Blocktrade update

It’s been a while since our last update, so I wanted to give a quick run down of some of the improvements we’ve been making related to our web service.

Sale of delegations will be re-enabled some time in the next 2 weeks or so
First, since we continue to get emails on this issue, I’d like to announce that we will re-enable delegation sales some time in the next 2 or so weeks. We will not provide any more guidance on an exact time when this will happen. Note that the price for delegations has increased dramatically since its original introduction due to demand and also because of the increase in the price of Steem which it is tied to.

Continued focus on reducing/mitigating user mistakes
Many of the changes we’ve made fall into the “invisible” category. When they do their job properly, the user never has to know the mistake was caught and auto-fixed by the software.

Auto-fix (when possible) bad memos where destination address was mistakenly entered
One common error when people are sending Steem/SBD to us is to put their desired destination address in as their memo when they send to us. If our software can tell what specific coin type they are asking for, it will automatically fix such transactions and send the desired coin type to the requested address. Note that this is only possible when the formatting of the deposit address is unique versus other coins we support.

Auto-fix (when possible) transactions where Steem was sent instead of SBD (or vice-versa)
One common error is when the wrong coin is sent to a deposit address (Steem instead of SBD, for example). We can’t in all cases fix this problem, because we can’t always be sure of what is the “correct” destination to send to, but often we can, and in such cases our system will auto-correct the transaction and process it now.
