FAQ

How to perform calculations with Banano denominations or raws?

PHP faces troubles when dealing with Banano amounts ...

• Data type float isn't precise at certain decimal depths
• Data type integer size is limited to 64 bit

A good solution is to perform calculations in raws using GNU Multiple Precision

Why not use libsodium instead of Salt or php-blake2?

Some limitations prevent the use of libsodium ...

• Functions sodium_crypto_sign_* use SHA-2 instead Blake2
• Functions sodium_crypto_generichash_* don't allow output smaller than 16 bytes

---

To do

• Add Epoch v2 support to BananoBlock
• Add FlatBuffers support to BananoWS
• Increase FlatBuffers performances
• Enable listening on IPC
