A growing community of crypto enthusiasts is advocating for new names for subdivisions of Monero, aiming to simplify transactions. On April 18, 2025, users shared their thoughts on user boards about more user-friendly alternatives to the current denomination names.
The conversation started when one user noted, "three hundreths of a monero is a mouthful." They proposed names based on Esperanto to avoid confusion with other currencies, maintaining a focus on clarity. Suggested names include:
Centono (hundreth of a Monero)
Milono (thousandth of a Monero)
Cendomonero and Milimonero for clearer context.
This shift aims to reduce verbal clutter, making daily transactions smoother for everyone involved. Another commenter enthusiastically mentioned, "Thank you for this! Saying centono instead of centimonero is so much nicer."
Simplicity Over Complexity: Many expressed a strong preference for shorter, easier names.
Current Names Insufficient: Some users questioned the adequacy of existing denomination names, adding pressure for change.
Support for Esperanto Names: Users appreciate the uniqueness and clarity derived from using Esperanto-inspired terms.
"Is there anything wrong with the current names?" one questioned, showing a mix of skepticism toward the push for change.
