Honestly, I'm quite disappointed with CP, right now this is no competition to a centralized exchange.

When trading with BTC, indeed. But if you tray XCP trading, you'll be impressed

We're aware of the difficulties with BTC-based trades. As stated earlier, BTC-based trading will be greatly improved over the next 2-4 weeks, due to our enhanced BTC auto-escrow system we'll be adding into Counterwallet.

Can you give me any pointers to why my (now two) open orders aren't being filled even though the bids are still there in the orderbook? One of them will expire in two days and I will lose the transaction fee for nothing. Next time I will use XCP for sure but now I don't want to give up on these transaction and lose 2xfees + conversion fees into XCP

Your order is this?

My Open Orders
Type Price [BTC/SWARMPRE] Amount [SWARMPRE] Total BTC Completion Action
SELL 0.000182 1417.58131869 0.2579998 3.73% Cancel

Are you sure its not in buy orders? But anyway there read SELL in open orders but amount is really near this buy order..
0.000182 1472.52747253 0.268

No, that's a sell order that I placed to fill the buy order of the same amount in the orderbook. For a while it seemed like 3.73% of it would be filled but that got eventually cancelled too.

And a while ago I placed another order to fill the bid at 0.000191 but it's in the same situation

My Open Orders
Type   Price [BTC/SWARMPRE]   Amount [SWARMPRE]   Total BTC   Completion   Action
SELL   0.000191   356.01989528   0.0679998   0.00%   Cancel
SELL   0.000182   1472.52747253   0.268   0.00%   Cancel

It is broken. I also have sell orders at those prices. The part that sucks is I have never received compensation for fees due to their errors, which I accept, and they still insist on charging fees while the system is going through debugging which I don't. At least give us an explanation of why this problem is so hard to debug and what is going on.

No explanation and the devs like xnova keep ignoring our messages. Instead, we get pompous announcements of new features.

thehun, apologies for your difficulties here. The problem here it seems is that you are making a trade and the people who the trade matches with are not logged in, so they cannot do the BTCpay, thus the order is never fully filled.

I have stated twice on this thread in the last few days that we're working on an automated BTC escrow feature that will address this issue. We designed it last night and I am actually working on that over the next few days. Until that happens, if possible (beyond what you have made already), don't frustrate yourself with orders on the Dex for BTC. The failure rate is too high right now, due to people not staying logged in with their counterwallet.

It should only take a couple of days to code this up, and then a few more days for testing. However, if it takes longer, we will probably just disable BTC-based trades in counterwallet temporarily to save people from the hassle you are going through.

Also, Adam is working on a protocol-level enhancement that will auto cancel someone's order who does not make their BTCpays. This should further help liquidity in BTC markets. More info on that is at: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/issues/223 (he has a branch with the proposed changes at https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/tree/penalize and they're ready to go in after peer review and more testing).

ALSO, we are talking through an enhancement/alternative to the current BTC anti-trolling fee system for BTC-based orders that would use XCP as collateral instead. This would make it so that people wouldn't have to give away BTC in fees on these kinds of orders, if they held XCP. More info here: https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterpartyd/issues/224

And FYI, due to user response, we recently just redid the trading interface (and people seem to like the new one much better). After the bug fixes we just released, coming up with a better solution for this BTC problem was next on our list, and we're doing that now. We have also added a "Quick Buy" interface that will work with vennding machines, which will be activated in Counterwallet in the next week or two. This is all part of the focus to ease these issues folks like you are getting with the order process where BTC is involved (if BTC is NOT involved, things work great, even now).

Thanks,

the reason I tried to sell my assets in BTC vs XCP is there was absolutely no liquidity in the SWARMPRE/XCP market. If the BTC market is still in such an alpha stage, it should be made clear to the users before they place any orders and have to go through this learning curve.

Anyway, I look forward to seeng the improvements you mention
