"You can use simple moving averages"

Ok, is that built into xmr bazaar? Cuz if not its neither simple nor a good use of a persons time. I am the farmer who wants to take xmr but all of my inputs are in USD. That y'all have these purity tests makes me not want to bother. I'm not gunna spend time changing the prices on goods when I should be out in the field working. You also neglect the accounting behind that.

You don't have to constantly change it. You can update it say three times a year, or something like that.

That only works if the price always goes up. If the price halves, like it nearly did this summer, the producer would lose out on potential profits, and possibly be listing their product for less than the cost to produce let alone cover their margins. This doesn't even account for the fact that they could lose business when their price basically doubles.

Until USD or other fiat isn't unit or account, it's best to price things in it.
