Grin units and unit names

1

A Telegram user recently asked about Grin units, like what they’re called down to the satoshi in Bitcoin. Are there “official” names? I understand the smallest Grin unit is a “nanogrin” (see bottom of page at http://br549.mywebcommunity.org/grin/dev_notes.html).

I feel the smallest unit of Grin should be called an “Igno.” This would be a tip-of-the-cap to the Grin creator, as well as follow the Bitcoin/satoshi precedent. I mentioned this to Ignotus a while back and got a chuckle and thanks from him/her. Sounds official enough.

or maybe an “Ignota” ? although the metric approach is userfriendly… could have both…

I also agree with changing the smallest unit of grin to “Igno”. It shares some aspects of genesis story and charming to hear. Nanogrin is more like blank from inside.

This is pretty much what I was thinking, both the bitcoin/satoshi angle and it’s more personal.
