While I like the idea of a better denomination for 1/1000000 of a bitcoin, I feel it is confusing because there are [millibits](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Millibit) already (I believe the Electrum wallet uses them).
Why not use microbits instead of bits? That way it corresponds to the [standardized metric SI prefixes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix). So:
1 millibit = 1/1000 BTC, could also be written as mbit or mBTC
1 microbit = 1/1000000 BTC, could also be written as μbit or μBTC
