Re: Bitstamp Scam Accusation (FIXED WITH FRIENDLY RESOLUTION)
Sounds like you're running a trading bot and are angry because you're encountering weird bugs. Guess what, normal users might not be affected enough for it to matter, certainly not as much as you're trying argue. Let's take my case for example: I've executed 1317 transactions on Bitstamp, totaling $1276.26 in fees. If Bitstamp really added an extra 0.01 to all those transactions, they've stolen $13.17. That's 1% of the fees I've paid. I can see this being a problem, if you are a spammer of 0.01 BTC trades.
BTW, who is the 'spammy fuck' now?
EDIT: I can see the rounding problem in my fees easily, it just doesn't add up to very much in the end. Only ~20 of my 1317 transactions were smaller than 2 dollars.
Basically, if you are stealing small enough its ok to do it! Just so the public knows, you fuckin idiot. You are too stupid to be affected, can't even do the math properly (yes your calc. is wrong) or you are a scammer yourself (judging from your criteria of doing business) or both.
Please enlighten me on how that calculation is wrong. In my mind, it goes like this: 1317 transactions, a maximum of $0.01 stolen from each. That totals $13.17. It's hard to get 0.01*1317 wrong. Of course, not every transaction has had the maximum $0.01 stolen from it, so the total would be less than $13.17. So my transaction fees have been anywhere from 0.5% (naively expecting that 0.005 would be the average stolen fee) to 1% (13.17/(13.17+1276.26)) higher than expected. Yes, that might be called stealing. Do I care about it enough to whine endlessly on forums? No.
Have you considered that maybe your dickish attitude is why you aren't getting any help with your problems? You seem to have a crusade against Bitstamp.
