Are we ever gonna zap in cents instead of sats? I might make it more approachable to non bitcoiners if it was displayed in local fiat.
Discussion
Sats!
most people can’t think in sats
exactly the reason why
I think excellently in sats. Send me some, and I'll show you!!!!🤣
I’m not against it
It just makes things more complicated. Is it in the local currency? Now we have a huge localization and exchange rate issue.
What’s the denomination learnings of operating in multiple localities on this #[4] #[5] ?
I love sats as the standard here. If anything stays pure, let it be Damus 😄. Display currency options are incredibly useful around the world for paying for fiat-priced items, but I feel like here you learn to zap by the sat.
Amen
I appreciate the feedback.
There was a graphic today that put in our minds that #[6] was tossing quarters at us.
It stresses micropayments because that’s how most people will see that.
I was told people would use bitcoin, but they wouldn’t even know it; maybe that was a lie.
This for sure can be the case. For instance with Stablesats in #[7] you can hold USD value, display it in whatever currency want, and receive (or send) to that balance over Lightning (but you’re just sending and receiving sats).
Displaying in fiat is crucial for enabling circular economies to develop, because converting fiat price to sats all day is a huge hassle.
On nostr, people aren’t pricing things for you to buy, you’re deciding to send a message, a small token of appreciation. Even 21 sats. Wouldn’t hit the same in fiat IMO 🤙
It’s sats definitively in our end right now
Cents would be useful because sats have a unit bias in the wrong direction for tips. Ie: I zap you 21 sats without necessarily computing intentionally that I’m not even sending 1 cent
Could Damus just send WoS a number (19.84) and then the Lightning app take care of the localization and exchange rate issue?
You are punished for mentioning fiat , do 100 pushups 💪
Could be a setting on clients.
Not a bad idea. But I'm not for it... it perpetuates the fiat world mentality.
Bitcoin is entirely different and yeah. When you send a Bitcoin, it's a Bitcoin. Not a dollar or anything else.
Sats are sats.
NO
