Ethereum

Ethereum wallet developers!

Please for the love of all that is holy stop truncating decimal digits when your users copy paste an amount to your interface.

This happens way too often.

This is the wallet's fault. Ethereum has 18 decimals. They can't just ignore an arbitrary amount of it.

As for the e-commerce platform no. It should not. Giving less decimals sure may be easier on the user.

But ultimately wallets should not manipulate input. Path of least surprise and all.

Or even better just not give a price with so many non zero decimals of dust

Honestly shouldn’t the commerce platform just have a setting to accept the payment if it’s off by a trivial amount?

I can't know unfortunately. I am on the side of the payment receiver, having to contact the user and explain why the payment was not automatically accepted.

Happens too often.

So far reports have been coinbase and metamask wallet.

Could you please elaborate in which wallets exactly it happens, so that we can avoid using them?

Tell that to an accountant lol. Changing a pasted amount is a serious bug. Absolutely no excuses there.

Etherum payment takers!

Please just round the payment request to a few decimal points, no one cares that it’s not exactly $10

Wallets should always send the exact amount. No question. Haven't been able to reproduce for MM. Could you please share details if you run into this with MM?
