Now that I started using wire trades, I ran into the problem that buyers are supposed to instantly get my bitcoins into escrow so using a simple formula doesn't cut it anymore if I want to protect myself against some wild swings.
http://localbitcoins.blogspot.com/2013/06/this-is-first-in-series-of-posts.htmlThank you but that's not really my point. The thousands of users should not have to dig into these details if the developers of LB can just give them maybe exactly what you came up with. Give the users to tweak some parameters and if that's not enough, let them play but give them some protection against some too stupid price movements. Some "pause advertisement on wild swings" checkbox would maybe be the easiest to understand.
Your best bet is honestly to order to code it for them.
