Market assets have different precisions, from 2 to 8 places.

Check out http://bitsharesblocks.com/assets/market, click an Asset Symbol, then the tab Asset Info. Have a look at the precision property. It defines how many "asset-satoshis" make one asset unit - I assume.

Hello,

Are bitshares (BTS) like Bitcoin in that they're subdivided into satoshi out to 8 decimal places? Or, are they divisible to even smaller amounts? I see 5 decimal places on the console for BTS but market assets seem to go on for something like 12 decimal places. Can someone explain?

Thanks!
