Most people don't have 1e6 times as much money in their\nwallet as they attempted to send in a single transaction.  Similarly,\nsending one-millionth of what you meant to is likely invalid or below\nthe dust limit. \n\nWell it looks like the consensus is to do it, instead of talking about\nit.  I'm going to make sure we get uBTC into the next Armory release. \n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140313/be24b2d1/attachment.html\u003e"}
