That's not true!

@ btc-e.com

You say that BTC withdrawals attract fixed 0.01 BTC fee - but I know that's not true!

I just withdrew some BTC - I have requested withdrawal of 0.161 BTC, your website indicated that I will receive 0.16 BTC, but you actually sent me  0.1551 BTC

In addition to lying, you are also stealing from me!

Explain!
Numbers are rounded on BTC-E on display but are processed to the last satoshi, I find it inconvenient (this is not intuitive and I had to stop on the withdrawal page to understand exactly what was about to happen) but they don't cheat you.

0.1551 rounded to the next cent is 0.16. If they sent you 0.1551, you probably requested a withdrawal of 0.1651. If I were you I'll lookup the history to check.
Alright, this is the kind of thing that sets off my pet peeve when dealing with financials...


Ya wanna round to 4 digits where you're showing the balance on the Buy LTC and Sell LTC parts of the trade page?

Well, ok... it annoys me, but I'm not pissed about that, because I can easily click on it to find out the real number...

But on the withdrawl page? I don't want to see rounded numbers. I want the real numbers that I'm dealing with.

The exchange is handling my money, and I want the real number down to the last satoshi. I don't need to explain it, or justify it, beyond the fact that it is _MY_ _MONEY_.

Don't just go rounding off the numbers because it is convenient for you. You have to give us the real numbers every single time, and the only time you should be rounding a number is if you can justify it about why it HAS to be rounded, and why you don't have any other choice available, but to round it.
