Title: Making sure exact amount of BTC arrived Post by: Fizpok on November 06, 2013, 02:48:04 PM Hi,
I just did a payment of 0.005 BTC. During the payment, I was asked to pay a comission, which I did. Now, the recipient got 0.00499999999999998 BTC, I am not sure if it was related to a comission or not, but it never happened before. Which is bad, as I am writing a payment system, that would reject a payment, if the amount is insufficient. How can I make sure, that amount my recipient receives is what I sent, and not what I sent minus comission (or whatever the reason was)? Thanks.

What wallet did you use to make the payment? Bitcoin-Qt? MultiBit? Electrum? Armory? It isn't possible for a bitcoin payment to be 0.00499999999999998 BTC. Bitcoin currently only extends to 8 decimal places. Title: Re: Making sure exact amount of BTC arrived Post by: tampazeus on November 06, 2013, 04:09:05 PM I just did a payment of 0.005 BTC.

You are correct. It was my rounding error. |
