"only a proposal"

"Please note that the contents of this page is only a proposal, and in no way an official standard; at the time of writing it's not even all that popular."

• Units are an objective measure; the cyan units are defined by SI, and the green by Tonal
• As far as application to BitCoin, there is no such thing as "official", as it is an authorityless system

Until tonal system is not widely used (at least it will be used by more than 1 person), it is rather confusing than useful to mention such units (even as proposal). So I simplify page to only units that is used. Aleš Janda (talk) 23:59, 26 August 2012 (GMT)

Perhaps two pages are necessary, a Units_SI and a Units_Tonal and then a Units disambiguation page? - Sgornick (talk) 04:36, 13 November 2012 (GMT)

• The colours work just fine for that. Aleš Janda doesn't seem to do anything but vandalise. --Luke-jr (talk) 02:24, 25 November 2012 (GMT)

Bugs

The tonal column contains many unprintable characters (Firefox on Ubuntu 12.10). What are they supposed to mean? --Goonie (talk) 16:37, 5 April 2013 (GMT)

• They're high-bit tonal digits, so they require a tonal-compatible font. Here is one that I made to fix with the Luxi Mono font family. --Luke-jr (talk) 16:43, 5 April 2013 (GMT)

User friendly subunit

We need a user friendly bitcoin subunit. The users usually use currencies with two decimal positions, so the proposal is to use the 1e6 subunit to have this two decimal positions. The proposal for the name of this unit is microcoin where 1 bitcoin = 1,000,000.00 microcoins. We need also a symbol for this subunit, the proposal is to use the symbol whith unicode \u289 and html code ʉ What do you think about?
