I like the idea but I gave it a try and it's not so obvious to do the do basic math quickly with it...
I'm also a bit confused.
You say 3|13 is 0.00013
Then digitalindustry says |13 is like 1|13 which should be 0.013?
So what's 0.13 now?
And if you get 1.0098 coins (1 coin + 2|98), how do you write it in a short way?
Thanks for giving it some thought.
I will just cover the OP proposal here. digitalindustry proposal differ a bit and I would prefer each to be discuss in their own thread to avoid confusion.
0.13 -> 0|13 (but I would just use 0.13 on a website)
0.013 -> 1|13
0.0013 -> 2|13
and so on...
1.0098 -> 1.2|98 (read as-is: 1 dot 2 zeros 98) but frankly I would not use a "point zero notation" for 1 and above. Might be too much to digest.
For CoinBuzz:
320.0000012 -> 320.5|12 (320 dot 5 zeros 12). Working but not pretty.
