Title: Divisions of a Goldcoin
Post by: Bubba on November 29, 2013, 11:38:37 PM

Hi Everyone, first post. I like goldcoin.

I'm sure we all know the divisions of a bitcoin by now (smallest fraction being a satoshi), but what are the divisions of goldcoin?

To be blunt about it, I hope the names are better than the names used by bitcoin :)

Damn good question bubba.  I don't think anyone has even thought about it.  Damn good question!

Anyone have any thoughts?  I have a gold nugget as a trademark for .1 GLD.  Lol

I was chomping at the bit (checking my email) waiting for forum acceptance to post that one.

Congrats on the code release. That's major. Cryptsy is trading goldcoin. Looking at the market cap, and current difficulty to mine, it seems well positioned to grow to large enough to offer a real alt-ernative.

(...did you see what I did there?)

100,000 GoldCoins is a golden shower.   Hahahahahahaha!  Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Don't knock it. It's a start!
I think a nugget needs to be near the goldcoin as nuggets can be quite large. There's flakes, carats, grains, troys, and a few others that don't seem so suitable (e.g penny).

I agree.  I just don't think we'll ever use "golden shower".  Lol

Hey, man...I think MicroGuy needs to put you in charge of the naming.  I'm being serious.

Nugget
Troy

Or even, this:

Goldcoin
Nugget
Troy
carat
flake
grain
penny (added for familiarity)

Which leads to:

A Goldcoin
A Goldcoin Nugget
A Goldcoin Troy
A Goldcoin Carat
A Goldcoin Flake
A Goldcoin Grain
A Goldcoin Penny

That's it. I'm out! Off to bed!
