Rounding makes different EUR amounts look identical in BTC #2

Summary

When converting EUR amounts to BTC, the extension rounds too aggressively so distinct EUR values can display as the same BTC amount. This is confusing in real text because it suggests the numbers are equal when they are not.

Example

Original (German):

Bei einem Vollzeit-Einkommen von € 3.500 brutto (€ 2.435,11 netto) und einer Korridorpensionshöhe von € 2.700 brutto

Image

Converted:

Bei einem Vollzeit-Einkommen von 0,04 BTC brutto (0,03 BTC netto) und einer Korridorpensionshöhe von 0,03 BTC brutto

Image

Both € 2.435,11 and € 2.700 become 0,03 BTC due to rounding, even though they’re different amounts.

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

Different EUR values should remain distinguishable after conversion. For example, they should render with enough precision (or in satoshis) so that differences are visible (e.g., 0,039 BTC vs 0,036 BTC, or 3 900 000 sats vs 3 600 000 sats).

Why this matters

  • Reduces trust in the conversion because readers can’t tell values apart.
  • Particularly noticeable in financial/legal texts where small differences are meaningful.
