what?

I deposited LR into my bitcoin-central account yesterday but it doesn't show up in my balance, not even today... isn't it supposed to be automatic?

[davout]

Hey all,

well the balance update should only be manual for wired Euros, Liberty Reserve handling should be 100% automatic.

I think I've introduced a couple of bugs when deploying the last version, I'm going to fix them this morning and will update everyone here in a little bit.

[davout]

Bugs have been fixed.

Adding LR and withdrawing it, as well as BTC handling should work fine in full automatic mode.

You are now able to transfer money to other BC users using their account numbers (sending funds to an e-mail address does not work yet though).

All balances should be OK.

If you ever encounter a problem, or notice that your balance is not what you expect please e-mail the support@bitcoin-central.net address, use it instead of PMs.

Sorry for the inconvenience and happy trading.

1 question

Why has there not been any trading since Jan 23?

[ribuck]

Why has there not been any trading since Jan 23?

Because no-one has been willing to cross the bid-offer spread.

Because no-one has been willing to cross the bid-offer spread.

They've been crossed for a few hours at least. Selling for 41 cents and buying at 43, but no trade goes.

Yeah there is a problem.

Right now in the LREUR book there are matching orders at 0.27 LEUR/BTC but nothing happens.

PS.  I tried to reedit my order and I got this :

Sorry, I was only looking at the Euro orders.

[davout]

Just came back from my week-end, also I've been able to reproduce the bug.
Seems linked to bitcoin accounts functionality.

i tried to support your project by donating LRUSD to your bitcoin address
(i sold some btc by misstake for LR and i might be just testing ... anyway
when i clicked on transfer money + your bitcoin address from the "Feel free to support ..." line
 i got the following error

1 error prevented your funds from being transferred :

    * Currency is not included in the list


how can i transfer LR to another user account (yours, as donation)?
i would like to use it for balance rounding as well (give away 4th and 5th decimal places)
using the counterparty BTC address (already used with the bitcoin-exchange)
=> the key to match btc-address2bc-123 should exist

sending btc works fine. did not try to send eur to anther account
while unreasonably rate orders can be used for sending eur, they mess the statistics

anyway, great project and thanks for running the exchange
you got my +positive+ rating in the bitcoin-otc.com trust stats

Thank you !
You need to input my BC account number (BC-U313785) to transfer LRUSD to me.
Bitcoin addresses only work for bitcoin transfers, it will remain internal (not go through a bitcoin transaction) if the address is owned by a BC user.

i was getting that even for posting trade orders
usually first there is the confirmation on the create trade order
and second the notification that the trade order was saved and filled or saved and no match found.

Usually, when you create an order, it is executed and trades are created if matches are found, the order amount is updated accordingly, and it is saved for later execution.

i was getting this troll server msg after confirming the trade order creation
without seeing the confirmation.

What do you mean ?

today the (test) orders were cleared (where i did not see the confirmation - step 2 of 2).

I still have a little regression on some trade orders execution, should be fixed tonight.

could we run a test server somewhere with monopoly bitcoins for a few hours
before installing in production, please?

Yes, that would be nice

also my buy order for eur 0.345 was matched at a lower price
is that normal? the trade was performed at 0.3 eur/bitcoin. was the seller just lazy to type or is it a bug?
thanks. not urgent. just thinking loud

Yes, that is normal.

If you post a buy order, the matching orders are :
 - sell orders,
 - with a =< price
 - with a different user id than yours
 - orders for which the seller has sufficient BTC balance

The trade happens at sellers price.
Think of the price you're inputting for a buy order as the maximum price you're willing to pay for a single BTC.

[davout]

i thought that when the server returns an error that the trade orders were not created
... did not pay attention until i found out that they were created and cleared
no harm done

Yes, this is not supposed to happen, it should be completely transactional.

[Raulo]

How does withdrawal of EUR work? There is only an option for an email destination. What then? Will I get instructions for submitting an IBAN number? Any fees?

[grondilu]

Davout has to do all this manually.

I guess he'll be ok for keeping it free as long as we don't complain about the time he gets to do things.

[ploum]

I've asked if there was a way to get my Flattr money on bitcoin-central. That would be awesome :-)

I'll probably answer this evening when I get a hold of a computer that knows my PGP keys

Also sorry for all the people that sent e-mails that I haven't answered to, not ignoring anyone, just been really busy with hardening the code, integration of pecunix and real life

[BioMike]

I've put down a buy order yesterday of 0.60 euro/btc. Now I see on the chart that it recently went down to 0.45 euro/btc, so I expected that my order was handled, but after logging in I see that my order is still there.

Bug?
