The term satoshi, named after Satoshi Nakamoto, refers to the smallest unit of bitcoin, with value of 0.00000001 BTC. For certain transactions, the loser of a bet is paid "1 satoshi".^[8]

Offering

In August 2012, Erik Voorhees, founder^[9] of SatoshiDice, launched a "prospectus" for SatoshiDice, aiming to attract investors.^[1]{{Unreliable source?|reason=Forbes contributor blog|certain=y|date=November 2018}} The offering was not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and was conducted in bitcoin through the website MPEx, based in Romania. SatoshiDice was described as an "unregistered corporation" represented by Voorhees, with the investment agreement stating that it may "not be modified by third parties, irrespective if said parties should style themselves "court of law", "judge" or otherwise". As of January 2013, SatoshiDice shares were valued at $8.9 million.^[1]{{Unreliable source?|reason=Forbes contributor blog|certain=y|date=November 2018}}
