It think it was Bitkit, right @BitcoinErrorLog? Take a different approach?
The problem with these examples is that they truncate as a matter of convenience, but you can't really do that, so you should just delete the fake decimal: BIP 177
Yes, Bitkit allows this view, with no useless leading zeroes or fake decimal places.
🤝 this gets my vote so far
Another way to go around this is to change the display unit according to the value. And bridge the gap between a satoshi and a whole btc by appending popular SI units, like kilo, mega, centi, milli…
I like the idea of changing the display unit depending on the amount, but layering on other units such as kilo mega centi feels like over-engineering… cool for us nerds but for anyone else it may seem too much
Agreed, 50,900,000 does look silly. Never really been a sat guy tbh but I see the need for it.
₿0.509 feels right to me — if someone has around $1,000 in bitcoin that’s about ₿0.01, which still looks reasonable.
I think giving users a choice between sats and bitcoin makes sense, or making the UI contextual based on balance. For example, default to sats for $50, but switch to bitcoin around $1,000 — with a brief explanation to the user.
