is this " a big announcement" or just an announcement ?
When I saw  "a big announcement" yesterday , I thought it will be something like giveaway or contest from shapeshift

[RealMalatesta]

In the stories they write that Shapeshift is a Swiss company, however, I can not find any company by this name in Switzerland. How comes?

[dooglus]

I decided to try the ShapeShift service, since I've linked to it from the Just-Dice FAQ and figured I should make sure it's worth linking to.

I told it I wanted to deposit CLAM and receive BTC. It told me to deposit up to 107 CLAM, so I did. The BTC arrived within about 30 seconds. So far, so good.

Then I clicked 'another exchange'. It reset the current pair to BTC->LTC. It would be nice if it could remember the pair I most recently used and default to that. I'm not likely to ever buy LTC. So I set it to CLAM->BTC again, and it told me to deposit up to 0.03 CLAM. That's about 5 cents' worth of CLAM.

Did I use up all the available conversion power of the site in a single transaction? It seems to be doing the exchange on Poloniex on demand, so why can't it just adjust the price it is offering and let me exchange more? Could it be that the service's Poloniex account is out of BTC now, and so I have to wait for them to redeposit? Or is the on-exchange BTC earmarked separately for each currency pair, so there's BTC available for buying LTC, but none for buying CLAM? Or maybe even it sees I'm from the same IP as before, and is limiting me but not other people?

Whatever's happening, it would be useful if the site would tell me: "please wait 10 minutes while we deposit BTC to the exchange", or whatever, so I have some idea of what the problem is and don't just think that 0.03 CLAM is really the maximum deposit size.

Hi Dooglus, good questions, as always!

The issue is just one of how much inventory of CLAMS we hold. We've had a decent number of CLAMS transactions over the past few days, so we're going to increase our holdings and this will increase the deposit limit and reduce the issue that you're having.

"Did I use up all the available conversion power of the site in a single transaction? "  Yes, basically. We'll solve that by holding more inventory.

"It seems to be doing the exchange on Poloniex on demand, so why can't it just adjust the price it is offering and let me exchange more?"  The exchange is not happening with Poloniex, but directly with ShapeShift... thus our level of inventory is important.  (if we just routed the order through poloniex it would take more than an hour at least to process orders)

" Or is the on-exchange BTC earmarked separately for each currency pair, so there's BTC available for buying LTC, but none for buying CLAM?"  Nope, not earmarked for certain pairs.

" Or maybe even it sees I'm from the same IP as before, and is limiting me but not other people?" Nope, IP doesn't matter.

Fundamentally there is always a tension between price/speed/deposit limits.  Increasing one often means scaling back another (ie - deposit limit can increase but we can't offer as good of a price, etc). We can combat this generally by just holding more inventory of coins, but that has business costs as well. So it's a careful balancing act.

Regardless, more CLAMS on the way!

[ShapeShift.io]

Much higher limits now at www.ShapeShift.io for CLAMS, enjoy!

Do you have some way that I can link to ShapeShift and have it automatically show BTC->CLAM as the currency pair?

Something like this?

    https://shapeshift.io?sell=btc&buy=clam

And do you have an affiliate program, where I get paid for sending people to your site? Or is that only it I use the API to integrate shapeshift into my site?

[LethalBits]

@dooglus, I also had the same problem with BTC>>PPC, but they increased there PPC reserves. I like this platform, so far most stable instant exchange site. I used several other exchange sites but I love this most because of rates, no technical issues and fast, co-operative staff

[coinsentry]

On the front end f shapeshift, it says there is a minimum amount for each currency. This minimum amount is not listed in the API anywhere. How is this minimum value calculated. Is it pegged to a USD value? I noticed the bitcoin minimum is 4218 satoshis, which is about 1 penny. Are all currencies set to a one penny minimum?

Also, I'm unfortunately going to have to remove shapeshift.io integration from my project because of the new minimum amount requirement. The way my app works, is it sends lots and lots of small amounts from many senders, but to a relatively small number of recipients. Most shifts from me will be $0.05 and less. Most probably under $0.01

Maybe if shapeshift.io worked such that it keeps shifts under the minimum internally until the total amount exceeds the minimum, then makes the deposit.
