Mixed bag of worms there, even ignoring what people have already implemented— if you make it use satoshis people who are working with things at COIN scale are inevitably going to end up multiplying numbers stored as radix-2 floating point to get satoshis and then are going to be confused when it comes out "wrong". Using decimal numbers at least lets them treat the values as strings and avoid arithmetic that will end up confusing them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
