Creating a new asset

[Kit_Iliffe]

When creating a new asset (coin) from a counterwallet address, I got the message that the amount I wanted to issue was too large. Does anyone know what the maximum is? This will save me the trouble of going through the process with diminishing amounts until it is accepted. Thank you!

There is an answer in the FAQ stating:

“Countewallet allows over 92 billion (92,233,000,000).”

What is the maximum quantity of issuance?

Countewallet allows over 92 billion (92,233,000,000). In the API and CLI, up to 2^63-1 is accepted (e.g. 9223372036854775807; which is 2^63-1. Note that owners of un-locked assets (tokens) can issue additional amounts, but at the moment the amount cannot be decreased so sometimes it is better to start with a smaller issuance and avoid the need to unnecessarily huge amounts. Other times (especially for locked assets) it is better to get the quantity as “right” as possible.
