Or an API fee.
Nope.
That would be silly.
The point of APIs is to prevent bots from using anyway the services through "workarounds", i.e. lessening the server load.
If you charge for using the API, bots would be rewritten to use the same web interface as the users, increasing much the load on the server.

That's why I suggested asking a fixed fee for any operation, be it user or bot, API or not.

Actually the real solution would be to charge a low fee for every order placed, whether it is fulfilled or not or canceled.
Or just for cancellations.  Or after a limit.  Abuser pay, as it were.



Trying to recall think there was an option like that on BTCT or maybe not if so then it would be a nice feature to add to havelock

IIRC they had higher trade fees for non-2FA accounts?  I don't recall any order or cancellation fees.  Of course, that was before breakfast this morning, and therefore somewhat fuzzy  Grin

Ah right that was it to promote more secure authentication only the 2FA sometimes timed out on you more often than not Smiley
So your right guess it hasn't occurred yet fees for using the bots rapidly since some trades should be allowed at no fee just a lot of them at one time etc.

Or an API fee. If you are using it to good effect, perhaps you'd like to pay for it's upgrading before it brings the house down  Cheesy

The 600 call per minute limit for the API needs to be lowered.  This is enough, honestly.  Enough geniuses on here know how to program in php with the parameters to beat bid/ask by 1 or 10 satoshis that its now made the site completely unusable every time a live user tries to put in an order.

Cut it in half and see where that gets us.

600 calls per minute?!!!!   That is way too high.   It should be lowered to about 60 a minute.    I agree the site is now a pain in the butt to use.

300 per 10 minutes*

Burning the old midnight oil a little too long there lol
Okay I vote for your 300 per 10 minute limit.  Something needs to be done.


Nope, that's the current limit, and its still causing problems with the site.  Either the server needs upgraded or we'd need to dial down the bots a bit.  The problem is that user-initiated orders set of a chain reaction across the entire orderbook (and if you try trading BDD at all, especially EXCH...it just shits the bed).

The main problem is that there isn't enough people trading there.   Of coarse the site needs to stay up for people to use it, but just the same the markets are really thin.

Actually - indexing the book values to current shares would be extremely useful too, as over time, volatility in asset prices across the exchange have made this feature virtually useless for me.

Fix that API software so that the bots don't crash the server so often

Perhaps include a DRIP option for some funds that pay dividends like btct used to for different funds.

Eh yeah - what causes that?  Server being overloaded by packets? Damn APIs.
Well it does seem that some bots are operating there.

Anyone else trading right now?  System's being real laggy

Lag isn't my problem, it is the site goes offline every few minutes.    Well, actually it is timing out ... so maybe that is your lag.  Grrrrrr  Angry   Guess I'm a year too late.

This doesnt seem too stabile

Just tried it ... actually made .003 BTC on a quick set of trades from .4 BTC.   Tried doing it a second time and the site seems to have gone down.    I know the amount is tiny, it was just an experiment.  

Error 522 ... website is offline ... oh well.

Came back in about 30 minutes ... seems down again though.  Cheesy

Web site is too unstable ... however I did manage to make .021 off of .4 BTC.   But that trade dried up.
