Your right captain.

But when I see this kind of page: http://middlecoin.com/
I still think something could be done to make it easier/faster to read.

@DrGoose
1.5|98 = 1.0000098
It makes me feel I got 1.5 coin but I actually have only 1.0

.
When you read fast, it could be disappointing.

I agree... it is just confusing for >= 1

What if we use instead the ASCII of small numbers in a circle (or parenthesis for older 7-bits ASCII)?

0.013 -> (1)13 -> ①13 0.0013 -> (2)13 -> ②13 1.0013 -> 1.(2)13 -> 1.②13

Where (n) would still read as "n zeros"

I like the graphic version that simply feel like a "zero" with a multiplier inside.

Just food for thought.

And all this is easier than scientific notation?... OMG!!!

Then I propose other nomenclature...

You have to put Grin

if you have zeros in the left side of the comma (because they are high numbers and those numbers make me happy)

You have to put Angry

if you have zeros in the right side of the comma (because they are lower numbers and those numbers make me unhappy)

and after I propose to use the roman numbers... so... for example:

17000 --> XVII III

0.0005 --> V III

Definitly I think it would be easier for everyone if all people try to use them

(I promise this is my last participation in this post)

Be happy with your system...
