Problem with LTB Auctioneer rebate?

Hi,

I was bidding on this auction: http://auction.letstalkbitcoin.com/auction/2-hours-consulting-time-with-adam-b-levine

by sending LTBCOIN to this auction address: 1CfkDPpNwBmddVUvAx5RD3CAqor6hXBxDZ

You can see that I sent 10k, then 15k then 5k LTBCOIN to the auction here: http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1NuoMC7qMKcK5aw8v79NeTEaAMV2gTZV3F&p=1 http://blockscan.com/address.aspx?q=1CfkDPpNwBmddVUvAx5RD3CAqor6hXBxDZ

(I remember this pattern, because initially I was the first bidder, then I accidentally overbid, then made one last bid before being massively overbid and giving up).

Unfortunately, I've only been repaid 15,011 LTBCOIN. From what I understand, I should have been repaid in full (at least). i.e. ~30k LTBCOIN.

The weird thing is that the amount bid by me is also incorrectly displayed as 15,011 LTBCOIN here: http://auction.letstalkbitcoin.com/auction/2-hours-consulting-time-with-adam-b-levine

So it seems I'm still owed ~15k LTBCOIN due to a bug in the software. I'd be surprised if I wasn't the only one seeing this bug.

Many thanks for any help or clarification on this.

Dan.

  @faceface

  I'd be surprised if I wasn't the only one seeing this bug.

  I've just trawled all four of the other ended auctions, but I can't find a single other bidder who bid several times and then lost. i.e. I'm unique so far in meeting that condition. e.g. In all four other ended auctions, people either bid once and lost, or bid several times and won.

  In the former category, I don't see any errors in the rebates.

  I'm guessing the bug I'm seeing in my rebate is todo with bidding several times, but still loosing.

  Cheers, Dan.

  Actually, it seems there are many more than 4 ended auctions, I'm just not sure where to get the list from. i.e. there could be others for whom the rebate was buggy.

  These are the ones I've inspected so far:

  • http://auction.letstalkbitcoin.com/auction/ltbdisplay-ad-token-for-front-page-ad
  • http://auction.letstalkbitcoin.com/auction/ltbdisplay-ad-token-for-front-page-ad-2

  So, @faceface, your second bid of 15,000 LTBcoin happened to be confirmed at block 315480. But, as it happens, block 315480 was confirmed, then orphaned, then confirmed on a new chain.

  https://blockchain.info/block-index/456891

  https://blockchain.info/block-index/456892

  I programmed the auctioneer to handle orphaned blocks, and I simulated the situation as best as I could, but it turns out that it didn't handle this situation correctly.

  I'll be fixing the issue later and I'll send back the missing 15k LTBcoin to you tonight as well.

  Thanks for posting such detailed info.

  I fixed the issue with Counterparty transactions being ignored when a block is orphaned.

  And the 15,000 LTBCOIN is on its way back to you now @faceface.

  And by "now", I mean whenever some miner is nice enough to include that transaction in a block for us... :)
