How should BTC amounts be displayed? 🤔

In our next version (coming soon), we’re rolling out a fully redesigned amounts formatting throughout the wallet that we believe should set the industry standard.

It’s now much easier to read, no matter the screen or whether you’re dealing with small or large amounts. Plus, BTC/Sats conversions are instant. ⚡

Nice. Can't tell if you do already, but localizing the placement of the unit symbol, as well as use of comma/period/etc is also a good idea. Different countries have different standards. https://bitcoin.design/guide/designing-products/units-and-symbols/#formatting-units

Thanks for the feedback! Wasabi currently doesn't support any kind of localization. Only English, USD as fiat currency, American formatting standards. It is definitely something we're looking into, but it will take time.

For the amount formatting specifically, we use the . as a separator for decimals and a thin space for thousands separation. Even if localization would be much better, the complete lack of comma avoids possible confusion.
