Rewards in Bitcoin on ProofofBrain?

in #development2 months ago

Setting BTC on Proof of Brain or @ecency, leaves you with all of the rewards showing 0.00 BTC. One one hundredth of a bitcoin is a handsome sum of money. This is not something we should expect from Hive in 2024. So, you could have more decimal places, so 32 Satoshis would be expressed as 0.00000032 BTC or 0.000,000,32 BTC. But instead I emplpy metric prefixes 'milli-' and 'micro-'. In the image above we have 0.01 mBTC, 0.43 µBTC and 0.32 µBTC in terms of Hive rewards.

Here is a patch that does this for Ecency.

Good work, maybe better show all in Sats, satoshis

After thinking about this for a while. I think that Satoshis could legitimately be put on the list of currencies. We should keep the prefixes for Bitcoin though (if you keep Bitcoin as an option). People like this idea. Of course it is inefficient and it needs a conditional so we don't see "milli-dollars" and stuff like that.
