We considered this in the past but discarded other options as none of them was 100% accurate.

hey, thanks for replying. I think it would help a lot and would be much less confusing if we didn't see the Hive symbol and the text "Hive rewards" in the payouts since it is clearly not showing anything Hive related. In my opinion you should either keep it like that but then change the value so it more accurately displays the Hive value or change the symbol to $ and the text to dollar and keep the value as it is. As long as it says somewhere that this is a potential payout reward and not 100% accurate I think we are fine and it would really add clarity

When we evaluated that solution in the past turned out new users expected to actually get USD as rewards from their post. Also they expected to get the whole amount reported under their post.

What they actually get is quite different (and not the whole payout as there is the curators part). "Hive Rewards" because you only get Hive related tokens as reward for your posts.

okay interesting, I would have expected people to understand that they get Hive. Maybe you guys could make another poll in the future to see if things have shifted

Ecency has option to change the payout in ither currency also.
