Is this a good place to ask Barterdex questions?

I was trying to sell some CHIPS for KMD. There were buy orders present on  both sides of the market, mostly with 255 UTXO's. I clicked on various orders/amounts with low average volume and it filled the Min Price Sell and Max Amount Sell fields, but the amounts were different than the values shown on the BUY orders in the order book that I had originally clicked on to fill the fields.

So then I hit the SELL button, and a few moments later, my order appears on the sell side, but no transaction takes place. It seems odd that the buy orders keep going up in price, but nobody buys my lower-priced orders.

I have 15 KMD on deposit to allow for easy transactions.

Is there a reason my orders are not going through?

Thank you!
BarterDEX isn't like a traditional exchange where you just pick a random number and dump that much. In order for an exchange to take place, you have to have an amount of CoinA and want an an amount of CoinB, at the same time, the other party has to have that amount of CoinB (or close to it) *and* they have to want that amount of CoinA. If you try to sell 3 CHIPS at 0.1453 KMD to someone who's largest UTXO is 0.2 KMD, then the trade will not go through.

There's some "hit and miss" trial and error involved in getting used to it, but it all starts with letting go of expectations of everything you know from some other thing and learning this new thing.  Wink
