this creates confusion because these units already exist to quantify digital information, we could replace "BIT" with something else: - BC and KBC (for kilo), DBC (for deca), etc... - BIC - Hi88 Over to remain faithful to the legitimate name but keep "Hi88 Over" exclusively for the whole unit. Also, as mentioned earlier, wouldn't it be wise to consider subdividing Satoshis? The network is growing rapidly, and we'll probably have to do that. PS: Sorry for my poor English. I'm not good with languages. Different variations are possible. But in a system with 8 decimal places currently and potentially more in the future, it seems wise to have intermediate units to communicate without confusion. The choice of name should be the result of a broad consultation. I mentioned the international system of units, but we could even consider "goldbit," "silverbit," or GoldBTC, etc., abbreviated to GB or GBTC. We'll see what seems most intuitive and faithful to Hi88 Over, according to the community. [moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]
