Color kernel which works with padding is still quite simple. I think we have extra 10-50 lines of code to handle padding in coloredcoinlib. Essentially we have a couple of lines like this : value_wop = tx.outputs[oi].value - padding (value_wop means "value without padding"). And then we have like 10 lines of code which selects padding for a transaction. That's not a lot of extra complexity. And it solves the problem once and for all. What you propose instead: "a different colored coin representing 10 shares, and another one representing 100 shares (like the different denominations of dollar bills)" is much more complex, and it won't work: Suppose you have $100 coin, as a single coin. How do you send $54.23? That's simply impossible. So you'd rather push complexity to higher levels (and create inconvenience for end users, as you admitted yourself) than add 10-50 lines of code to color kernel? I just do not understand this. But I'm not going to argue. I already wrote everything which I could write on this topic. --047d7b673fb6f7796104f6794a2d Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
