Can people please suggest ways for how dash can be modified into a two decimal points system? (or possibly three decimal points). If we have possible solutions to that, then I think it could go up as a proposal. Thanks.
If you're talking about the number of decimal digits displayed in the wallet I've implemented this some months ago, so you can send the Dash directly to me :tongue:Can people please suggest ways for how dash can be modified into a two decimal points system?

If, with 'internaly', you mean what's used for computation then the answer is no.Not the display to two decimal places.. I meant the internal mechanics. How can dash ever be user-friendly / grandmother-friendly if it's format is alien and overwhelming?
I think really micro transactions should not be limited. Because DASH should allow users to represent any value they might find useful (and sometimes what is dust for some might not be considered dust at all for others): I can imagine, for example, in really poor countries, with huge inflation, if people want to make, in DASH, the remittance of the value of a few units of their local currency (say, Zimbabwe, for instance)...No advantage to limiting the number of places for dust control or darksend? I was thinking the places could be limited in the client if so, anything with more becomes a non standard transaction with higher fees with the place moved if its too big for reasonably sized microtransactions.
If we want grandmother to use it, we need to offer a better/easier interface. Not to cripple the internals of the currency.Not the display to two decimal places.. I meant the internal mechanics. How can dash ever be user-friendly / grandmother-friendly if it's format is alien and overwhelming?
Wow, you don't hold anything back. I like it.My usual reply applies here. FIAT already exists. It is abused and inflated to suit those who won't/don't learn. Why would they learn how to computer anyway?
Duffs are just fine. The number of people willing to understand is small enough that we don't have to worry about handing out equivalent amounts of money to everyone on the planet. Even if you gave the same amount of money to everyone, the fools would soon waste it, and the same 1% would have it all, again. Still.
This is a non-existent problem that dwells only in the mind of a short-sighted fool. Fools already have money that suits them, fiat. DASH is money for non-fools and should not destroy itself for the illusory benefit of $15/hr burger flippers who can't even form sentences much less thoughts about finance and currency.
The truth should not be restrained. If reality offends someone, that person is divorced from reality and should be ignored immediately.Wow, you don't hold anything back. I like it.![]()
Did you see the valid arguments against doing that? This is an interface issue, not a technical issue."Dash is digital cash"... that there is an aspiration for universality. Sticking to 8 decimal places (or whatever it is) is fine with me if dash is to remain a niche, serving specific people and functions. For anyone here that wants dash to be more mainstream than bitcoin - to beat them at their own game - then it's just simply not going to happen with 8 decimal places. Who hired the trolls to come here and tell us that dash should be just like bitcoin? Bitcoin's inability to change is EXACTLY why dash exists.. and then the hired trolls come here and tell us that we should have all those decimal places just like bitcoin!
Good luck with that, educating 7 billion people how wrong and stupid they are.Still not a valid reason....
-The psychological understanding of numbers, left OR right of any decimal place, is an issue of the user and not of the system.

Or maybe we could simply choose a cool name for the denomination, and if people start using this 0.000001 DASH special denomination as the "basic currency", it would be natural to refer to it as the "currency", while DASH will always be the "official" name of the project, while still being one of the denominations for the currency (e.g. 1 DASH = 1,000,000 BASICs)...Guys, I made a mistake when I said "internal mechanics", that's not quite what I meant to say. Using µDash is almost the solution I was thinking... however, what I do suggest is that we rename the units, so that µDash becomes the default unit and we simply rename it to "Dash". Yes, this would make most of us millionaires but that's ok because, you never know, maybe one day dash will rocket in value (USD).
The thing is this; people deal with digits to the left of a decimal point a lot easier than they do to the right. This was brought home recently when Amanda from the The Daily Decrypt got all confused over a similar problem. People, for example, understand $1,000,000 a lot easier than they understand 0.000001 - yes, people don't see "0.000001" as a millionth, even though it is.
lol1 DASH = 1.00000000
and 1 DUFF = 0.00000001
Is all there is right now, if given general names.
[count'em, 8 right? - ugh - so hard]
You keep asking - can we get new names for denominations...???
WHY not....
Completely changes the subject but -
1 DASH ========== 1 DASH
0.1 DASH ======== 10th of a DASH ==== 1 DASH Byte = __________________
0.01 DASH ======= 100th DASH ======= 1 DASH cent = __________________
0.001 DASH ====== 1000th DASH ====== 1 DASH mil == __________________
0.0001 DASH ===== 10000th DASH ===== 1 DASH 5th == __________________
0.00001 DASH ==== 100000th DASH ==== 1 DASH 6th == __________________
0.000001 DASH === 1000000th DASH === 1 DASH nano = __________________
0.0000001 DASH == 10000000th DASH == 1 DASH bit === __________________
0.00000001 DASH = 100000000th DASH = 1 DUFF ===== DUFF
fill in your own blanks.....
Let the debate continue...
1000 Dash = 1 FlarePerhaps what you want is to have a better name than µDash (just like bitcoin have bits instead of ubtc)Right??
What? - I didn't say anything about changing the supply. In point 2 I said the internal representation would remain the same.So now you want to move the decimal place to cause a 1000X split?
...instead of 18 million DASH total max - you want there to be: 18 billion DASH?
so my 1000 DASH becomes 1 million DASH?
uh - no........
Actually, if you want to accelerate mass adoption, a 1000 for 1 split is not such a far fetched idea. Look at Doge, which has similar market cap and trading volume as Dash - and yet it has no features. All Doge has is over 100 billion coins outstanding, passed around by gazillions of people; and gazillions of coin holders would be a reason for merchants to consider accepting a coin (for tunes, games, etc.).So now you want to move the decimal place to cause a 1000X split?

DOGE only has that because there is no diff and all the kiddies can mine it on their video cards with free electricity that mommy and daddy pay for. Ultrainflatable socialist coin, it's entire existence is based on the secret displacement of grown-ups who pay a power bill and don't realize it's being converted into a covert allowance augmentation. Without that, there would be no DOGE. And people debate the ethics of stealing electricity to mine other coins? Stealing electricity from one's own family is the solitary underpinning of DOGE...Actually, if you want to accelerate mass adoption, a 1000 for 1 split is not such a far fetched idea.
