Something we've been discussing and working on today has been integrating BELA/USD conversion estimates directly onto posts. This would allow users to see an estimate of how much money (in USD) a post has earned. The benefits of this are that users can see how other photos (especially quality ones) are earning money, so they can know that they can earn money too. The difficulty comes with how to give an estimated USD value when the price of Belacoin fluctuates. A post that has earned $5 one day may be worth $7.50 the next without earning anymore Belacoin because the price of Belacoin increased by 50%.

You can see the mockup in our Slack at belacoin.herokuapp.com or posted here: https://twitter.com/BelaCoin/status/862441389916921857

BELA/USD estimates on posts do make the path towards mainstream use and adoptionmuch easier.

Steemit is using a three day moving average of steem/USD rate. That means that the value is *averaged* and lagging behind when there are spikes - up or down. As it was the case these last days ...

I guess that the average can be calculated every hour or so. It doesn't have to be a live average ...
