I'm happy to prioritize a release that updates the Armory\ninterface to make \"bits\" the default unit, when the time is right.  I\nthink it makes sense to get as many apps and services to upgrade nearly\nsimultaneously.\n\nMy plan is to have a popup on the first load of the new version that\nbriefly introduces the change, and mentions that they can go back to the\nold way in the settings, but make them work to do it.  For the transient\nperiod (6 months?) all input boxes will auto-update nearby labels with\nthe converted-to-BTC value as they type, so that they don't have to do\nany math in their head.  Similarly, all displayed BTC values will show\nboth.  But the 1e-6 unit will always be default or first unless they\nexplicitly change it in the interface.\n\n\n\n\nOn 5/2/2014 8:54 PM, Ben Davenport wrote:\n\u003e I fully support this (it's what I suggested over a year ago), but what\n\u003e it comes down to is BitPay, Coinbase, Blockchain and Bitstamp getting\n\u003e together, agreeing what they're going to use, and doing a little joint\n\u003e customer education campaign around it. If there's community momentum\n\u003e around \"bits\", great.\n\u003e\n\u003e My only addition is that I think we should all stop trying to attach\n\u003e SI prefixes to the currency unit. Name me another world currency that\n\u003e uses SI prefixes. No one quotes amounts as 63 k$ or 3 M$. The accepted\n\u003e standard at least in the US is \u003ccurrency-symbol\u003e\u003camount\u003e\u003cmodifier\u003e,\n\u003e i.e. $63k or $3M. That may not be accepted form everywhere, but in any\n\u003e case it's an informal format, not a formal one. The important point is\n\u003e there should be one base unit that is not modified with SI prefixes.\n\u003e And I think the arguments are strong for that unit being = 100 satoshi.\n\u003e\n\u003e Ben\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e On Fri, May 2, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Jeff Garzik \u003cjgarzik at bitpay.com\n\u003e \u003cmailto:jgarzik at bitpay.com\u003e\u003e wrote:\n\u003e\n\u003e     \u003cvendor hat: on\u003e\n\u003e\n\u003e     Related:\n\u003e     http://blog.bitpay.com/2014/05/02/bitpay-bitcoin-and-where-to-put-that-decimal-point.html\n\u003e\n\u003e     --\n\u003e     Jeff Garzik\n\u003e     Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist\n\u003e     BitPay, Inc.      https://bitpay.com/\n\u003e\n\u003e     ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e     \"Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE\n\u003e     Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
