BTC transfers. can see transfer, no balance transfer.

[gsrcrxsi]

so i got some BTC "dust" from a faucet site(s). and wanted to test out how this works before i lose a larger sum.

could see the balance in my BTC wallet on blockchain (online). so i plugged in the address to my bter account.

i transfered the entire balance, 0.00001128BTC (approx $0.09 at the time a few days ago).

upon transfer from blockchain, i was given a warning that i needed .00002128 BTC to transfer the .00001128 amount. and i selected adjust amount.

at that time, my BTC balance on blockchain went to 0.000000BTC. huh? i thought it just said it wouldnt let me transfer. oh well.

i checked out my bter balance, still 0.00000, however i can see the transfer. so i waited a few days since i did not transfer a fee.

a few days later, the transfer is still there, with 466 confirmations, and there is no balance on bter still.

whats the deal? did i do something wrong?
lessons learned?

When you transfer such a miniscule amount between services, you probably end up with 0.

My guess is that the entire amount went to transfer fees (mining fees). You should be able to see that if you look at the transaction details on blockchain.info

Post the tx id?  Based on your vague explanation it is hard to understand what you were doing or trying to do.

this was a test transfer to make sure i have the right method/process when i actually NEED to transfer something more meaningful.

according to that, it should still have transferred .0000128 BTC, but my account on bter still shows 0.000000

So if 15vDgtGfyenStzEhddGmGfWS8bATu9sysP was your bter deposit address then the funds have been sent there.  If they haven't credited your account you should contact bter.

thanks for the help, i will contact them.

but other than the very small amount transferred. did i do anything glaringly wrong? by the looks of things, it SHOULD have transferred correct?

any advice on if i should not use bter in the future because of this? can you use bter as a wallet? or is it not designed to be used that way? basically i was going to use blockchain as my main wallet, and then transfer to bter for exchanges. or is that not wise?

i like the idea of an online wallet, since you can access it anywhere. but i understand the risks. routine backups of the online wallet should be performed, right?

sorry for all the questions and sorry if i'm ever unclear. just trying to learn.

Ok. Bter replied to my email and said that the amount was too small to be credited, but that when I deposit more, they will add it in.
