We would definitely like to give Mods a way to communicate with each other more easily, and are starting to explore implementation options.

This system not only introduces unnecessary confusion for both parties, but also privacy concerns on top of that.
Currencies vary greatly in value, meaning that unless streamers build tools for converting currency values, or are already familiar with the specific currencies, they won't be able to tell how much was cheered.
Having the viewer's currency displayed also broadcasts the user's location, what may in most cases be undesirable, making viewers refrain from cheering altogether.
From the viewer's perspective, when you see a "direct cheer" it seems to imply the creator will get 100% of the value cheered, instead of 3/4 of it, specially when you could easily tell how much the creator is receiving with bits, the system this is supposed to replace. It would make a lot more sense to pay a fee upfront, and forward the full cheer value to streamers, as bits already does.
The fixed cheer amounts can discourage viewers from donating intermediate values, while also taking value away from the experience of using custom alerts for specific amounts, and now with no more cheer emotes.
If the problem is the fact bits are technically just USD, a floating rate currency, being sold at a flat rate, just keep the current, much superior, bits cheering, and change the pricing scheme.
