 Allow me to recap BIP changes in discussion:

 - making some changes to allow merchants to offer discounts in case of
 instant ?
 - allowing multiple signatures ?

 Did I miss anything? Thoughts on the above from others?


Jumping on this thread after reading it all. I am in favor of the
discount offered by the merchant.

Ideally the merchant could get the amount of the wallet *fee*
for instant payment (privacy leak?). That way, the merchant
could decide to support the instant payment at 100% (better
user experience after all) or at 50% only or at 0%.

This would encourage instant payment for merchants and buyers without
(re-)creating a non-transparent system.

regards,

Re: [Bitcoin-development] [QT] Feature proposal: Displaying current Units/Changing Units with status bar control.

[sebastien requiem]

Hello Angel,

Good initiative. This looks good. If I understand, the dropdown menu is for
the whole application, so it make sense to have it in a common part of the
layout.

A slight optimisation would be to write the unit in the transaction table
header too (since we read from top to bottom). This would give something
like Amount (mBTC). That way, the user doesn't have to think twice about
the unit of his values.


Hope it helps,

 There's been quite a lot of debate over the default unit of display to
 use, you can read the conversation here, which was closed.

 Whatever the side of the debate you're on, wether it should be BTC or
 mBTC, or other, regular users will probably take too long to find a way to
 change the current unit of display, and if the unit of display were ever
 changed to something other than BTC, the current transaction tablesAmount
 column don't mention anywhere what Unit of Display is being used.

 So last night I started playing with the idea of having a status bar
 component that would:
 1. Show you what is the current unit of display at all times.
 2. Let you change the unit of display easily.

 Here's how it looks (see attachment), just wanted to get feedback, if this
 is something you also consider valuable in terms of user experience, or
 maybe you don't want to allow any more controls on the status bar (because
 then people will want to add more and more)

 Just want to get some feedback before I continue working on this to polish
 it and submit a pull request.


 Cheers.
