How is it possible that some addresses have dollars in them instead of bitcoins?
Example here:
https://blockchain.info/address/37X5mtn38nHj9ZtDeyZKfvwWjjuguNdvgK
And dollar transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx/1269e5050787fc26d49f619c1a1ca1446fd4ba2789c2c5865dd9853ec471eeef

Can I now convert BTC directly to digital dollars? How is it done?   Grin Cheesy

It isn’t. It is just set on your browser to show the dollar value. Click the dollar value to switch it back.

Hmmm.  Can't change it back.
Are you saying, that you do not see dollars in blockchain.info ? I only see dollars in every address now. I thought it must be a funny bug in blockchain.info  

Edit: Ok. now got bitcoins back. I restarted the browser, and erased recent history.

Click any green/red field with a value to toggle between dollars and Bitcoins. No need to restart your browser for it, it's a feature.

Like others said it's the current exchange rate at Blockchain.
You can set it back by clicking on the green button/icon with the amount of value on it.

There's also a dropdown at the bottom of the page that you can use to display amounts in some specific currency.
Also on that list are mBTC and bits, which are 1/1000 and 1/1000000 units of BTC!

Thanks.

Good to know. Learned something new about blockchain.info.
Hope it is useful to someone else too  Wink

I lock this thread, because I think everything has been said already.
