Hi OiOiAussie,

I am glad Sean was able to help fix your negative coin bug - and fairly quickly given that even TinyCO community managers deserve the occasional weekend off!

Looks like he also gave you the best possible buffer by subtracting the smaller number from the larger number! Though, it sounds like you may have had to fight for that. Well done!

You really deserve the credit for postulating that the variable onset of the negative coin bug must be due to some combination of factors, and not just the coin balance. This set Professor Onestone to thinking - as if he ever needed a prompt - as he realized that a combination would neatly explain both the variability and would likely be due to the standard integer overflow at 2^31 for 32 bit integers.
