Title: Display BTC + USD price
Post by: z3n on May 15, 2013, 02:59 pm
Hi

Don't know if this as been asked already, but I'd find it useful to be able to see the prices of items in BTC as well as in USD (like 'B1,00 - $119') for example...

That would be rather easy to implement, even though it might be a bit larger :)

In the early days of SR, on every page had the current exchange rate at the bottom or top. I forget where it was located. They took it away for security reasons I believe.

But if you can elect to have prices displayed in either USD or BTC, why not add the option to display both?

I like the idea.

Yes I remember back in the day the Bitcoin rate was always visible at the bottom of the SR page. Wouldn't hurt to keep it.

+1, Was just thinking about (and questioning) why they don't have this feature, it would really make browsing a whole lot easier. Switching around all the time can sometimes take a long time, this would just make for less time calculating, and waiting for darknet load times. Seemingly pretty beneficial, unless there is some kind of issue related to why they took the exchange rate off of the page.

This would make browsing SR so  much friendlier, Especially if GBP and EUR where added as options as well!! ;D

Realtime BTC info would be beneficial as the competitors (BMR & ATL) have already addressed that feature

SR put a "report this seller" button in the spring - I can only imagine the amount of buffoonery comments they've responded to

How about rethinking things? It appears that SR is always on it heals (DDoS. Scams, etc..)/ that should not be the situation

It would be nice to be leading the efforts rather than reacting to other effort to derail

I appreciate every fucking hour DPR & Team puts in but no reason IMO to play catch up

I'll not mention this again & thanks for the starting place

all my best
