Blockchain balance omitts to negative (-) balance after reaching 90353440637

Question

Hi

I am currently exploring multichain. I have set it to use native assets, and using walletdbversion=1 , because I want to use Alias names. The problem I am having is that my wallet balance omits to negative (-), after it reaches the balance of 90353440637, it omits to -90353440637. Any help with that?

Comments

Thanks. Can you please explain what you mean by alias names?

And show the API call and output that gives a negative balance?

By alias names I mean i want to use Alice as an account Holder name instead of using the address to make transaction. here is a log, notice the balance of assets

Answer 1

Thanks - this is an overflow error in the API response, since there are more than 2⁶³ raw units of the native blockchain currency (where a raw unit is 1/100000000 part of a whole unit, as defined by your blockchain parameters). This is a bug, but you should please consider reducing your mining reward, or else reducing the native-currency-multiple, so that this limit is not reached.

Answer 2

Beta 2, just released, fixes this problem by not allowing blockchains to be created which will lead to this overflow.
