also when are we changing to megabytes or even bytes on exchanges as the unit? or is this not happening?
Whom are you asking here? Go and ask exchanges if they are going to change units or not.
The dev team decides the units not the exchange I believe.
You believe in wrong
The exchange does not decide to just call it gbytes. If we want it changed to mbytes then under the current model only tonych himself can request the change.
Yes, this is exchange who decides what to list and how to list. Tonych has nothing to do with this.
I still have to beg to differ sadly. If tony wanted it called mbytes it would be called mbytes and instruct 3 decimal places added up front to it now. Of course if the exchange said no then you could have a point.
Usually the exchanges will do as tony asks for a price.
Without him asking it will not be done. I don't expect just any one can instruct them to change ticker and decimal places.
I also doubt any exchange would just take it upon themselves to do this.
