trades over the weekend at Mt Gox were -1.3% not -0.65%

[Tasty Champa]

I have noticed others that are curious as to why this was happening too.
Everytime I bought and sold on mtgox the trade charge was 1.3%.

that is double.

Then it crashed sunday night.

will anyone else confirm this was happening to them?

did anyone even notice this was happening?

>.<


You are charged 0.65%

if you bought AND sold, you are charged 0.65% twice. Thus 1.3%


That is basic knowledge for daytraders.

How did this not register with you?


EACH TRADE, BUY AND SELL were being charged 1.3%.

[speeder]

Ok, I am not understanding you.


If you only bought BTC, you got charged 1.3%?

[Tasty Champa]

Yes,

place a sell for 25 BTC

you sell

25BTC plus (1.3%) = 25.01300 sold.

you place a buy for 25 BTC

you buy

25BTC minus (1.3%) = 24.98700 bought.

had this happening all over my logbook during the weekend.

That isn't even 1.3%. What are you smoking? 1.3% of 25 is .325, not .013. If you are going to troll something random, at least get the math right. Looks like you were only being charged .052%, awesome. That's 12.5 times less then you are supposed to be. Not to mention when you sell, the .65% is taken out of your new USD, not added to the bitcoins you sell. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've never sold on mt gox.

That is hilarious

see:

25 "plus" (1.3%) = 25.01300 <--------THAT MUCH

Yes,

HAHAHAHA

either trolling or failed out of grade school

You can't argue with a calculator.

[Cdecker]

Rofl you actually calculated 25 plus 1 * 1.3/100
So you summed 1.3 hundredth to your 25 instead of summing 101.3 * 25 / 100

PUTA QUE O PARIU QUE CARA BURRO DU KCT!!!!

Sorry, I had to let out that after this.

But regardless, I don't think that was the point - I'm assuming that lighter previously calculated that trades were charging 1.3 and was just attempting to make an example but failed on the calculation.

calculator troll fail

Well I don't trust his calculations after seeing that. I even pointed out his mistake and he stuck to it.

[Tasty Champa]

even if I suck at calculator.

it was happening.

I was being charged 1.3% each trade.

I haven't had much sleep.

if I had the CSV in front of me I could show you.

Yeah, I really believe you now. Especially since you've such a great grasp of mathematics and how mt gox takes commission.
