I just put an order to buy XCP on-exchange! (w00t, first non-burner?&nbsp; 8) )  
  
  
  
My order got rounded OR it’s showing up incorrectly in the market command.&nbsp; (Thought I was above the best bid, turns out I ended up on second best.&nbsp; Maybe the matching engine will handle more accuracy, while the IO stream/print statement doesn’t)  
  
  
IMO, at the point of confirm, it should prompt you if your order will be rounded on exchange.  
  
  
Now - what happens if I get filled?&nbsp; It rounded down, so I’m okay - but if it had rounded up - yikes!&nbsp; Similarly on the flip side, for sellers.  
  
  
I see that there is a HOT FIX for something to do with rounding, on test, as of 6 days ago.&nbsp; If nobody replies, I’ll look at this tonight.

FWIW, that’s me, bidding on 76 XCP @ 0.001307 (8c9a…)&nbsp; …this is so cool!
