Title: Display account total in BOTH BTC and dollar!
Post by: societyagrees on January 05, 2012, 08:19 pm
We can't have the conversion rate at the bottom anymore, so why not allow the option to show the account total at the top of Silk Road in both BTC and $?

just go to the account tab and you'll see your btc total.

An easy way to do this would be to have just 1 BTC in your account, and show the price in USD.  The amount at the top of the screen would be the conversion.  Not pretty, but it would be functional.

They originally removed the feature for security concerns; they're not going to want to release that information. They would have to make it slightly inaccurate or otherwise delay it so that the problems would be alleviated. I think it's fine as it is.

Then can SR at least have a calculator on board? lol.  I'm not nerd enough to be sure why the security risk, but if it is, we'll do without. Only annoyance I've had was sending BTC directly (shipping add-on) I kept trying to send $ without noticing the $B logo. Because everything else on my SR is in dollars except that. By the time I came back and realized my error, I had less BTC in my account than I wanted to send. It would really be a hassle to send a dozen Bitcoins when you mean to send 12 dollars worth of bitcoin.. (who doesn't have market prices set on $ currency when shopping?)

...there's way too much information to decode the SR. You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the BTC. All I see is heroin, pot, and LSD. Hey uh, you want a hit?

Start, run, calc, enter, or if windows 7 start calc enter. Take bitcoin amount x's rate on mtgox. Very easy. Very quick. I'm all for anything that SR takes off the site to make things more secure. Which in turn makes everyone else more secure.

Also, you can get the windows gadget

To view BTC prices. Just set the "Correction in BTC" to "1" to see how muuch 1 BTC is worth. SEt it to 20 to see how many 20 are worth, etc etc.

Yes, I'm taking donations for these awesome suggestions and ideas that work perfectly for your problems.!
