Title: I think the currency pair display should be the other way around
Post by: gn1 on October 18, 2015, 05:55:55 am

I was looking at the BTC/BTS market, and thought something was definitely wrong, so I've clicked on the currency pair to switch it to BTS/BTC.

And I realized that the currency pair is showing in the wrong format. I believe that the display should be the other way around.

In BTS/BTC market, you are supposed to be buying and selling BTS using the BTC price, but in the BitShares decentralized exchange, BTS/BTC market is displaying as if you are buying and selling BTC using the BTS price.

Any idea?

Any idea?

Click "BTS/BTC" and it'll flip to display as "BTC/BTS" just like the previous wallet.

As far as I can tell the naming is consistent with how other exchanges do this, only difference is in the URL which does not appear to be the same everywhere anyway. I only checked Poloniex and bter though..

It's not consistent with poloniex.

If you go to Poloniex, orderbook for BTS/BTC is priced in terms of BTC, and you are buying and selling BTS using the BTC price. In BitShares decentralized exchange (it's only broken on light client), somehow the orderbook for BTS/BTC is priced in terms of BTS, and the buy/sell label says that you are trying to buy and sell BTC.

Same thing for BTS/USD. It's broken on the light client.

It's even worse on BTS/USD. It's broken on both light client and openledger. On light client, the buy/sell label shows that you are trying to buy/sell USD.  On openledger, the label is correct, but the orderbook price is showing in terms of BTS instead of BTC.

I'm not able to produce what your saying.  It was previously in error, like you say, several days ago but SVK fixed this.  Currently they appear to be properly formed Currency Pair titles.

Heres what I'm seeing:

These are correct
You might check if there is a more recent version of light client.

The open ledger pic is correct.  The light wallet is an older version.  Grab the latest version.

BTS:USD
1 BTS priced in USD = .004
Thats .004 usd/bts

This is correct.

Thank you. I confirmed that it is fixed on the newer version of the light wallet.
