Changing asking price changes amount of kuwal on the market.

I have found that if you create a trade and then later adjust the price, it rounds your kuwal to another number and you lose that kuwal.

Example

50b kuwal paying 50m per AT = 1k ats << starting point
changed the rate to 52,631,578 = 950 ATs << kuwal amount on the market is 49,999,999,100
changed rate to 53m = 943 ATs << kuwal amount on the market is 49,979,000,000

total lost kuwal is 21m

Any suggestion on what could be done, except maybe writing a note telling people to avoid changing the price too often, would be welcome.

I can't make it so that the excess goes back since then you could recover the full offer back and then literally use it like an infinite bank (partially you can use it now too but at least someone has to accept those resources first)

Neither can it work by asking 943.3 AT's in return since in the database it'd rollover into a full integer

maybe a market fund...

I was thining about this.
Maybe have people buy market funds...

1 kuwal = 1 market fund

Then if someone changes the price the market funds come back to them

You can not convert market funds back to kuwal, can only be used on the market

maybe a bonus if you withdraw kuwal from market and have it go directly into market funds?

which means I have to make something like an extra bank/temp storage thingy for the market
for uu's and kuwal

not really sure about it

put the kuwal in the bank, or let the game remember the total amount of kuwal and when there is less left than what you need to buy 1 uu or at, then it will go back to your bank.

I was thinking that too, but admin pointed out it then becomes a bank....
your suggestion was the exact exploit we were trying to avoid.

I'm not trying to be an A$$ here but isnt "exploits" kinna mute since it is an unlimited bank already? I mean if nothing is going to be changed from what it is now, whats wrong with adding another exploit if it fixes a true problem?

My second suggestion actually prevents it from being used as a bank. You haven't read it properly.

But I really think you guys should chill. You are so focused the bank issue, like there was nothing more important to improve.

I'm not focused onit. I just hate losing funds.

I didnt know I was losing funds until you made this thread. I thought it goes to bank automatically, but never bothered to check if it's really true. It seems illogical that the funds simply disappear.

no, you didn't understand what I wrote

I wrote I have to create another storage place, obviously it wouldn't become a bank since it'd be a temp storage to cover for any leftovers i.e. it grows for some time as you change the rates and eventually there's enough in the bank to cover for this changed rate so it drops back somewhat, rinse and repeat
