Hi, I posted 0.05 BTC for USD about an hour ago. (wanted to try out the sell option). It gave me an error but it removed the coin from my “available balance”. Should I see the 0.05 BTC in the “reserved in offers” box at the top of the window? Because that box is still empty… did I lose by 0.05 BTC?

Never-mind, I shut-down the program and restarted. The BTC is in the “Available balance”
