Question: What should Bitcoin-Qt do when encountering non-BTC amounts in bitcoin: URIs?
Leave "amount to send" blank (as if the URI did not have an amount) - 4 (44.4%)
Try to interpret it as BTC, and rely on the user to notice and correct it if wrong - 1 (11.1%)
Parse the amount, and convert it to BTC in the send dialog - 1 (11.1%)
Parse the amount (as above), and also promote/generate URIs using non-BTC units - 3 (33.3%)

Per the old bitcoin: URI scheme, amounts should specify a unit. The current implementation of bitcoin-qt, however, only correctly handles amounts as BTC without a unit. What would be the ideal behaviour, in the community consensus, when encountering a URI that does specify a unit? (recall that the user opening these URIs is not the same person who created them)

Example URIs with units:

Previously I had suggested a units=  (e.g., units=mbtc), but there were reasonable arguments as to why that was not a good solution:

Yes, that's why the URIs specify the units in a descriptive form rather than symbolic. Wink
