Re: Bitstamp TX Fee Exploit - Charge 1.16% instead of 0.2% without your consent

They are still going to charge much higher than the posted fees in some cases. The minimum is $5, that's great. But what about $5.01? The fee should be $0.01002 but instead you will be charged $0.02. Okay the breakage seems capped at double now, but that's still a lot.

Their base fee is .5%.
If you place a $5 order you should be charged $0.025, but instead you will be charged $0.03.

In other words, even with their "fix", you'd get charged 20% more than advertised.

I see folks cheering because their answer to the situation was fast...
It's as if the people here would be happy to be served a plate of steaming shit in a restaurant, instead of actual food, as long as the waiter's fast.

so lets close our accounts in Bitstamp and start using your shitty exchange right ? because you've got it all figured out....

It doesn't matter whether he has an exchange thats worse or better he's demonstrating that there is still an issue. Rather than attacking him why don't you raise some valid counter points?

because it is really retarded, this simply imply that he has no fucking clue about what he is talking nor know how to solve a simple math issue, because the same thing happens everyday in your daily life and almost every where, when you go to the gas station they round up the price and I don't see anyone complaining and crying there, and when you go to the grocery store to buy a kilogram of potato the same happens because it is simply never an exact kilogram, yet I don't see people crying there as well.

and by the way, when you trade a fucking $200.01 and pay $0.01 more as fee, of course a $0.01 will change your life right ? and if you do that 100 time a month this would sum up to $1 in total, this will get you broke!!! but of course it is not about the $0.01 it is about how can we live with the fact that there is a successful and efficient business like Bitstamp, No we have to fuck them hard to have peace (fucking jealousy)...
