Topic: Lost money on the market

I recently added a bid of 7000000000 iron for 0.01g...it took out the correct amount of money (70 mil gc) but it only put a bid of 2147483647 iron (21474836.47gc) so in essence I lost 50mil gc...

I am guessing that I probably won't get the money back, but to possibly prevent this from further happening again to anyone else, isnt there a way to add an "if" statement in the market bid calculations to then allow for posting the maximum possible bid and taking out the gc accordingly?

Also, it would be nice if the gc could be returned for EOR jumps tongue

I did consider that, but I know getting close to EOR the price will drop to the point noone wants to buy (there wont be a point...)
