People on this list are mostly engineers who have no problem dealing =
with magnitudes and have rather limited empathy for people who have a =
problem with them.
They also tend to think, that because they invented money 2.0 they would =
not need to care of finance=92s or people=92s current customs.=20
The importance of their decisions in these questions will fade as people =
already use wallets other than the core.
Bring this particular discussion elsewhere, to the wallet developer.=20
BTW the topic was discussed here several times, you have my support and =
Jeff Garzik=92s.
