16:44:20 < gmaxwell> Hey, I saw a post on bitcointalk showing that SC was using doubles for the new difficulty stuff.
16:44:44 < gmaxwell> This is highly inadvistable because you are likely to get compiler differences in the exact ordering of the floating point operations.
16:44:57 < gmaxwell> This will cause different nodes to arrive at different required difficulties.
16:45:37 < gmaxwell> So you'll get, e.g. an unrecoverable split between linux and windows users— from one currency. Two. Or ten, depending on how many compiler setups are used. :)
16:45:54 < gmaxwell> Just thought it would be polite to point it out. Cheers!
