why prices remain the same if the bitcoin is more expensive?
-
They shouldn't be as the majority of listings are pegged to the US dollar, to see the current price go here (clearwebalert) https://mtgox.com/index.html?Currency=USD simly divide the listing price by the weighted average to work out how much your listing costs. Alternatively you can do this through your SilkRoad account by clicking on account ฿ -.-- (however many bitcoins you have) > Settings > click display prices in Dollars > Update profile. If you do this all your listings will be in US dollars, you can always change it back to Bitcoins if you need to. Hope this helps you :)

Unfortunately not yet, it's been brought up many times, I hope the SilkRoad admin team are working on it. In the meantime you could use (clearwebalert) http://coinmill.com/BTC_GBP.html for your conversions.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a looksee.
I normally use an Android app "bitcoin paranoia" that shows live rates..
It'd be so much easier to see the live gbp rates on SR. I hope they (admins) do get round to it at some point...

typical. American system or bust. I say this as a US citizen

I don't understand why to be honest, if the system caters for US $ surely it can be easily be updated to convert Bitcoins into any other currency, however this is just my logic talking, I have no knowledge of computer databases whatsoever and it might be more complicated than what it seems, however if SilkRoad implements this change it's consumers and vendors would welcome it with open arms! As this is a global market we need global conversions of the major currencies (£, €, AU $, CDN $, etc) if and when they decide to implement this feature it's up to them, fortunately it's easy to find a Bitcoin exchange site or app, however it can be a little inconvenient at times when you need an instant conversation. Thanks for sharing your android app, I don't use android so was unaware of this, it's great to share alternative solutions. Another alternative is you can view live exchange rates through (clearwebalert) mtgox.com
£ (clearwebalert) https://mtgox.com/index.html?Currency=GBP
€ (clearwebalert) mtgox.com/index.html?Currency=EUR
AU $ (clearwebalert) mtgox.com/index.html?Currency=AUD
CDN $ (clearwebalert) mtgox.com/index.html?Currency=CAD most other major currencies are available too :)
