Bug report: After cancelling a bid, the newly available balance is updated on the page, but not updated for the calculator

Hey everyone,
I am happy to say that we already have more than 50 ppl in line for the beta queue.

As for when you will get access, we are going one by one seeing how our initial information, etc works out, and updating.
We will get to you, just give some time. Might even be a few days or longer.

Hey everyone,

I am happy to say that beta testing of the API system is underway.
If you want to be included in the beta send me a pm and I will add you to the list to get access as we are ready for you.

Right now it is going on a person by person basis going over documentation, functionality, and ease of use.

Hehe, I am still working on the docs for it.
Lot's of things like to spring up during these stages of a site launch, esp. with everything else going on.

I will be opening to some users soon enough.

Any ETA on the API?

Your going to laugh when you hear this but I think it's my fault. I had somehow capitalized my account name on weexchange.co and I had forgotten I did that. All this time I was entering the lowercase version. On a lark I checked the automatic email they (just) sent me and noticed the account name was capitalized.

Fancy that!

Thanks for guiding me through this. It's appreciated. Let it never be said that Bitfunder does not have accessible customer service.

Not sure what is up with the support email response.

There is a link on the login box on https://weexchange.co for password recovery.

Yeah, looks like someone bought out the last SDICE on sale then relisted at 10* price - so anyone not looking closely would think there were some pretty cheap on sale when in fact they were marked up by 900%.  Makes me wish I hadnt sold mine off a day or so back.

Yes, I believe it had happened because even through the shares were selling for 0.003 or something, the lowest ask was 0.03, lol. Someone's pretty happy that they made a 10* return on SDICE!

Can confirm that I've previously (intentionally) placed orders at prices above lowest ask and it correctly filled at price of lowest Ask.

Talked to TradeFortress for some details.
Did some testing, so far everything looks correct.

It appears that the price was correct.

Will be keeping an eye on things and will further testing to be sure though.

Let me take a look at that. It should not happen that way.

What is going on with this?  I have not used BitFunder yet so I don't know.  Often I will purchase a lot of shares and just put my max price.  Will BitFunder just purchase all the shares at the max price I set and the exchange keep the difference from the sell offer?

OK, if I bid 1 BTC and lowest ask is for 0.01 BTC, it should have charged me 0.01 BTC instead of 1 BTC.

This is not how stock markets work. You go for the lowest price that is within bid. Only cost me less than a dollar due to a typo but this needs to be fixed

Hey Bob

Since WeExchange is operating a btc exchange, much like MTGox, etc, and we deal in fiats, we ask users for their information as a responsible business.
This is no different then mtgox or other exchanges that have taken proper care by doing this to help avoid fraud.

Since many people wish to be able to use the account just for handling BTC, that's great! That is the whole idea/hope for btc!
Currently btc is an unknown item, and its standing as a commodity/currency/status is undetermined. Until/unless it becomes mandatory, or any special circumstances arise, we do not see any reason to require id verification for handling BTC itself.

Not the case.

As an asset issuer on BTC.CO you're automatically sent an email every 12 hours containing a list of email addresses/number of shares for your asset.  You can also obtain that list via API any time you want. 

So there was no need for Ian to inform burnside ahead of time.  Any asset issuer can walk off any time they choose - they just have to lock trading (which an asset issuer can do), get an updated list via API and they're set.

Please elaborate...

Definitely.
If it ever comes down that WeExchange must require id verification to deposit or withdraw BTC, then an alternative, beit direct or not, will be made available on BitFunder.

Yes, when Ian contacted me about the migration I do not recall a mention of if he was having a vote or not.
Although, in retrospect I do not think there was ever a real vote to move to btct.co either.
Just some forum posts by a mix shareholders, and non-shareholders at the time. (Granted I am not privy to any emails so I may have missed it there.)

I guess that was setting a precedent ? It seemed users at that time did not necessarily care where/what Ian did, as long as they got their
shares/divs. btct was not the only option at the time, crypto was around as well.

And yes, I can see how having to use his BitFunder account to claim shares that were originally on his exchange could be annoying, but in the end
it really should not matter really. You are buying the shares to be part of the asset, and support the asset, really regardless of where they are. I own
shares of lots of things that are not on BF. Would I be sad if I had to use another site to manage those shares? Depends on if I actively trade there
already or not, but I would be sad to see the asset leave. Would I get grumpy and dump all my shares of that asset because of some imaginary turf
war and possibly hurt the trading value of the asset, and other peoples value over it? Seems childish, emotional and irrational.

Edit: While writing this he made the above post. Apparently it seems his reasons for wanting to dump his shares of bakewell is because he does not want anyone having any kind of information about him. Although once the issue of him needing a WeExchange account is solved, it would become a non-issue I would think ?

Although, being that he did provide Ian with the list, he actually knew ahead of time, and made the decision to not act on 'inside information' and allowed his shares to be transferred w/o selling them off first.

Regardless of what exchange my shareholders are on, I will continue to hold them, trade them, earn divs from them, and reinvest into them as I see fit.
