Genuinely interested to here everyone's takes on BIP-177. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I recently started using BitKit on nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzdmhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn9qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcam28zl 's recommendation, and they've gone all in on it.
Seems like it could be a positive change?
sure positive Genuinely about using takes it not gone started but they've recommendation, recently I'm BitKit on could and it.
Seems on nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzdmhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn9qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcam28zl all change? on everyone's I it, like a how in I 's feel to interested be BIP-177. here
I think having the bitcoin symbol next to the sats unit is fine and isnāt as confusing as people make it out to be. People are still gonna call that shit sats though š
Very respectfully, and as a huge fan, I have to politely disagree.
If I see āāæ 1000ā, I feel like Iād read it in my head and out loud as āone thousand Bitcoinā, and I donāt think Iām the only one. Fortunately for me I understand whatās going on, but a normie whoās only really only heard of bitcoin from news and only really knows that itās āreally expensive nowā could be really confused.
It could be argued that, right now anyone using Lightning to buy a shake isnāt a normie, and thatās 100% fair. Probably true.
It just feels wrong and like something we should be trying to āfixā.
I get that itās easier to use the bitcoin symbol for now since thereās no agreed upon sats symbol, and thereās a good argument that a large number of decimal places is even worse, but I just canāt quite get down with it. It feels like weāre pushing an inevitable point of confusion/clarification using āæ to represent sats.
Personally, I like https://satsymbol.com/, but itās another one of those things that the community will bicker about forever, so I donāt really have a solutionā¦ Iām only convinced that āæ == sats (sometimes) isnāt it š¤·āāļø
I realize now that your comment was a response to another comment regarding BIP-177 and I might have misunderstood your comment in that context.
I was operating under the impression that you meant that the Bitcoin symbol was fine for sats without any reference to the BIP.
Ignore my comment if I misunderstood you š«
