The accepted standard at least in the US is currency-symbolamountmodifier, i.e. $63k or $3M. As you said, that's in the US, and I strongly suspect the sole reason is that in the US the currency symbol is written in front of the amount. I often pronounce $10k as ten kilodollar, using it exactly like a SI-prefix. The much better argument against SI prefixes is that the prefixes for values less than 1 tend to be much less well known: Most people know that kilo means 1000, many know that mega means 1,000,000, but few know that micro means 0.001, and those that do tend to confuse micro and nano.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] BIP0071 media type registration with IANA
Am 2014-04-26 22:17, schrieb Mike Hearn: Bitcoin is not a vendor, so I doubt that would work. By my interpretation of RFC 6838, the Bitcoin Foundation or even Gavin himself could register a vendor tree for Bitcoin. In the case of the foundation registering, getting the subtree named vdn.bitcoin should be no problem. I doubt we should spend any time on this. The chance of a string collision is extremely low. The current mime types are fine. It's mostly about the good feeling of having followed the rules and proper procedures, I doubt that there is a difference in practice -- Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform ___ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development

So the actual cost of the phone is lower than the real price on the assumption of future revenue. Alice double spends (aka steals) the phone, paying double the artifically lower cost but still making a good saving. Bob does not end up with nothing, he ends up in the red. Nearly every payment system in existence has this problem: you have to be able to enforce the contract out-of-band. The scenario you describe is no worse than a payment network with instant, secure confirmations because Alice could just as well refuse to make the second payment. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTWUYdAAoJEBrvn3PsoRcmT28QAJNbxjLRPYvkIfizeHoAFRH2 pNfd9458/AECJ6muGAs+tYeDw9uhYMVPnbMLZOwzgPl8HE5NN9XbGjCpwpNzsEK4 a8zb5CsonBh+xBNgbx1CIjCNYYQLd2qmgxMVaH4R7VWS+DgVBjfKq5MnM0vdSNcw SSzb9dMEjgl1cOZa07CG4GuPwEUIFiCVygjYSrGP2E8qCepKvH+0webIXk7COqZK SyhTdhS+dsdgGW5Mm8cA8zIVPaWYXMo88kOq2S4fIs5HiWtnVXQ9ljJ4r2Py1SEO H3u4lMWc7Hu0PUW6b6K+uDQfyJtRNi0diJSswseA37v6BeQW4zYMNfL40AsnG+Fv MusJFtBqHzXKhAeE/zpwi5QWs/qHvRYlETifIMKMrQldssDJo15ed/M8wNCZRobv Q7K3XKOt228nUUP2FrZl1I4wGWwkBMpzP89t8HMrTZYV2EFWqE+lu9oXcEjz9k12 64UXiWXU0jRAhMiCAvQUL7fKaOb9TXfGPy+3+bZOAtKM5M582+0d94EObA67SBsm O4H5vLTwS041x1cndW0NDxDbtM+IAuu2Jorzqzcie3ld7cqsKAyDbSk3i1C7zQzG hvI6FxIy0n6GA9ciw8RM44Q4zPVxYQ4e/MMby9ko7otmL5HLlOCnOUmJ/JHn+QJG Z7MDRkKAslLUUEqzgQWb =HNO6 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform ___ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
Re: [Bitcoin-development] bits: Unit of account
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I agree that a unit based on 1e-6 BTC is easier to use in practice than BTC. The name microbitcoin is ok-ish. Nearly all countries officially use the SI-system, but that doesn't mean that the average citizen knows all the SI prefixes. Mega, kilo and milli are universally understood, micro not so much. This is a serious accessibility concern. But I dislike the term bit for the already stated reasons: It's already used in various languages for various things. Simply using Satoshis may be easier and is universally understood. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTVAgZAAoJEBrvn3PsoRcmWYgP/0JMXmJjzdBFBQscl3+yA987 4zD+W+7o/wPqRmtCU9voJ1PFj9zM6zagHAz455wjnF4IwdgYZjqtadyfxgP5Mg8p WGoplGQPWJ5KorsQfbiJP8uTOfTzJK5p6Aw9DwscN4aBjCMaHskvyWGVpE8U7ibQ Pk+a6lX1UUOnjm/G7v5UDKFSlUGAe0GCTnI8FDjxAfF8mzS9XzMSPCfbZfoc7eEx F7yKkAQGZCDJKP4y6oenj4CGXn100KSZEmombNQ7PeOEwqcKsd1RgPtHWTZzb0Ya hk2sSnEEt05uwyYsGRnb1EYUwiSS/6sgT9m7fU3bpFf3dWqGuMweSVuGgCTMPrRb 3ei18TJAI59lF/du5zbhQOujpNx/ocmf538hcpFkqaM3RTpeXifaSAefp37S5Zbq xw013M5T55SmJZYQwdWTFA689kvmOT1N33ht2QtSszl6ZJDFOrwICdcIqMsS6a0a cGcigi2Ru4M9J7w7wk448ky22Z8VjZrKTQFqhiKzoRk2t0N/SQbKSFKCm7ffsAB/ 7EGB9cA3va5ZFBnDAae84Vj0RAMJDHYO7VZIg/mF5qNs8YWs6okQoeJ8FMfNAhW2 pDgZdJfl46lnzfQvgiV/jAMkFr/oSj0UZUPAWXbaGcAm3ZFNO4B0SgNB2VYUfLIe VNW1pzTKiwL83RjNTGfV =EPvS -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
