Bitstamp Order Book 0.00000015 btc selling for $0.

[Alexis]

Just seen something odd in the Bitstamp order book.

If the minimum trade is $5, how can someone be selling 0.00000015 for $0. I would happily buy it for $0 though.
Any ideas?

Though I have never used BitStamp, I used to know it is a real time exchange where buying & selling takes place at market price. Why is it showing individual buying & selling offers like this ?

I assume it was a bigger ask order and a buyer bought it "almost".

Like 0.01 offer then someone bought 0.00999985 so there is 0.00000015 left. Then the 0.00 might be a rounding/display error. I assume the precision on the background is much bigger than 2 decimals.

easy..

some listed a sale and after someone bought most of it, this was left..

Probably too many decimal places are hidden

The buy and sell orders are shown in almost all exchanges.
For example, you can find them in the middle of https://btc-e.com/, and in the bottom of https://www.kraken.com/market
