Maybe bitcoin should split (like a stock).
- wladimir 14y agoIt is already possible to select mBTC (1/1,000) and μBTC (1/1,000,000) units in the client. That should be sufficient, at least for now. For nBTC (1/1,000,000,000) the 8 digits in the protocol are no longer enough, thus some more work will be necessary. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- aet 14y agoThanks, didn't know that
- pjurik2 14y agoThere are rumors[1] that MtGox will be announcing Litecoin and Namecoin support this week, which may alleviate things. (Litecoin has four times the number of mine-able coins that Bitcoin has and its proponents refer to it as the silver to Bitcoin's gold.) [1] Based on their API responding to LTC/USD requests (http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/LTCUSD/money/ticker http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/LTCUSD/money/ticker) and some Twitter chatter.
