The satoshi is currently the
smallest unit of the bitcoin currency recorded on the block chain It is a one hundred millionth of a
single bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC). The unit has been named in collective homage
to the original creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
All amounts in the block chain are
denominated in satoshi before being converted for display. The source code also
uses satoshi when specifying an amount of bitcoin. When displaying an extremely
fine fraction of a bitcoin, as in a contemporary faucet,
the amount is displayed in satoshi for readability.
