Okay so I went to buy sexcoin. Somoeone was offering 228,000 of them for like 0.00001 LTC
Either they are insane or they made a huge mistake. But it sat there and i immediately "grabbed" it.
I dont know if you can "claim" a trade like that though.
My order was accepted. and the lag happened, like it does with every transaction.
And with like every transaction, that offer eventually disappeared off the screen.
Now do I leave it and hope that there's just a lag? And somehow ill be getting 228,000 sexcoins for basically 2 Litecoins?
Or do I give it up and assume its gone?
it's a bug / hack whatever you call it, there are countless such orders all fake and don't work tried them so many times already.
I understand it's confusing to see the buy/sell order overlap so much but the server will just deal the orders in priority of when they were placed, it's not like anybody is able to actually cheat simply because the server is lagging on the trading.
Unfortunately if you see an order of "228,000 sexcoins for 2 Litecoins" there is no way to grab it because people already have buy orders in the system that will meet that price. If you add your bid it gets added to the queue and by the time your bid is processed the 228,000 SXC will be long sold.
In general the graph and open buy/sell orders are often muddled so I've been looking at the market trade history for the best indication of the current price. It's not perfect but keep in mind that these server issues and the amazing gains in alts go hand-in-hand, you wouldn't have one without the other.
