Ah good call. And also, classic dogecoin. Wish there was an int128 type...I guess Big Int is the answer? https://golang.org/pkg/math/big/

uint64 should be enough, faster and much easier to manipulate.

👍 I'll probably keep a few things as ints (off the top of my head, unconfirmed_balance because negatives are possible and should never be very big)

JIC anyone is following this, @matthieu and I talked in meatspace and agreed that this came down to a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue (since Go 1.1 the size of the int type is based on the underlying architecture). For almost all cases, 64-bit ints should be fine (except in super weird/pathological cases and/or potentially dogecoin 🐶), and keeping the type as int reduces a fair amount of cognitive overhead. We're going to add specific warnings/suggestions for those who are on 32-bit systems in the README and godoc.
