Bits. And use the kebab π
Sats is a dumb name, IMO, but it follows what we already know, such as dollars and cents. We've been able to figure that out.
Zaps the standard.
i have a theoretical question tho, what if one day someone created an nip for l-btc donation / tipping on nostr. how should we call it then? haha
Great name.
Satoshi = whole BTC
Sats = little BTC
It won't be a Zap. Hmm. A Splash? π¦
yeah that sounds cool tbh
"yo, did you zap or splash me?"
totally an understandable theoretical communication on Nostr π€£.
Some men just want to watch the world burns
Would make #walletofsatoshi a fraud instantly because everybody new would think they can get Bitcoin for free.
That would be the right answer to your question.
How would that be than on #NOSTR
Like:
"Look dudes, @ODELL zapped me 42 bitcoins!"
come on @Wallet of Satoshi
I like your App
but...
seriously???
Bad idea. It is a homage to the creator and sending .00000001 bitcoin to someone is stupid
No no no
Bad idea...
ATROCIOUS.
Singular "bitcoin" for the whole unit. "bitcoins" is Boomer shit no matter which level of denomination we're talking about.
Plural "sats" for the fractional unit. It just sounds cool.
bitcoins is fine, donβt be a zoomer.
"It's raining, there's waters on my window."
"Ah, I love hiking, breathe in those fresh airs!"
"Ug, the beach, I have sands in my shoes."
that must have broken you, to write those three sentences

No Sir.
1BTC = 1BTC
1BTC > 1sat
π
If this is 1...
What is 2??! π€π€£
Sats are actually bitcoins
But those with Adjustment Disorders like most older people with conservative values, and even younger ones with AS, HFA, or ASD have full-on adjustment disorders too and will react violently when faced with sudden, unwanted change so it's something to deal with, because only calmer minds make better decisions
But bitcoins are literally, COINS
The full amount should have been SATOSHI or to make it ungeneric-sounding, call it satomoto, satoshimo, whichever sounds nice
they're already having it with dollars => sats
Nice troll guys

highly regarded
Is this a joke?
In case not, no!! definitely not... way too confusing!
imo Good idea in long term. there is no such thing as a whole bitcoin
but I like sats more, it sounds cool and very cypherpunk
No benefits. Only downsides. Why even have this idea?
I think people will look at Bitcoiners with confusion when they say "1 whole bitcoin = 100 million bitcoins"
The term bitcoin would ideally be applied to a unit with a sane value. As it stands a lot of people think of bitcoin as expensive when that is a completely arbitrary valuation. Right now 1 sat is too small to be the standard unit, and 1 bitcoin is too big.
I think Adam Back has the right idea and in the near future we'll be pricing bitcoin by the bit (0.00000100 btc) and this will eventually become the unit that laypeople mean when they say bitcoin. Sometime around the point that 1 sat == $0.01.
It's a logical transition for people to think of sats as cents and bits as dollars.
Hell no! is what I think.
We don't need MORE confusion.
We have enough with the "bitcoin the asset" and "Bitcoin the network" nonsense.
sats are sats - bitcoins are bitcoins so big hell no from urantia
No!
That ship has sailed IMHO. Sats it is.
Nostr and Lightning is the reason I dig Sats as a unit.
sats is better. in sankrit , sat mean truth, unchangeable..
The downside is no one can tell how much Bitcoin you are talking about. "Would you be interested in selling your car for two bitcoins?" The scammers will have so much fun with your idea.
I dig it. one tenth of any amount of gold is still gold. why would the same standard not apply to bitcoin?
