Investing on Havelock: put 1 BTC, get back 1 bit.

You've been with us for a long time and you know you get back at least 2 bits. Let's at least keep the facts straight!

As long as you vote pankkake...

@havelock:

If people made money on your exchange, switching to bits would be awesome.  Testimonials like "I made millions on Havelock!1!!" <== pretty awesome PR Smiley

Of course, people come to you to lose money, so think "I lost millions on Havelock.  Again." <== not good PR Sad

Hope this helps.

Why not just go straight to satoshis?

Jeff Garzik actually made a good point for Bits - I still prefer the current system, but the arguments that he provided has swayed me more than other has yet -

so for example the funds list before and after might look something like this (with transitional? ghosting of leading zeroes)

I absolutely hate that some of your lower priced securities like CBTC always show .0001 when in reality there is a huge difference from .0001 and .0002 that does not get displayed. This would be an excellent change.

Make both options available for users, some of us are quite comfortable with decimal numbers.

Leave it as prices quoted in bitcoins, but PLEASE stop rounding off after a few places! Just show the whole price out to 8 decimals.

If you understand the very basic fundamentals of btc, it shouldn't make any difference.

Of course, it will be hilarious to see all the clueless press reports of "BTC explodes to one million times value overnight!" When they (mis)report it. Lol

I support bits.  If dogecoin can handle big numbers so can we.

This is soooo true. I've run into that issue many times. The switch to bits would help change that, and it would also allow for more exact numbers. Even 0.00018 is very different from 0.00009. Erm, rather 90b vs 180b (I think is the right measurement?).
