This is the sort of thing I expect to emerge from the places that use Bitcoin "on the street." We should be watching how local wallet software displays bitcoin amounts, letting the standards write themselves over time. The units debate (bits, millibits, etc) has been going on nearly as long as I've known about Bitcoin and yet most tools display standard bitcoin amounts (1 unit = 1e8 satoshi).

A very good point. I have realized the immature nature of my suggestion due to this and a number of other good remarks, and will like to retract the initial suggestion.  

Thank you and all the best

Emne: Re: [bitcoin-dev] Suggestion for a universal bitcoin value scale

 

A potential problem is that it would be a new attack vector to simply

color something to appear as e.g. 10x more than it really is, if

everyone started using this system.
