The account_balance and send RPCs are heavily used by the faucet. We have some conversion functions for mrai/krai/rai to and from but I agree, we probably want to minimize that because it's confusing.
In the next release I'm going to make it selectable and probably default on krai.
I saw your solid background on Linkedin.
May I ask. are you working full time on this project? I bet not.
then what is your plan or vision for Raiblock? one thing is impressive is that You have developed it for 2 years.
The rough timeline I see on RaiBlocks is like this:
- Teach and encourage decentralization by having people set up representative nodes
- Complete the initial distribution so the network has its final supply
- Finish up features like multicast transactions and ledger checkpoints to reduce data usage
At that point I think RaiBlocks itself will be in maintenance mode with the standard being managed something like an internet RFC. The base layer will have been established and hopefully will require infrequent changes.
