Re: [ANN] KRAKEN.COM - Exchange Now Open with USD, EUR, BTC, LTC, XRP, NMC

Currency pairs have the form XBT/EUR (500 EUR/XBT), LTC/EUR (14 EUR/LTC) and XBT/LTC (40 LTC/XBT).

Is there any option to flip the order on XBT/LTC?

Such that it's possible to show a) LTC/XBT (in sub-menu LTC?) and b) XBT/LTC (in sub-menu XBT?).

Cheers.

I would also like to see this option. The reason is almost every other site I have seen and traded on shows XBT/LTC the other way ie. - LTC/XBT
I'm much more accustomed to seeing it this way. I would like to see this option too thanks.
Peace.

I think most engineers and scientists would disagree.

XBT/USD notation in the scientific world would mean: XBT per USD. So a notation of USD/XBT would say x USD per Bitcoin.

That the forex world uses XBT/USD as "x Bitcoin in USD" confused me a lot in the beginning.

Yes, I think your statements are correct, what your saying the current listing of XBT/LTC is actually backwards and should read LTC/XBT. I don't know which way they want to write it and I don't care, I just want to see the conversion shown the opposite way because that's what I'm used to and what most other sites use.

if most other sites do mistakes it is better not to go mainstream and clone their mistakes but to make it correct. For the same reason gox and bitstamp have currently suspended bitcoin withdrawals and kraken is working well.
LTC/BTC flip was already asked here and discussed around 20-30 pages ago, as per information from there, such flip will not happened. The best solution is to handle flip on your side where you need it, it is not so difficult.

Alright, is that popular opinion? IS that the companies position? I don't think it's a mistake by other sites, I just thinks its the way they have chosen to run things. I am trying to get used to it.
Thanks

This is also the de facto standard in foreign currency exchange, to have the currency with the highest value first. Although most online crypto exchanges do it the other way around, this is actually non-standard in the bigger picture.
