Iām not against it
Discussion
It just makes things more complicated. Is it in the local currency? Now we have a huge localization and exchange rate issue.
Whatās the denomination learnings of operating in multiple localities on this #[4]ā #[5]ā ?
I love sats as the standard here. If anything stays pure, let it be Damus š. 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]ā was tossing quarters at us.
It stresses micropayments because thatās how most people will see that.
I was told people would use bitcoin, but they wouldnāt even know it; maybe that was a lie.
This for sure can be the case. For instance with Stablesats in #[7]ā you can hold USD value, display it in whatever currency want, and receive (or send) to that balance over Lightning (but youāre 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 arenāt pricing things for you to buy, youāre deciding to send a message, a small token of appreciation. Even 21 sats. Wouldnāt hit the same in fiat IMO š¤
Itās 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 Iām 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?
