This is probably obvious but I just want to make sure I understand it right - the ‘minimum amount of bitcoin’ field when creating an offer is for partial matches?

So I have 0.5btc I want to sell at x price, but I don’t mind if somebody just buys half of that for the same price?

If so, then what happens to the rest - does it get returned to my wallet and I have to create a new offer, or does the offer remain open with the remaining coins I have to sell?

The rest get to your wallet (if its a seell offer) once a trader takes your offer.

Manfred, you might want to consider keeping the order open with the remaining banlance. It’s done like that on [bitcoin.de](http://bitcoin.de) for example.

It makes sense in my opinion.

Yes that feature is on the todo list. it is not that trivial as it sounds though (need new security desposit, fee…)
