Would be great to have more than 2 decimals! (perhaps by adding the number of decimal we want in settings)

If this is for carrying "Pocket Change" of BTC then we should have more than 2 decimals.

It would be good to add denominations smaller than a bitcoin
This is from wiki:
What do I call the various denominations of Bitcoins?
There is a lot of discussion about the naming of these fractions of Bitcoins. The leading candidates are:

1 BTC = 1 Bitcoin
0.01 BTC = 1 cBTC = 1 Centi-Bitcoin (also referred to as Bitcent)
0.001 BTC = 1 mBTC = 1 Milli-Bitcoin (also referred to as mbit (pronounced em-bit) or millibit)
0.000 001 BTC = 1 μBTC = 1 Micro-Bitcoin (also referred to as ubit (pronounced yu-bit) or microbit) 

The above follows the accepted international SI units for thousandths, millionths and billionths. There are many arguments against the special case of 0.01 BTC since it is unlikely to represent anything meaningful as the Bitcoin economy grows (it certainly won't be the equivalent of 0.01 USD, GBP or EUR). Equally, the inclusion of existing national currency denominations such as "cent", "nickel", "dime", "pence", "pound", "kopek" and so on are to be discouraged. This is a worldwide currency.

One exception is the "satoshi" which is smallest denomination currently possible

0.000 000 01 BTC = 1 Satoshi (pronounced sa-toh-shee)
