I think that is a huge problem.
Imagine that NEO is 1000 $ and then you send a fraction of that like 1.6 to your wallet. You only get 1 NEO, so 600 Dollars is lost. That is really crazy right now!

- You can buy/sell/hold fractions of NEO on an exchange until you have whole multiples and are ready to transfer. If you have 1.6 NEO, transfer 1 to your wallet and leave the 0.6 on the exchange temporarily (or sell it). You are not forced to 'lose' the 0.6; that only happens if you choose to transfer a fraction.

- NEO are, essentially, shares in the network. Real-world shares in a company are also not normally divisible--you can't normally buy half of a share in Apple, say (so, really, the fact that exchanges allow you to buy fractions of NEO is the weird part, not the fact that the wallet will only hold whole multiples). But 1 share in Apple is more than $150 USD; one share in Amazon is almost $1000 USD; and one share in Berkshire Hathaway is $270,000 USD. Would you say that those companies have been hurt by the fact that their stock can't be bought and sold in fractions?

Then what happens to the NEO that disappear if somebody accidentally sends a fraction? Does the exchange get to keep them or am I missing something?
