# Setting fiat-denominated price
With the release of go-livepeer version 0.8.0, we are introducing a feature to allow specifying the transcoding price per pixel in USD. This is a backward-compatible change, which still supports setting the price in Wei but now gives the option of using custom currencies instead, with USD being the default.

Notice that the `-pixelsPerUnit` flag supports the exponential notation, so it’s easier to understand the value being set. The `-pricePerUnit` does not support it though, so a standard decimal notation must be used. This is also an incentive to use the `-pixelsPerUnit` value in order to keep the `-pricePerUnit` as an easily readable value.
Notice that both the `-pixelsPerUnit` and `-pricePerUnit` flags support exponential notation, so it's easier to understand the value being set.
This feature is also supported by gateways, with the `-pixelsPerUnit` flag staying the same, while the `-maxPricePerUnit` should be set instead for the max price. The currency is specified in the same format.
