I still think it might be dangerous to provide binary fixed point numbers since they are harder to understand. You are right that previously, there was no efficiency difference between...

People are generally way more used to decimal fixed points - they use them all the time when e.g. using money. They know how rounding works and are aware about...

I still don't see the point. Interest rates are usually given in percents, not "perbins". All the other things you give are usually displayed in decimal to the user and...

My point is: If you use two decimal places precision, you know that you can always store all integer percentage values without loss of precision. You need 9 decimal places...

Fixed point numbers are not essential, but they are nice to have. You can always use integers and keep a fractional divisor in your head and for that divisor, it...

@3sGgpQ8H of course you have to adapt some arithmetic operations, but the point I was making is that fixed point numbers do not need any drastically different ABI encoding or...

Thanks for creating this issue, @jO-Osko . Do you have some real-world usage examples of that feature? It would allow us to better judge the need for it.

I understand the general concept and think that it can be useful. Still, we have so many planned features that are useful. In order to prioritize this feature, it would...

@fluidsonic do you have a link to a full code example?

I'm sorry, but I still think this is much more complex than it looks from the outside, and I would prefer not to do it for now.
