That only happens when people don't check the result in other (not logged in) browser. Preview function would help, too.

So that's why BTCgardener is plummeting!

I have 2 feature requests for the API:

1. Return Order ID in the response of submitting bid/ask
2. When excessive wait occurs, set status to fail and not success

I have 2 feature requests for the API:

1. Return Order ID in the response of submitting bid/ask
2. When excessive wait occurs, set status to fail and not success

To add to point 2, I believe an order placed while there is insufficient funds also returns a success, but with a response-message that contains the error.

Basically, as long as your request is well-formed and the security exists, a submit request will return a success, even though the order may not have been placed.

Basically, as long as your request is well-formed and the security exists, a submit request will return a success, even though the order may not have been placed.

I've fixed both of these in the API response as best I could in a quick manner.  The order # is in the response string.  (sorry, the method that processes the requests only currently returns a string, so it's the only way I could get it in.)  The fail/success I have plugged in a regexp to detect one way or the other.  This is as good as it gets until I can reformat the underlying method call to return an array rather than just the single string.

Can someone please test it at https://btct.co/oauth/trade_new ?  If it passes a few test runs, I'll move it into place.

Cheers.

"Access temporarily denied"

5-10 minute block for too many accesses too fast.  We're very aggressive with our DDoS protections.  We're more lenient if you are logged in.

Cheers.

Thank you.  I adjusted the regex on the "Placed" orders.  Round #2?

The excessive waits I'm still working on... I know they suck. 

[dexX7]

Well, I would.. I think it's essential to get the lock error resolved.

But order ids show up. That's really a good thing.

[pascal257]

The order # is in the response string.

Thanks, haven't noticed that. Should be fine for now.

Sweet.  Moved it from oauth/trade_new to oauth/trade.  Thanks again!

@burnside: why not str_replace("&nbsp;", " ", $news_text); ?

because...:

I'm not sure how exactly to filter that... in the db interface it looks like this:

We�have�received�our�sample-PCB�and�it�is�being�tested�in�every�aspect.�

Really strange.

I think the real technical issue behind this is could be a headache to back trace.

As far as I have experienced, � appears as a sign of a stream decoding error while parsing (supposedly broken or corrupted) Unicode, especially through a database with certain settings. I believe it may be related to a special CJK whitespace character that is rendered as a non-breaking space, but it is not the HTML entity. And it probably appears as � in your DB backend.

Best real world solution IMO: copy and paste in a Unicode supporting text editor, and search & replace the offending whitespace with the standard U+0020

Cheers

EDIT: In TextWrangler, there is this wonderful command called "Zap Gremlins", which does exactly what we want here, i.e. convert every strange thing into plain old regular straight ASCII

You may want to used the sanitized quote:

We have received our sample-PCB and it is being tested in every aspect. Everything s running well so far. ( Mass production of PCBs will start later and can be finished within one week in Shenzhen)

We also dealed with an acquaintances packaging factory to shorten the Package period from 10days to 3days. I.E. we will get our chips in hand only 3-4 days later after out of  Fab.

We will hold a meeting next weekend in Beijing to discuz our future plans incl.: 2nd gen chips, deployment plans for 1st gen chips, application of analog circuit  in our project , a lot of experts both on R and D have been invited.

Keep the database in unicode, and use CSS property `overflow-x:hidden;`

[DrGregMulhauser]

Depending on whether there are some special characters which you do actually want to preserve, or whether you'd like to knock everything down to a safe least common denominator, these kind of gremlins often succumb to judicious use of utf8_decode()/utf8_encode or if necessary iconv().
