Either a tap/click on the main xmr balance to toggle between the Monero value and the fiat value, or a press and hold/mouse hover to temporarily view the fiat value. Releasing/unhovering switches back.\r\n2. There is space to the right of the Amount box where this could be displayed. Or, there may be instances where the user wants to enter a fiat value in a box and this converts at the exchange rate to the xmr value to send. A more interesting design challenge.\r\n3. Similiar to point 2.\r\n4. Loads of space for this. Just has to be done well.\r\n\r\nI am not sure about having it on Transaction history as this could both overly clutter the screen and a tricky decision has to be made on what value to show; the exchange rate confusing at the point of transaction, or the current exchange rate. The latter could be conversing due to price volatility (\"Wow! Dinner last night cost a lot\"). The former could be confusing as two transactions next to each other of the same XMR amount could have widely different fiat values. So anyway, perhaps leave this implementation for now.\r\n\r\nAlso, there is a UX consideration if this is added to a Monero Request. I think it should be there when creating a request, but if both the XMR and fiat value exist on a saved request and sent to another user, this could provide confusion based on exchange rate fluctuations. For example, John pays Steve 0.3 xmr for a cinema ticket. Steve bought John's cinema ticket for $10. John sends the request around the time of purchase, but Steve only checks and processes the request two days later. 0.3 xmr might be worth $8 or $12. Steve wonders why he has been under/over charged.\r\n\r\nThe option to choose your fiat currency of choice would be in the Settings area.\r\n\r\nSome things to think about. When I have time, I can mock up some of these ideas, unless someone beats me to it :D\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mymonero/mymonero-app-js/issues/comments/305752060","html_url":"https://github.com/mymonero/mymonero-app-js/issues/108#issuecomment-305752060","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mymonero/mymonero-app-js/issues/108","id":305752060,"user":{"login":"snaggen","id":6420639,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/6420639?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen","html_url":"https://github.com/snaggen","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/snaggen/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-06-02T10:37:37Z","updated_at":"2017-06-02T10:37:37Z","body":"As you say, only toggle between the fiat from the setting and xmr is needed. And I think having the toggle of the right side looks best when text is used, like xmr, usd, eur etcetera. And even when symbols are used, most still are placed after the amount, I guess $ is a little special here. "}}
