Option to set preferred currency #1033

Open dexX7 opened 10 years ago

First: it would be nice to have an option to disable the warning about a new USD/BTC price when sending. Imho it's annoying and confusing at first.. ;)

But as an idea I suggest to add different modes - a BTC mode, a USD mode, a GoldCoin mode, etc. where a preferred currency can be chosen and all amounts are priced in this currency (with tooltips/additional information of original amounts). An information about a different price may only be shown, if the preferred currency is different from the underlying currency. Say I'd select BTC as preferred currency, then I wouldn't be bothered with USD fluctuations, but on the other hand, I may receive such an information, if I would have selected USD as primary currency.

Hopefully, the warning/error will not be displayed very often (its hard coded to show every time on staging right now) as the price of btc is only updated on the backend every ~20min ;)

Interesting idea, We already have started storing data on the backend for different currencies just hadn't made use of it yet. Also we have been looking at having a default 'address' for each wallet that would be hot swappable/changed throughout the wallet but would be the primary address used on sends/trades etc.. This could be a potential extension of that

It always pops up when trading via DEx due to the confirmation delay - that's my experience, but only based on a handful of trades.
