Iota tokens for nanotransactions

Might be of interest Re Safecoin divisibility. @Jabba first mentioned here the very interesting Iota Token project “based on a new distributed ledger, the Tangle, which overcomes the inefficiencies of current Blockchain designs and introduces a new way of reaching consensus in a decentralized peer-to-peer system.”

"What is the total supply of IOTA?

The total supply of IOTA is (3^33-1) / 2, which equals to a total number of IOTA’s of 2779530283277761. IOTA is specifically designed for machines, so this high supply makes IOTA optimal for tiny nanotransactions while still keeping efficiency in mind. It also nicely fits into the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER value in Javascript."

If there were a similar supply of structured data types, and 2^32 Safecoins - each Safecoin would be divisible to ˜1.5e-6 without requiring any complex/fragile (slow?) divisibility hacks. Given the network could handle transferring ownership for multiples of SD types of course…
