I've been having the same problem since I started trying to using Bitshares DEX a few weeks ago. Currently 7 (!) nodes are down, 1 is showing neither up nor down (Public Testnet Server) and only 3 are up, but they all have low latency. One again the DEX is completely unusable!

bad vpn/firewall? What do you mean by 'bad'? I've never had any problems with my VPN or firewall in the past

are you on the testnet for whatever reason? What do you mean here?

does your password work? Yes

changed the nodes? Yes, many, many times, but shouldn't these kinds of connectivity problems be resolved automatically?! I just want a trading experience that is at least as good as a CEX.

tried another wallet? Are you suggesting that the Bitshares wallet I am using is somehow defective? If so, why? Would you recommend a better wallet? Which one?


In case it is not clear from my previous messages, I have been able to place some orders, but most of the time I have not been able to because of what I suspect are systemic problems / problems with the Bitshares nodes (please refer to the rather abstruse comment above: Problem is transactions are going, because witness are sending to our node transactions, but today 70% of witnesses are having over 1000ms latency towards our node, even usually its under 400ms).

Really, really important for trading . .

I can't see that one. The available ones are:

Anyway, I though low latency was good?

Anyone out there?

I have a few questions about the DEX:

1. Here's the price action for the hourly chart in The BTS/bitUSD market, at 1am this morning (+7 hours UTC):

Date: 2017-10-27 01:00 O: 0.0524 H: 0.0530 L: 0.0379 C: 0.0530 Vol: 9203.32273.

The low is 0.0379 BTS, but I have open buy orders above this amount which were not filled. What happened here?

2. When I click the Market Trades tab to investigate further, I can only see trades for the last three hours. How can I see earlier trades to check why my orders were not filled?

3. Not related to the two points above, some of the candlesticks in this chart have a real body with a yellow outline. What does this mean?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.
