Using the ICBIT api, I get multiple orders entered for BUH3 after sending a single create_order command.  Sometimes I get as few as 4, and other times as many as 80, but never 1 as I would expect.

Is anyone else entering orders using the API, and if so, have you seen this kind of problem?

That's a great solution.  I agree that Mt. Gox's send_simple makes me a little uncomfortable. 

Do you plan to add that feature?

For automated market making purposes, an API-directed withdrawal facility (such as the Mt. Gox  send_simple function) would be very handy. Does such an operation exist now? If not, do you plan to add one?

still waiting

Since I'm a "newby" I can't post this where it belongs, but this is addressed to "Fireball":

I've been trying to subscribe to icbit market book data using my c# market making program for a week now, without success.  I have successfully interfaced this same program to mtgox, but icbit uses the subscribe request in some way that I can't decrypt.  Do you have any examples of the ascii stream that is required to subscribe? Or a working .net example would be even better.

I am able to receive "status" updates and "user_balance" updates.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No coins to give, but good luck!

This is not feasible for practical applications like micropayments (or even normal sized payments).

Sounds ok to me.
