Question about the actual, practical exchange rates on the site, since I'm seeing a discrepancy.
Let me provide some examples.
I converted 0.13 XMR at a quoted rate of 0.00304009 BTC per XMR, which should come out to 0.00039521 BTC.
I only received 0.00029402 BTC.
I converted 0.07 XMR at a quoted rate of 0.00304009 BTC per XMR, which should come out to 0.00021281 BTC.
I only received 0.00011217 BTC.
Finally, a larger amount: I converted 11.43664499 XCP, at a quoted rate of 1.16841180 XMR per XCP, which should come out to 13.36271096 XMR.
I only received 13.32958171 XMR.
What is the source of this discrepancy? Is there a way to correct this discrepancy in the quoted rates on the site?
I'd like to be able to have a better idea of what I'm actually going to receive when I make the transaction. This seems to be a separate issue from the fluctuations of the exchange rates. There seems to be another cost in there (a fee?) that isn't being made visible to the user before the conversion takes place. If it's a fee, it'd be useful to have the fee baked in to the quoted exchange rate, or at least calculated and displayed for the user before the conversion is made.
Hello mmortal03, Most of what you're describing is precisely the miner fee. The amounts you are doing are very tiny, and thus the miner fee will look big in percentage terms. For example in your first case, you expected 0.00021281 and received 0.00011217 which is a difference of 0.00010064. 0.0001 of that is the miner fee, so in actuality the discrepancy is 0.00000064 (in other words, not significant). This final amount difference is likely caused by a small change in the exchange rate from when you clicked "start" to when your coins actually got one confirmation in our system and processed (which may be a few mins later). There are no other fees other than the small miner fee, so for any transactions more than just a few pennies, you should not have this issue at all. Note: If you ever need a precise exchange rate that is guaranteed not to change from when you're quoted to when the exchange occurs, use the "Fixed Amount" transaction feature, which gives you a 10 minute window to deposit and if you do so, you will get exactly the rate you were quoted at the start. Please let us know if we can help with anything further, and thanks for asking questions!

Y'all should use a referral system similar to theirs.... I can't figure out your API stuff.
Edit:
or even a ref program where you enter your Bitcoin address or w/e at the end and it automatically sends out to you. (loads of faucets do it like this... no account needed!)
Thanks for the idea... we've added it to our list

ShapeShift is not involved whatsoever with that site... it looks almost certainly like a HYIP scam. Please be careful.

Hi, there! Can you give us a little more information? That API call you mention returns a result. Do you plan on adding callback support for shapeshift.io/sendamount ?
|
|
|
We will add it to the list to look into! Thanks for the suggestion. should you consider magicoin?

Congratulations. After you lied to the public for several months about being a "Swiss company", you finally managed to set this company up. Well, at least I hope it is your company, for there is only one member of the board, a German lawyer. And splitting the stock capital into one million shares makes you look like a penny-stock company.
It seems you are more concerned about a government stamp of approval than our 9 month track record of taking care of customers. And stock capital denomination is arbitrary... why are you using that to slander us?

Thanks for reaching out and the recommendation! We will make sure to add it to our altcoin discovery list. We keep up with all recommendations sent to us so that when we are looking to add a new coin we can see what makes the most sense for us at that time. We will consider GSMCoin and will announce all new coin additions here on Bitcointalk as well as all other relevant forms and social media outlets. Agreed !!! GSM is a beast No scam, great dev and lot of potential to bring crypto to have real world usage. Please add it, you wont regret. I would also recommend adding GSM coin, this coin has a real purpose and the dev is very dedicated. Thanks

Hi, there! We want to update you on the April Fools' Joke. We understand that some people may be upset, but we were just having a little fun. For anyone who did purchase Winklecoin, an email was sent to them at the end of the day on April 1 thanking them for playing along and letting them know that we could a) refund their coins or b) donate them to Sean's outpost. We will be sending another follow-up email to this list this week before we send the donations to Sean's Outpost. Please feel free to email emily@shapeshift.io if you would like to discuss this further. Thanks!
Real fucking funny there shapeshift. Get people to send you actual money for two stupid ass pictures. Nice April Fools joke on people who believe in your service. Go fuck yourself and I hope you lose all the customers you have earned. Way to scam your users. WOW. I thought we had enough of this bullshit with paycoin. See you in New york fuck sticks.
Check your email OPTION 1: Donate Your Bitcoin to Sean's Outpost
ShapeShift loves Sean's Outpost, and what better way to show the love and spread some joy than donating to the cause? All altcoins received through Winklecoin purchases that are not returned to buyers will be donated to this amazing non-profit. Sean's Outpost is the largest provider of meals to the homeless in Escambia County Florida and is the only homeless outreach in the world primarily funded by cryptocurrency.
OPTION 2: Request an Altcoin Refund
Hey, we get it. Every coin can count. So if you would prefer us returning your altcoin to you, click the button below and send us an email that includes your Bitcoin or altcoin address for us to issue your return to and deposit address or TX ID and we will send your coins back within 24 hours.
Most importantly, thanks for your continued support with ShapeShift and for having a little fun with us today!

This guy's nick name behind shapeshift is beorn(Erik Voorhees), hired me as shapeshift Chinese community manager(full-time job with 25 USD per hour rate, about 15BTC per month, 180btc per year) from odesk last year, but he refused to hire me for Community manager after 2 days, he just hired me as a consultant for 4 hours(100 USD). And he gave that job to a Chinese bitch Dana C without a reason, and she didn't know BTC at that time(the ad post says must know btc, but this scammer gave the job to Dana C bitch). Erik and Dana C are both liars. DANA C bitch scammed MY SALARY which should be belonging to me. reference: https://www.odesk.com/applications/282635203original job post: https://www.odesk.com/jobs/Need-Chinese-community-manager-marketer-for-Bitcoin-company_~014f1a75604d53991aThe reality of this situation: Erik started talking with this guy and was considering hiring him months ago. However, he was clearly unprofessional and Erik decided to work with someone else (Dana, who has been amazing). Some people don't take rejection very well.
