GUI: Display the balance in fiat too?

[darosior]

I'm still not sure for one.

I want this asap <3 I understand the issues related: where from, trust, etc. I guess we need 2 things:

• exchange rate somewhere
• value in local currency for the spend/receive tx

[darosior]

In my opinion if we do that it should be opt-in: by default don't dox yourself to a random server, but if you really want to you can enable it in the settings.

Same as the user googling to find the rate of exchange IMHO, as long as people to price in bitcoin. Letting the user chose their source is good I would say too, and we could provide one of these sources.

We've discussed it over at Twitter. Concept ACK for an opt-in switch in the config to have fiat conversions all over the GUI.

We can discuss how it should be displayed now.

for the concern about privacy and don't doxx ourselves when pinging a random server, which way you have in mind to get the price data? exchange API? block explorer API? scrapping random webshop where whe know that the price in indicated both in fiat and BTC?

[darosior]

My thinking was to make it possible in the config to opt-in to dislay pricing based on a price source.

At first a single third party one would be used. And eventually we could allow to choose between different sources. Including maybe custom ones. -------- Original Message -------- On May 1, 2023, 11:51 AM, pythcoiner wrote:
