Title: Unrealistic orders on GLBSE
Post by: Jutarul on August 31, 2012, 04:02:55 PM
Look e.g. at https://glbse.com/asset/view/ASICMINER

I wonder what the purpose is of a sell order for 1 share @ 999,999,999 bitcoin.
Obviously its not gonna get filled for more than one reason. (Unless GLBSE introduces the concept of fractional shares).

Also if the market crashes someone buys at 0.

Plenty of threads on this already, including more than a couple posts in the GLBSE features thread created by Nefario. There are usually more complains about the bid for 100,000 shares for 0.00000001 People place shit orders and then the wonderful graph that should mean something doesn't all of the sudden.

These bid/ask are put on purpose just to spoil the graphs.

A simple zoom-in implementation could solve this. However, fees charged do not pay for such effort ::)
