Are all altcoins divisible upto eighth decimal places ?

^^^Title speaks for itself...

No pennies (CENT) is not divisible. You cannot send less than one CENT.

XMR has 12 decimal places

XMR has 12 decimal places

We need more.. since people need really to do new coins with Billion of coin cap or even Trillion.
You can see that these have a big problem to trade at 0,00000001 statoshi

Is 12 decimal places the highest one among all cryptos ?

BALLS and MMXIV are both 6 as well

Is 100 Trillion coins enough? One sat would buy you a million.

I'm so tired of seeing so many CrapCoins pop up everyday and nobody at least admits their coin is total dogshit.  So I'm Launching a new coin in hopes this will jump the CrapCoin Shark:  SHIT.

ShitCoin will be the biggest POS coin you've ever seen.  No, not Proof of Stake, that's absurd, but "Piece Of Shit" coin.



--  100 Trillion coins - that's as shitty and absurdly ridiculous as any CrapCoin can possibility ever get.

What? Are you aware of how it's implemented?

The variable set to regulate that has a range of 0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 bits available when unsigned.

So, if 8 decimal places were taken in XMR, the number of coins would be 184 billion ..

These aren't numbers that are just picked to impress people LOL .. it's a number set to maximize the variable range efficiently

Do you even read the source?

Can u plz tell me in short, what is the highest no. of decimal places that any altcoin allow ?

The serialization is different between satoshi and cryptonote codebases. In short, an infinite number of coins/decimal places can be created using as many variables as you would like .. it's just software.

In long: If the number of variables change to allow more decimal places, serious design considerations must be considered ..

Cryptonote uses just an unsinged 64 bit integer for their coin supply, I'm guessing to save as much space as possible during serialization, while also introducing less error handling techniques for the entire value .. so having more than 184xxxx...xxx indivisible units will require some pretty serious programming work to get past that limit .. so for cryptonote I'd guess you could logically move that decimal point to having .184xxx...xxx units ... so it could have a max of 20 decimal places .. but less than one coin ever to exist. I don't know for sure though ... maybe you could have .00000..0000184xxx..xxx units? Pretty sure that's just how it appears to you anyways .. but asking one of the developers working on cn software would give you a much better answer there

I'm sorry, I'm not nearly as familiar with the satoshi codebase as the cn codebase .. you'll definitely find a better answer to that question in the bitcoin technical section.

Actually, that's a pretty good question. If you don't ask it there I will

Add: I think one of the things on the agenda for the bitcoin foundation recently had something to do with modfiying the decimal places to interface with existing trading software with real markets .. so maybe look around for stuff talking about that as well.

I'm not sure why r u pushing me to bitcoin tech section ? I'm well aware of the fact that the current bitcoin protocol standard allows upto eighth decimal places. But I am a novice about Alts. So, I want to know, what is the highest decimal places an Alt coin protocol allow at the moment ? Software may allow a far far longer range. But that is not what I am asking. What is the highest decimal places allowed by any Alt protocol standard ?

That was why I added that part about the bitcoin foundation .. so they actually answer you instead of brush you off and move your post for talking about altcoins.

Most altcoins are based on satoshi codebase, and I don't know your answer.

Hell, I'll do it and send you a message if they talk about it

uno has 9 decimals

[BitcoinExchangeIndia.com]

So XMR is 12 and UNO is 9. Apart from them all are within 8 ?

[100bitcoin]

If I am not wrong, using lightning network, one can send less than 1 satoshi.
