Hi! 🙂 Is it possible to issue an asset (ordinary not singleton) with a setting that forbids the issuer to increase the amount of assets in the future? ---

Two options: 1. Create an asset with the maximum quantity already distributed which means 1 Billion shares with 8 decimals. 2. Create a singleton asset. ---

So that should apply also for assets issued without decimals. I guess @apenzl just tested that. One note about the singleton assets. We noticed with @sergi that if the description of a singleton asset is over 160 character then the cost of the asset becomes the one of a regular asset. But if I remember correctly, if the description is longer than 160 characters and therefore it's not classified as singleton, I cannot increase the shares. So maybe that needs to be reviewed in the code. I think it would be nice to keep the singleton cost low also for descriptions over 160 characters.
