I just wanted to let everyone know that I e-mailed Olaf and he credited me the difference that I lost from the sale order being cancelled.  Took less than 18 hours.

Thanks very much.

No.  They didn't even tell me the sale was cancelled (via e-mail or notification or anything).  I just noticed by going through history that the transaction is listed as cancelled.  I am really confused and feel like this should be a big no-no.  Especially since when I sold it was at $1200 per coin.

So I put in a support ticket and have searched the internet like a madman.  I can't find any other problem similar to this at all.

Am I really the ONLY person who has had a sell order on Coinbase cancelled?

No one?

It just seems like this sort of thing would really reduce their credibility.

So December 4th I sold .75BTC at 1200 for $830 on Coinbase.

Or so I thought.  The next morning I received an e-mail 'You just received .75 BTC'.  I checked my Coinbase account and sure enough I got back the exact amount I sold the night before.  Now when I check the Buy/Sell history it still shows up as a sale, but if you click on the actual transaction the status is cancelled. 

How is it fair that they cancel your BTC sale?

yeah man in hindsight it makes you feel like a greedy jackass every time.  but at the time i am worried that by selling and it continuing to climb i'll feel like a chump.

Makes me so sad to join the slaughtered herds. 

But I did think China played a huge role in it's 200-1200 increase and expect it to drop to maybe 400 or so.  Might as well sell not and reinsert later.  I just sold 4 parts of my soul

I think there was also an issue with him scamming people for some sort of Bitcoin Summit.  It was in the Netherlands or something and supposedly was going to be the most luxurious trip with like all sorts of amenities (I remember he was particularly proud of his filtered water).

I don't think you are familiar with a matrix but it is basically exactly what you described.  Keep mind that an array is just a 1d matrix.  Price, amount, time-- that is a 3d matrix.

The data as you described it is exactly what you need for the mesh command.

Overkill?? For this one purpose maybe but a lot of people use matlab all the time and have it for any of there needs(myself included).

No data manipulation required.  Just the bid/ask sums at each point in time for each price.  This provides the x, y, and z matrices it requires.

It would just be mesh(bid/ask sums, price, time)

If you have the matrices at least, which should be easy to get.

I think matlab would be 100x easier than any if these options.  Just input data as matrices, (time, bid, volume, etc) and graph using mesh command.  Make a movie if you want as well.

Well understanding the concept and correctly implementing it are different things.  Stop making assumptions about me that I did not say.  I said YOU.  Because 99% of the people on this forum do not understand it.

No a wise man doesn't (and since I am working on my graduate degree now that 'ideal' you hint at me having has not yet taken root).  However most people do.  And trusting in something with a complicated name that YOU don't understand because someone says they got a B.S. in physics is a sure way to get burned (as proven today).  Especially when a physics degree does not directly prepare you for that complicated thing.

Not at all a stab at your credentials.  I don't think any B.S. will prepare you for it. 

I should also say that I don't think a B.S. in physics gives you anywhere near what is required to develop fractal or Fibonacci or whatever analysis on bitcoins.

To do this well, in my opinion, you would need a PhD in Finance with a background heavy in algorithmic techniques.

A B.S. in physics means that you know a little bit about all of physics but nothing very well.

Alright Zangelbert...

Here it is. 

You just don't understand physics.  The concepts are not easy and cannot easily be explained well with words.  When they are described strange words like 'want' and 'feel' or 'see' are used to explain phenomena that formula explain better and more completely.  What you are doing is called misapplying.

You also shat on physics saying that engineering is what actually accomplishes things like cell phones, gps, etc etc.  I am an engineer--an electrical engineer in fact--who is very much involved in the creation of electronic devices.  Electrons, like light, also have a wave-particle duality (as do all things).  Take for example a tunneling diode.  In this device, electrons wavefunction (as described by Schrodingers equation) extends through an impenetrable barrier.  Here, electrons will behave like waves and sometimes, miraculously, show up at the other side of the barrier and create a current.  These are used ALL THE TIME and are INCREDIBLY PREDICTABLE.  Those nonsense equations from physics? Yeah they predicted it.

Or take Carbon Nanotube Transistors.  Here, electrons travel via ballistic transport.  This means they are like bullets, and much more particle like. 

This seemingly opposite behavior does not mean physics are wrong--engineers make things everyday using these equations.

What it means is that you do not have a good enough grasp of the concept.

How did you bust him?  How is that like saying a 2013 Casascius is a collectors item??

It is clear you think you're a lot more clever than you are.  What I would recommend is a solid dose of reality--take an IQ test and realize that you are not as smart as you think you are (I would put a guess around 90).  You just bought bitcoins and made a lot of money.  The two are not the same.

The constant flaunting of your success is both pathetic and pitiful.  It's great you got somewhere you never expected to be--but sad how much you have to advertise it.

Wow we are all so jealous of your success and fancy food.  Filtered water hard to come by in your country? LOL. 

Honestly seeing you flaunt it like this makes me want BTC to crash hard to the ground (not really though because I do own bitcoin).  You are a great example of 'new money'.  You got lucky (call it what you want but there is certainly a degree of luck involved in BTC) and now have more money than you ever imagined.  The years spent looking up to people who had a little more makes you feel the need to outdo them and post about it here.  This over-extravagance is pretty cliche for a newly rich person.

Pride before the fall much?

Explain this 'motivation to sell'.  I don't mean to be cliche but, buy low sell high?? How are the recent wave of big money buyers motivated to sell low two days after they purchased?

I just have to say that wasn't it your parents who adopted these kids?  Sure they are your brothers and sisters but it's not like you can really take credit for adopting them.
