5th transaction with BITSTAMP and still happy.
I love the security feature which requires (EMAIL CONFIRMATION) during transaction. This is a great security feature/mechanism just in case...

Well, apart of informing the government of your country, your ISP, several independent ISP vendors, the government of the USA, China and your national government and several independent hackers of your financial affairs, it is a nice feature to have.
Especially when it allowed the hackers to steal coins from bitcoin.cz accounts and others.

Oh, there is two-step authentication via third party named Google-spy-know-all, if you are comfortable with it. Ownership of Google-controlled Android phone is mandatory. Your e-mail, phone calls will be recorded and the data shared with the US government as a precaution, should you mean any trouble to them.

Minor point, I know, but I don't think an Android phone is mandatory. Google Auth has iOS app for iPad & iPhone for example.

what's the point to use google authenticator if using the trading API anyone that steals my username and password can empty my account?

If I remember that correctly, I had to enable API access in my account settings before I could start using the API.

So it's disabled by default, i.e. only API traders will have it enabled, and those should know what they are doing.

If I remember correctly, hosting a trade bot on a rented server introduces this unnecessary vulnerability.

Noticed something similar some days ago where I had a total USD amount of -$0.06. I have USD on my account, but 100 % in open orders. It was $0.00 yesterday as intended and shouldn't be negative.

Edit: ahh ... never mind. My fee level changed and so did the final price of my open orders.

Bitstamp trading engine at its finest. Disgusting.

So, you paid a fee of 0.32 USD, although you should have paid only 0.31 USD.

In other words, they took 200 satoshi and charged 0.01 USD for taking it. Nowhere does it say it was me though.

Just a reminder for everybody: "International withdrawals will be charged with 0.09% fee, minimum fee is $15.00."
If they didnt slap u with that 15$ that has been extremely fair by them.

How do other exchanges solve this problem?

I think it would be a possible solution to increase the number of decimal places on the USD side of the transactions.
The logic of fixed-point arithmetics tells that if you have 8 decimal places for the BTC amount, and 2 decimal places for the price, then you need to have 8 + 2 = 10 decimal places for the USD amount in order to get a lossless calculation.
But how can you explain the average user that you can trade 0.0000000001 USD just fine, while you cannot cash it out?

Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere, but I couldn't find it on the site: Are there any fees for converting USD to EUR during withdrawal or deposit?

There are no fees, the funds get converted automatically by our bank's daily exchange rate spreads which you can examine here: http://www.unicreditbank.si/tecajna_lista/?t=1&id_menu=&language=ENG

It looks like the conversion fee is about .5% each way for major currency pairs. I think you guys should promote the heck out of this, because no one even realizes that mtgox lists their order at 2.5% less in markets other than the currency that their account is in, which completely rapes everyone with a non-USD account. It is usually much better to convert funds to USD.

I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it works using POST parameters? The server used to be very distinctive about GET and POST parameters.

+1

POST instead of GET did the trick. Limit = 300000 works very fine, higher numbers will probably too. Thanks! Wink

The problem with the new API is that "offset" is counted from the latest transaction backward, while you can't know what the latest transaction is, as you haven't queried it, yet.

Very accurate.

Looks like I have to do some coding again Undecided

(I am lazy.)

But we can all admit that the old API wasn't optimal either, was it?

I am very sad about the API change. Skip, offset? And limited to a max request of 100 trades?

Tell me, how do I fetch "all trades since 1st june" now? Iterate over and over again with a limit of 100 results and proceed with a smallish offset like 60 to avoid missing new trades, because there is no relation between offset and anything else?

The old fetch wasn't optimal, but this is dissatisfying and will create way more requests and an even bigger overhead. Suggestion: from, since time or TID.

And please create a newsletter for developers or publish a PSA for further changes.
