Pictures say it all.


On the website, we can't sell anything less than 0.1.


But somebody...


somehow...


is doing a lot of small trading.

Which means to me that there might be a bug they're exploiting in the
"less than 0.1" territory.

Most likely the restriction doesn't exist in the API. That said, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU POSTING POTENTIAL EXPLOITS HERE!?!?!

It would be better to contact Mtgox and let them know you will release that info in short time.

If you make a sell order for 10BTC plus fees but you only have 9.99BTC, your order is split into two parts, one at 9.99 BTC minus fees, the remainder being some small fraction of a bitcoin. You can then quickly cancel the large part and the second becomes valid.

Some bug in the javascript,  I think it is fixed now (the 0.01 was only updated for buy and not for sell).
