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? Wink

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. 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% to 1% higher than expected.

Are you 13 yet, you know cause hashking was 12. Here goes:

Code:

Buy Aug. 3, 2012, 7:55 a.m. 0.01159742 BTC -$0.12 $10.10 $0.01 [fee is now 8.3%]
Buy Aug. 3, 2012, 7:54 a.m. 0.00192400 BTC -$0.02 $10.10 $0.01 [fee is now 50%]
Sell July 31, 2012, 12:09 p.m. -0.02586900 BTC $0.24 $9.21 $0.01 [fee is now 4.2%]

And since you are speaking for casual dumbfuck user, they get scammed the most from this, since they are not using special api to check for this bullshit breadcrumbs in the orderbook.

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?

Have you considered I am not looking for help here but you look like an idiot who argues its alright if ppl steal from his own wallet?

I'm confused as to what your gripe is about this rounding issue. It seems like they are rounding up to the nearest cent right? Is that what you are saying the problem is? That this extra cent is being stolen???
