Title: How does bitstamp work?
Post by: PhasHD on April 14, 2013, 10:00:50 AM
Alright, i currently use Bitstamp.net as my bitcoin wallet, and i tried to sell some bitcoins for testing purposes wich gave me the amount of 8.25 $ on the balance.

But, when i go into my account tab, it says USD balance: $8.25

Under that tab it says total USD amount is $0.00

And also USD in open orders: $8.25 under the "Available for trading" tab

What does that mean actualy? Does it mean the money isnt on that account yet?


Thanks!

FYI Bitstamp is an exchange, I wouldn't keep your bitcoins in there permanently, best to keep them in a wallet

I don't use Bitstamp so can't answer your question but perhaps they have a minimum trade amount?
