[GLBSE] REBATE official thread

[exahash]

I have been playing a bit and have some suggestions and an observation:

The math calculations in general need work.  They are very buggy and sometimes wrong.  The interface has bugs which cause the amount of the bid to be incorrect.  Just have the developer actually play the game for a while and they will notice several glaring errors. 

Told you so

Yep They should be fixed now though
//DeaDTerra

Were the math errors introduced by the same programmer who was offering a 3%/week bond?  And was he the one to fix the bug(s)? 

I don't want to smear him, but it kinda goes to credibility.

Please Pm me your email so we can investigate further.

Why does registration require real name? This kind of puts me off :p

The same coders is developing Rebate and BitDayTrade yes
He managed to fix the bug yes.
He's currently put that IPO on hold due to that he's working on Rebate which is taking up his time, I am sure he will return to the IPO and launch it once he's done with Rebate.

Sorry for disappointing you but i'm trying my best to make everything working properly. I don't understand your point about credibility though.

Signup form working now, sorry for your issues.

I don't think it does.

Also, there are good deals going on and no one is bidding, so I'm assuming others are having problems as well. I'm also having problems with balances suddenly turning negative and deposits not showing. PM me if you need a more detailed report, though these were submitted to your contact e-mail as well.

You're not disappointing me, rather the opposite.  I was asking because I'd view you as more credible if you're willing to stick around and correct a mistake, rather than dump the code on the guys running rebate and leave it up to them to get any bugs fixed by someone else.

I'm not seeing any bids nor are deposits going through (6+ confirms)

[ColdHardMetal]

The history page would be much more useful if it showed the auctions you won on the same page as your bids.

It would also be nice to see what the winning bid was. I've had multiple times where my screen is showing me as the highest bidder when the clock strikes 0, but I don't win the auction.

[ColdHardMetal]

I do like the fact the amounts are more significant now.

[vokain]

might i suggest tiers for bitcoins?

That happened to me with my old account as well. I managed to open a new one and deposits worked this time. I guess no one is bidding because:

I've had multiple times where my screen is showing me as the highest bidder when the clock strikes 0, but I don't win the auction.

Well, at least as of now, a popup appears saying "you won", and nothing goes to my balance. Of course the bid amount is reduced. I'm pretty sure there is nobody else bidding in the same auctions, and all auctions I don't enter end with a highest bid of 0.

Will have to wait till these issues get fixed, I have 10 coins in there and I don't want to lose them.

[ColdHardMetal]

This make sense.


Also, now it's telling me I don't have enough balance to place a 0.0001 bid, while showing my balance as being 4.xx BTC.

Balance has to be greater than "Available" + bid.

Ah ok. Took me minute to understand what that meant lol. I wonder why it needs to be like that.

Hmmm. Kind of forcing people to hold higher balances since they've bumped up the scale of the offers.

And now this. Nothing appear in my  "Win" history either, despite it having told me I won.

It seems like yesterdays bug hunt has created some more bugs xD ironically, I will report all of them to the developer and he will fix them asap, hopefully in an hour or two all of them should be fixed

[DeaDTerra]

I have developed millions of lines of code in my day so I do know what I am talking about.  This is one of the sloppiest operations I have ever seen.  Are all of your projects going to be this bad?  Do you guys even test the software at all before you release it?  These bugs are glaringly obvious.  I could maybe understand if bugs being reported were subtle - these are not.  As I have said before all the developer has to do is play the game for a few rounds to fill their bug list with enough bugs to keep them busy for a week.

As a major stockholder I am very disappointed and concerned.

Fix all the bugs in the queue and then test the software and then release it.

There are some bugs that did not show up in our testing environment that we have been working on, we are now closing down the site meanwhile we are working on the bugs. Once the bugs are fixed it will be up again, sorry for this inconvenience.

The site was up, so I signed up, added some coin, and started bidding (around 11 am Eastern).  The first auction I tried #4843610 I bid near the end and it never told me I was outbid, nor that I won or lost.  The second auction #8083224 it popped up in the lower right that I was the winner, but my balance did not go up and I get nothing when I go to history -> Won auctions.

I'm posting this here because you have no support/contact us link on the site.

I have to concur with BurtW (as a developer, shareholder, and user).  I've worked on tons of sites in my day too. For something so basic I would never open it to the public without getting the core functionality 100%.
