Amounts for staking

@cybercent Are you sure you aren't getting this mixed up with how ETH is represented in Solidity? In Cadence we use UFix64 to represent Flow tokens, so we can have 10k FLOW represented as 10000.0.

The number still has precision up to 8 decimal places, but it is only represented as an integer under the hood. We can represent it as a decimal number in Cadence.

@joshuahannan thanks for the explanation.
The confusion came from when I queried an account's balance via gRPC.
I see the amount like this: 1000000000000 not like this 10000.0, probably because there is no UFix64 in Go.

I opened the issue just to check that there was no mistake there. Good to know the amounts are correct.

@cybercent Was just going to ask if that number is reported by the Go SDK. Are you calling GetAccount? I think we can update the Go SDK to use cadence.UFix64 to represent the balance field
