- The demo distinguishes illustrative Bitcoin rates from live rates; optional rate requests send the provider an IP address.
Field notes
The demo lets visitors change income and work settings, then try a price calculation without saving those inputs. Its examples range from coffee at 9 minutes of work to a car at 6.9 workmonths, and the page distinguishes these illustrative calculations from optional live Bitcoin-rate fetching. The privacy explanation says price detection and calculations happen in the browser, while rate providers receive an IP address.
