FAQ

- What is a Satoshi?

- Satoshi is to Bitcoin as pennies are to the dollar. Except that there are 100,000,000 Satoshi in one Bitcoin.

- Why do I need a module when I can just divide or multiply by 100,000,000?
- See here - Floating point errors are a problem. So satoshi-bitcoin uses a tiny bignum library (big.js) to ensure accurate conversions!

Tests

`bash
npm test
