If I own BitUSD, and I enter an order to sell it for BTSX, that BitUSD stops accruing yield the moment it goes into the order (right?). I still own BitUSD until the order is filled, but for some reason we've decided not to pay me that yield.

At some point someone said this is justified because if someone is trying to sell BitUSD, they must want to get rid of it, so why should they deserve yield? With all due respect, that's pretty stupid. What about the orders that are way above the feed price, and have a very tiny likelihood of filling? What if I'm selling BitUSD for BitCNY, acting as a market maker? I'm providing a valuable service to the network, but I'm being penalized for it.

So why are we withholding yield from open orders?
