I too am 100% grams-oriented, Claude! :)
It's annoying when I accidentally leave it on "dollars" which is the
default, and send someone say 10 dollars instead of 10 grams! :)
For instance, http://thegoldcasino.com is 100% gram oriented (we
programmed it for the owner) and it never even mentions a national
currency. You actually BET in grams, centigrams, etc.
I think your solution is more drastic, Claude, and would probably
need a policy decision from GSR. I think if, for now, they just made
a "null" option as the default one on the units-selector, it would
prevent many mistakes!!!!
(For example, the "recent payess" selector, of course, does not start
defaulted to one of the recent payees .. that would be disastrous.
Similarly, I reckon Jay should change the units-selector to start
with a null default!)
