Thank you for the heads up pc!
I suspected that might have been one of my issues. I checked blockchain.info and sure enough the transaction did not go through. I could also see on
https://wallet.bitshares.org/#/deposit-withdraw that there were no recent transactions.
OK. So at least my method is sound.
I saw the fees listed in the withdrawal dialog box but wasnt completely sure what they related to.
Can you help me clarify the following:
There is a .22941 BTS fee which I am assuming is a flat fee.
Then there is the BTC Gateway fee of 0.0003 Is that fee calculated off of the current price of BTC?
Here is my math.
Current BTS price was $0.50 = BTS Fee of .22941*.5= 0.114705
Current BTC price was $14,000 = BTC Gateway Fee of $14,000*0.0003= $4.20
I changed 7 BTS with a value of about $3.50 in to OPEN.BTC I cant recall what the exchange rate was here but lets just assume it gave me $3.50 in OPEN.BTC
With that math I paid in fees: $4.31 which is greater than the amount of the transfer. OK I feel dumb now but I am learning!
I did a quick search on fees and found a note that indicated that if the fees exceeded the transaction amount that the entire transaction just gets applied to the fees and it can not be reversed. I guess thats fair since I used up some computing power and couldnt pay to complete the transaction.
Thanks again for all the help!
