the wallet bug destroyed the market liquidity, to get a margin call in this iliquid market is very unfortunate:(

+5%. That statement is good enough for me. Unfortunately I have no more fiat to invest, no more bitcoins and I just can't sell any Bitshares at current prices... The bigger problem though is that I can't use the client due to bugs  :(...when is expected the next release?

If anyone is looking for a reason for the recent downtrend in price, this is it. People are not trading and capital is not moving in because the interface is buggy.

I wish I could tell you man.

I majorly fucked myself last night shorting bitUSD because I got confused using the GUI!   ::)  I'm sure I'm not the only one by the looks of some of these orders.  Luckily I haven't quite hit a margin call yet but I've had several close calls. :(

Well since the time I submitted this post the value of BitUSD has gone up to 38.4 BTSX, which more approximates the current price. Interesting...

So I'd like to shelter some of my BTSX against the current drop in price, so I'm thinking I would want to buy BitUSD. However, I'm seeing BitUSD currently trading for about $0.029 per BTSX (34 BTSX per BitUSD), whereas the current market price is about $0.021 (0.00004250 BTC per BTSX), which is a pretty significant spread. It almost seems more beneficial to cash out into BTC at this point, with BitUSD having such a significant discount. Thoughts?
