Alan,

=20 =20 =20
I highly recommend that if we make any move towards this, that the software show verification in both/all units.

For instance, there should be 3 input fields, one for "BTC", = one for "mBTC" one for "uBTC".=C2=A0 As the user enters a v= alue in one of the fields, it would automatically update the other fields with the converted value as they type.=C2=A0 This makes it really difficult to g= et it wrong... if you're typing "10" into the BTC field, thi= nking it's mBTC, you'll see 10,000 mBTC showing up in the other box as you type.=C2=A0 Similarly, it should display all units on all verification windows.=C2=A0 Users may also use it for sanity checking conversion between units.

Good point - F= or me its too much clutter to show multiple boxes everywhere (we already su= pport unit conversion by changing the dropdown box in the amount widget), b= ut I'm going to make the verification dialog show the totals in all thr= ee units. This will make people learn about other units without having to c= hoose them consciously.
