They also have a buggy trading engine, fucked up orderbook,
I've noticed the bid is sometimes higher than the ask. What is with that?
you can, and i have, put in orders a lot higher than the ask and vise versa, it will show but only for a sec, if you refresh its gone. ya supposed to automatically refresh, and it will but to speed it up then just refresh. but it wont let you place a bid higher then 20%. i was trying to mess with it one day using like .02 bitcoins and see if it would raise the price and have it show on bitcoinity, but twenty on eather side is what it will let you do, also above 10% it gives you a warning that you are giving your money away and that your dumb lol.
bitstamp is for me the better of the two evils. if gox is going up stamp is behind so i know to buy if its going down i know to sell. ill be ahead of the game. ya there are bad things but there are also good thing. if you have 100S of coins then ya not the most secure place to put it but if you want quick trades and you coins to fiat fast with no lag then for sure stamp. good for about a hundo coins. but i have never had a buy/sell order that didnt go threw, as in orders like ten up ten down. they are a good exchange but if you want to stick with gox that is fine but the noobs should know about this exchange and gox should not have .70% of the market imo.
