Can someone confirm that the new version also fixes the upper limit of possible pennies in one wallet?
There is no upper limit of what your wallet can hold, only of what the GUI can display and what you can send in a single transaction (as far as I'm aware).
That value is 1billion, as that is the MAX_MONEY value used by the getwork system. I could fiddle around with some variables to get the wallet to display higher values, but it isn't really a priority. If you need to send more than 1bil. to one person, try sending multiple transactions.
Thank you for your answer. As I understood it, this is the reason why Bter halted deposits:
CENT deposit is disabled CENT wallet because the current transfer operations are not designed to handle more than one billion purse, affect our users recharge CENT, we will solve as soon as possible, thank you for your understanding and support.
So a fix in this area would help Pennies tremendously.
BTER.com only closed CENT deposits to sell their own stake coins, no other reason.
