Why handling coin amount field using `Uint53`?

See original GitHub issue

Our team recently discovered an issue with using this coin amount with the approach as described in https://github.com/cosmos/cosmjs/blob/79396bfaa49831127ccbbbfdbb1185df14230c63/packages/amino/src/coins.ts#L12

What we can figure out was Uint53 was unable to handle large values. What is the CosmJs team’s rationale behind using Uint53? Any specific details?

Thanks

For now, I have written my own implementation matching almost yours.

Are you planning to merge it in a future version of cosmJs?

I’d love to. The case is valid: an SDK coin is of arbitrary length and right now we only support up to 53 bit. This might be good for most users but we also want to support advanced use cases as long as they are in line with main Cosmos SDK development.

Ideally you can drop your own implementation and share the one in #923 with other CosmJS users.
