FAQ

[](#faq)

#### How to perform calculations with Banano denominations or raws?

[](#how-to-perform-calculations-with-banano-denominations-or-raws)

PHP faces troubles when dealing with Banano amounts ...- Data type `float` isn't precise at certain decimal depths
- Data type `integer` size is limited to 64 bit

A good solution is to perform calculations in raws using [GNU Multiple Precision](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.gmp.php)

#### Why not use libsodium instead of Salt or php-blake2?

[](#why-not-use-libsodium-instead-of-salt-or-php-blake2)

Some limitations prevent the use of libsodium ...- Functions `sodium_crypto_sign_*` use SHA-2 instead Blake2
- Functions `sodium_crypto_generichash_*` don't allow output smaller than 16 bytes

---

To do
-----

[](#to-do)

- Add Epoch v2 support to BananoBlock
- Add FlatBuffers support to BananoWS
- Increase FlatBuffers performances
- Enable listening on IPC
