Title: I'm confused about an order
Post by: DownSouth on May 01, 2013, 10:36 pm
I placed this order, but I am confused how 3 X .07 = .22 and not .21 ???

price   quantity   sub-total   postage   total   hedged
฿0.07    max: 4    ฿0.22

Thanks.....

That's rounding. Internally the prices are calculated with much more precision than the 2 digits displayed.

So, in your case it could be 0.073, which is rounded to 0.07. But the total of 0.073 x 3 = 0.219, which is rounded to 0.22

If bitcoin rate goes up, prices will probably be displayed with more precision or in mBTC.

Bitcoin is evil I swear I lose $$$ everytime I own them. When I don't own them they always going up.. Couldn't imagine what sellers feel.. I'm sure they have a good way to get rid of them fast though!
