Title: Display Local Currency alongside BTC?
Post by: buttonboy1234 on July 09, 2013, 02:27 pm
hey guys

I was having a play around with the settings on SR and thought the introduction of a dual system wherein your local currency (changeable) is displayed next to the amount in BTC. I think this would make the process clearer for new users, making the leap from beginner to buyer a lot smoother.

I also think it would assist other users through it's clarity when purchasing items, as well as being able to keep tabs on the rise/fall of BTC in real time.

let me know what you think  ;)

That feature has already been implemented - click 'Account' >>> 'Settings' >>> left hand side, choose currency >>> 'Update profile' >>> you will see the number of bitcoin available to you and how much it is worth in your chosen currency >>> sorted ;)

Yes but this only replaces it, it doesn't place it alongside the BTC amount.

(Your current accounts funds are shown in both, but vendor's items aren't they are either exclusively BTC or local currency)

Sorry, I get you now!! The bitcoin exchange rate is displayed at the bottom left of each page on the main site ;)

i think what the OP means is having the local currency displayed next to the BTC price under an item listing for example if you selected US currency it would show

(item listing)
฿0.25 ($37.00)

that would save the user from manually calculating the exchange right on his own, or switching his settings... great idea!
