Title: Cryptsy's orderbook bug causes significant btc losses Post by: m3 on November 23, 2014, 10:59:00 AM http://www.btcfeed.net/news/cryptsys-orderbook-bug-causes-significant-btc-losses/ (http://www.btcfeed.net/news/cryptsys-orderbook-bug-causes-significant-btc-losses/)
Pretty much there was this "phantom order" which enabled people to buy megacoins at a super cheap rate. The order was removed once prohashing pointed it out but cryptsy never repaid any of it's customers. Hope Mr. Vernon does the right thing.

If you want just sell your coins or buy coins to or from the guy want to buy/sell at the best rate, then you have to take what you get. You cannot make a non-limit order and complain you didn't get the price you wanted. Not cryptsys fault imo.

If you use limitorders then there's no way it would sell below or buy above that amount.
