Yesssss, that damn $ sign needs to go. Back when SBD and Steem were within a rounding error of $1 USD, it was fine as a close approximation. Now, it's totally misleading for anyone who isn't already into this, albeit fortunately in a positive fashion (since you're getting way more than you think you are, innit?)

My suggestion, @sndbox? Not a different sign but a different metric altogether. That payout thing should just plain show the SBD and SP side-by-side perhaps with a slash in between. So the current payout for this very post I am commenting on is $232.20. SBD payout for that is $232.20 - 0.25($232.20) with the answer to that divided by two.

Or, if you're like me, you skip to the end by just going $232.20 x 0.375 to get your expected SBD payout.

But what if the payout reading there just showed:

SBD / SP

87.075 / 87.something_or_other

Heck, why not let us be able to click on it and toggle between that -- and actual USD price based on constantly-updated SBD value? We know Steemit is technically still in beta but this is some legacy design that could be ditched to make it look less so.
