This is a mirror of the original BitMEX trollbox archive that used to be online here. BitMEX disabled their archive after the DDOS attack so I have decided to make my mirror publicly available.
Well now, a few days after I made this mirror available to the public, the original archive from BitMEX is online again. But since it is still limited (neutered to the last few hundred messages) I will keep my FULL mirror alive.

What? [2016-02-21 12:41:08] tscha : j8: fix is stable according to micmix [2016-02-21 12:41:24] Tulip_stefan : i use websocket from europe and the disconnects are annoying, but i've learned to code around them. [2016-02-21 12:41:31] habibi : Tulip_stefan: 20cny is not 10$ [2016-02-21 12:41:46] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: have you seen the 4h chart? [2016-02-21 12:42:02] BTCDJS : it kinda makes sense [2016-02-21 12:42:50] rapidtrades : i know it makes sense...ive been saying $450 will be tough since yday...still stinks that they waited for our settlement to dump [2016-02-21 12:42:51] elmorte : BTCDJS: Which one? [2016-02-21 12:43:29] habibi : u'r joking right? [2016-02-21 12:43:44] BTCDJS : habibi: ? [2016-02-21 12:43:45] rapidtrades : habibi: talking to me b1tch?

[2016-02-21 12:44:35] rapidtrades : clearly [2016-02-21 12:44:39] habibi : for 100k contracts long/short settlement? [2016-02-21 12:45:07] rapidtrades : yeah that's why it doesn't make sense [2016-02-21 12:45:27] habibi : poor rapidtrades i though u mre inteligent :p [2016-02-21 12:45:49] Tulip_stefan : perhaps they're doing it because it doesn't make sense. [2016-02-21 12:45:56] rapidtrades : well then u try, why did they wait until 13:00 to sell [2016-02-21 12:46:06] rapidtrades : we've been at $450 since last night [2016-02-21 12:46:39] elmorte : BTCDJS: ok....what's the significance of a 4h chart? You keep bringing out up [2016-02-21 12:46:47] elmorte : It* [2016-02-21 12:47:07] habibi : i dont know but i won't rationalize with such anserws :) and not everything has to be rationalized in that way. maybe out of pump fuel and so\ [2016-02-21 12:47:43] rapidtrades : idk this dump is still suspect to me [2016-02-21 12:48:21] rapidtrades : feels like attempt to push out the weak hands [2016-02-21 12:48:32] BTCDJS : elmorte: its a step. [2016-02-21 12:50:01] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: and what would happen when weak hands are pushed out? [2016-02-21 12:50:19] elmorte : Still Spanish to me...What you mean? [2016-02-21 12:51:01] justinlooking : rapid you think we're at bottom of correction yet? [2016-02-21 12:52:11] BTCDJS : elmorte: hang on let me try to share my chart [2016-02-21 12:52:41] elmorte : Thanks [2016-02-21 12:56:04] BTCDJS : elmorte:https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/LIun8XcZ-long/ [2016-02-21 12:57:49] odieoh : How do I isolate margin now? [2016-02-21 12:59:00] BTCDJS : you still get the option to isolate or cross on the confirmation when you place an order [2016-02-21 12:59:24] odieoh : right, but what about after the fact? [2016-02-21 12:59:33] odieoh : I used to be able to just click next to the position [2016-02-21 12:59:39] BTCDJS : or you can choose 100x on the left in position tab [2016-02-21 12:59:59] chromaticcr : BTCDJS: I see what you did here [2016-02-21 13:00:17] habibi : 100x and market order, i heard that the pack of money makers here [2016-02-21 13:00:19] BTCDJS : chromaticcr: ? [2016-02-21 13:00:44] elmorte : chromaticcr: damn, that makes one of us @BTCDJS [2016-02-21 13:01:05] elmorte : I'll get on a desktop, mobile's all messed up [2016-02-21 13:01:24] chromaticcr : Sam should introduce 200x button so whoever click that can get liq'd immediately [2016-02-21 13:01:45] chromaticcr : *Introducing a new method to close your position* [2016-02-21 13:04:36] BTCDJS : Jung1 is missing out on his cheap bitcoins [2016-02-21 13:10:52] mwalshe99 : anyone else getting an internal error when trying to submit an order? [2016-02-21 13:11:25] BTCDJS : this has got to be the lowest of the low today. It has to be. I bought it and I'm going out for sunday dinner lol [2016-02-21 13:13:55] BTCDJS : I'm getting evil eyes. peace out [2016-02-21 13:20:57] BTCDJS : sleger: if you can use your wealth to keep us above 428 that would be great [2016-02-21 13:21:41] sleger : I'd rather have everyone get margined first and rebuy even lower [2016-02-21 13:22:01] BTCDJS : sleger: i don't blame you [2016-02-21 13:23:55] sleger : I had started rebuying some over the past hour anyways [2016-02-21 13:24:34] jung1 : BTCDJS: no im not [2016-02-21 13:24:40] BTCDJS : you're not trying to infer that you are actually that wealthy are you? because i won't believe you [2016-02-21 13:24:47] jung1 : I just sold it too soon [2016-02-21 13:24:51] BTCDJS : jung1: yay! [2016-02-21 13:25:48] BTCDJS : jung1: come on then get them while their cheap [2016-02-21 13:26:24] jung1 : I buy all the time with 15-20% of my salary [2016-02-21 13:26:33] jung1 : No mather what price is [2016-02-21 13:27:36] BTCDJS : a true believer [2016-02-21 13:28:54] Tulip_stefan : i'm a true believer as well but buying more bitcoin is far to risky. If bitcoin goes to $10k i can already retire, it bitcoin goes to $0 i still have my other investments. Not worth buying more. [2016-02-21 13:29:48] BTCDJS : thats why I'm learning to trade. so i don't have to buy them anymore [2016-02-21 13:30:25] Tulip_stefan : you probably won't beat buy & hold over the long term. [2016-02-21 13:30:52] Tulip_stefan : statically speaking, most traders don't. [2016-02-21 13:31:03] Tulip_stefan : statisticly* [2016-02-21 13:31:38] sleger : *statistically [2016-02-21 13:31:40] elmorte : BTCDJS: Ok, that makes a lot more sense on a desktop. Have a good dinner [2016-02-21 13:31:45] BTCDJS : Tulip_stefan: i hold all bitcoins i get [2016-02-21 13:32:06] Tulip_stefan : ? [2016-02-21 13:32:43] elmorte : 5% of networth in BTC is reasonable I think [2016-02-21 13:32:56] elmorte : Then again, I'm not reasonable [2016-02-21 13:33:38] Tulip_stefan : i used to have more than half my net worth in BTC. [2016-02-21 13:34:02] BTCDJS : but you had to dip into it? [2016-02-21 13:34:44] Tulip_stefan : i never really brought bitcoin. I started with 0.1 LTC i had CPU mined and got the rest with trading bots. [2016-02-21 13:35:00] Tulip_stefan : about one year later i used a months wage to but a few more, but that's it. [2016-02-21 13:35:30] sleger : % of net worth really isnt the right measure, most people who make 20-40k (euros/gbp/usd) will have almost 0 net worth and let's say they have 3k then having 50% of it in btc isnt even unreasonable [2016-02-21 13:38:31] Tulip_stefan : 3k sounds like an awfully low amount of financial buffer. [2016-02-21 13:39:09] BTCDJS : Tulip_stefan: i have much much less than that [2016-02-21 13:39:22] sleger : You can probably check online but I saw an article where 50% of americans have less than that in reserve [2016-02-21 13:39:33] BTCDJS : and I'm doing quite alright [2016-02-21 13:39:38] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT24H`: Sell 2646 @ 434.11 [2016-02-21 13:39:38] REKT : Getting chopped to death is fun, everyone should try it! [2016-02-21 13:40:34] sleger : Tulip_stefan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_in_the_United_States#/media/File:MedianNetWorth2007.png [2016-02-21 13:40:44] Tulip_stefan : i only left school 2 years ago and i have significantly more than that. I wouldn't be comfortable with 2 months of buffer when i get fired for some reason. [2016-02-21 13:41:49] BTCDJS : Tulip_stefan: everything will alway work out [2016-02-21 13:41:54] BTCDJS : always [2016-02-21 13:42:13] sleger : yes nobody ends up on the streets right ? [2016-02-21 13:43:45] BTCDJS : i can't speak for people who live on the street or presume what kind of thinkers they are. but I will always be fine. [2016-02-21 13:44:01] BTCDJS : i come from a very poor family [2016-02-21 13:44:10] BTCDJS : i know how to have no money [2016-02-21 13:44:27] Tulip_stefan : You won't end up on the street easily in my country. [2016-02-21 13:44:29] sleger : just pointiing out it doesnt always work out. but yes some people dont really put the chance on their side [2016-02-21 13:44:41] sleger : Tulip_stefan: you didnt reply my latest email ? [2016-02-21 13:45:05] Tulip_stefan : not yet, i'm still debating with my business partner what to do. [2016-02-21 13:45:16] sleger : sounds good [2016-02-21 13:45:20] BTCDJS : sleger: fair enough. but i think people are where they want to be [2016-02-21 13:45:44] BTCDJS : even if they moan about it [2016-02-21 13:45:45] sleger : BTCDJS: I think the part of luck in one's success is bigger than I/most people imagined [2016-02-21 13:46:56] BTCDJS : some people a re lucky. and others make they're own luck [2016-02-21 13:47:00] BTCDJS : very [2016-02-21 13:52:28] BTCDJS : sleger: i re read what you said. And i see where you are coming from actually. [2016-02-21 13:52:53] BTCDJS : ok im out [2016-02-21 14:05:19] elmorte : sleger: If you're making 2-3k/month and have total savings of 3k, having half that in BTC is not reasonable, it's highly speculative [2016-02-21 14:06:08] sleger : elmorte: what if total savings is 300 and half is bitcoin is that any different ? [2016-02-21 14:07:58] sleger : what if its 30$ and half is bitcoin, do you still find it unreasonable ? [2016-02-21 14:08:23] elmorte : I get it, scale [2016-02-21 14:08:36] elmorte : I'm thinking about it [2016-02-21 14:10:18] elmorte : I didn't even think about bitcoin until a certain threshold was passed. There are safer ways of multiplying a $30 to me [2016-02-21 14:11:44] elmorte : And the concept of NW is subjective, and 5% is arbitrary but it's my risk guideline [2016-02-21 14:14:05] Tulip_stefan : that is uh.. very low risk. [2016-02-21 14:16:27] Tulip_stefan : i don't think it makes much sense to have more than 1x your yearly wage on bank. The expected profits in bitcoin/stocks are much higher than on the bank. [2016-02-21 14:16:56] Tulip_stefan : that's still arbitrary but less arbitrary than '5%'. [2016-02-21 14:19:35] elmorte : There are other alternatives to BTC than a savings account [2016-02-21 14:20:07] Tulip_stefan : that is why i said bitcoin/stocks.

[2016-02-21 14:43:55] elmorte : Best time was 2:45 ago [2016-02-21 14:44:37] mrp1nk : its abitrary unless ppl use it to short [2016-02-21 14:45:00] mrp1nk : or to sell [2016-02-21 14:45:01] rapidtrades : i did short at 449.70...but i mistakenly put 500 cont to close it...so I now hold 1.3 BTC extra at 448 lol [2016-02-21 14:45:02] BTCDJS : mrp1nk: that resistance was pointed out to me this morning but I thought it wasn't a problem. Guess I'm an optimist lol [2016-02-21 14:45:32] jung1 : Tulip_stefan: bitcoin was best perform currency in last year. I think that will be long term trend [2016-02-21 14:45:34] rapidtrades : it's a small addon to my long but frustrating when u make a mistake [2016-02-21 14:45:48] rapidtrades : trading is already hard as it is :) [2016-02-21 14:46:13] jung1 : You can always lend on polo [2016-02-21 14:46:33] jung1 : I basicly dobled my doge in 3 weeks basicly with no risk [2016-02-21 14:46:41] jung1 : Doubled [2016-02-21 14:46:46] elmorte : BTC lending rates are laughable though, no? @jung1 [2016-02-21 14:46:55] rapidtrades : prolly the new interface had smth to do with it, this hasn't happened to me since the first week I started here [2016-02-21 14:47:07] rapidtrades : confusing as f*ck [2016-02-21 14:47:16] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: lol [2016-02-21 14:47:33] BTCDJS : Will you pack it in already [2016-02-21 14:47:49] elmorte : rapidtrades: Daaamn.

BTC p.a. rate is around 0.5% on polo [2016-02-21 14:49:24] elmorte : Last I checked [2016-02-21 14:49:31] rapidtrades : seems rly low then [2016-02-21 14:49:37] jung1 : 2days [2016-02-21 14:49:52] jung1 : Yeah you can lrd btc, altcoins as wrll [2016-02-21 14:49:58] rapidtrades : oh so 2% per day? @jung1 [2016-02-21 14:50:28] jung1 : But for example on xrp there is o.oo7% [2016-02-21 14:50:35] jung1 : Per two days [2016-02-21 14:50:57] rapidtrades : why so high? has doge been moving or what [2016-02-21 14:51:56] rapidtrades : also where the f is the calculator now [2016-02-21 14:52:18] jung1 : Depends of number of lenders [2016-02-21 14:52:39] jung1 : Order controls [2016-02-21 14:52:49] jung1 : Right upper corner [2016-02-21 14:53:41] rapidtrades : jung1: tnx [2016-02-21 14:54:07] rapidtrades : guess I can put that in center.. [2016-02-21 14:56:50] jung1 : There could here bitmex futures and we will trade predictions of bitmex trade volume [2016-02-21 14:57:00] jung1 : #enron [2016-02-21 15:01:48] rapidtrades : is polo not on tradingview? [2016-02-21 15:02:15] jung1 : Dunno [2016-02-21 15:02:41] jung1 : But actually work better on tabtrader [2016-02-21 15:02:51] jung1 : Its laggy as fuck [2016-02-21 15:03:15] jung1 : And like 95% of eth volume are on pole [2016-02-21 15:03:22] jung1 : Rest on kraken [2016-02-21 15:04:05] rapidtrades : what's the code for bitmex eth contract on TW? [2016-02-21 15:04:39] habibi : not really jung1 http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#markets [2016-02-21 15:05:04] jung1 : Oh [2016-02-21 15:05:13] jung1 : So was during last pump [2016-02-21 15:05:36] jung1 : Still pretty impresive [2016-02-21 15:25:21] elmorte : There was DPE this session? [2016-02-21 15:29:20] BitMEX_Wally : elmorte: No. You can see the history here: https://www.bitmex.com/app/settlementHistory [2016-02-21 15:30:18] elmorte : BitMEX_Wally: Ok...what else would cause a market maker to pay commission? [2016-02-21 15:30:49] BitMEX_Wally : If a market maker aggresses into the order book [2016-02-21 15:30:56] elmorte : I mean current sesh, like now [2016-02-21 15:31:18] elmorte : How did I do that? :) [2016-02-21 15:31:38] BitMEX_Wally : A market maker can send `execInst: "ParticipateDoNotInitiate"` to avoid paying taker fees [2016-02-21 15:31:51] BitMEX_Wally : It will cancel the order if it will execute aggressively [2016-02-21 15:31:59] sleger : good to know, wasnt aware [2016-02-21 15:32:22] elmorte : But I didn't cross the spread... [2016-02-21 15:32:42] Tulip_stefan : you don't have to cross the spread to get a taker order. [2016-02-21 15:33:12] elmorte : In what scenario? That's all I'm trying to find out... [2016-02-21 15:33:47] BitMEX_Wally : elmorte: Hidden orders always pay the taker fee [2016-02-21 15:33:56] elmorte : Ohhh [2016-02-21 15:34:05] elmorte : Noted, thanks Wally [2016-02-21 15:34:08] BitMEX_Wally : :) [2016-02-21 15:34:15] Tulip_stefan : market makers are predictable, some of them look at the orderbook when deciding at what level to place orders. A well-placed order can cause a market maker to move their order. When the happens the agent quickly places an order at the market-maker expected price. [2016-02-21 15:34:34] Tulip_stefan : thereby forcing the market maker to incur the taker fee. [2016-02-21 15:35:08] BitMEX_Wally : Tulip_stefan: Which is why we support `ParticipateDoNotInitiate` :) [2016-02-21 15:35:23] elmorte : Tulip_stefan: Thanks, got that. But my order executed some time after placement and in chunks [2016-02-21 15:35:48] elmorte : Wally, so post only + hidden will do what then with regards to rebate? [2016-02-21 15:36:02] sleger : you pay fee [2016-02-21 15:36:08] sleger : always if its hidden, and thats normal [2016-02-21 15:36:21] elmorte : Ok, so post + hidden == hidden [2016-02-21 15:36:27] sleger : hidden=pay fee [2016-02-21 15:36:45] elmorte : post = don't pay fee [2016-02-21 15:38:09] tscha : Either you pay the fee or it won't execute at all, not sure... but not paying fee doesn't make any sense [2016-02-21 15:38:24] elmorte : Tulip_stefan: filled is probably the right word , not executed [2016-02-21 15:41:59] elmorte : tscha: yeah, it doesn't sound fair towards the eventual taker that they get charged [2016-02-21 15:42:46] tscha : if he posts a hidden order, of course it is fair [2016-02-21 15:42:50] BitMEX_Wally : Just to confirm. if you send post-only and hidden you will pay the taker fee [2016-02-21 15:43:16] BitMEX_Wally : But only if someone executes against you [2016-02-21 15:43:38] BitMEX_Wally : i.e. if you submit a hidden post-only order that would immediately execute it will be canceled [2016-02-21 15:43:53] BitMEX_Wally : Once the hidden order is resting in the book, you will pay the taker fee once it executes [2016-02-21 15:45:40] BitMEX_Wally : The person who executes against a hidden order will be paid the maker fee [2016-02-21 15:46:48] elmorte : Ok. So if a hidden short hits an existing hidden long: 1) if short is post, order is cancelled. 2) Otherwise short gets maker fee? [2016-02-21 15:48:07] BitMEX_Wally : Correct [2016-02-21 15:48:21] tscha : By the way, what about taker fees with iceberg orders? Do iceberg orders still pay taker for the whole amount or only for the hidden part? [2016-02-21 15:48:25] elmorte : Cheers :) [2016-02-21 15:49:02] BitMEX_Wally : tscha: Once the hidden quantity has been executed and there is only visible quantity left it behaves like a normal order. it gets the maker rebate [2016-02-21 15:49:28] tscha : wow, very sweet, you actually changed that right? very cool [2016-02-21 15:49:59] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, because you or someone said that otherwise there was a perverse incentive to cancel and resubmit [2016-02-21 15:50:05] tscha : yes [2016-02-21 15:53:24] Tulip_stefan : BitMEX_Wally: when querying instruments or indices, i get a RemoteHostClosesError about 1 every 15 requests. Is that a known issue? [2016-02-21 15:54:00] BitMEX_Wally : Tulip_stefan: Could you email logs to support@bitmex.com [2016-02-21 15:54:30] Tulip_stefan : logs ehh. What kind of logs are you looking for? Should i run wireshark in the background? [2016-02-21 15:55:04] tscha : rofl [2016-02-21 15:55:46] BitMEX_Wally : How are you calling the API? [2016-02-21 15:55:56] BitMEX_Wally : Which endpoint? [2016-02-21 15:56:07] tscha : aircrack-ng [2016-02-21 15:56:51] BitMEX_Wally : RemoteHostClosesError... do you mean RemoteHostClosedError? [2016-02-21 15:56:51] Tulip_stefan : https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1/instrument?filter=%7B%22state%22%3A%22Open%22%7D&count=100&start=0&reverse=false [2016-02-21 15:57:01] Tulip_stefan : closeD yeah. [2016-02-21 15:57:29] BitMEX_Wally : I'll try calling that endpoint repeatedly see if anything happens [2016-02-21 15:57:48] BitMEX_Wally : If you can email logs with timestamps I can investigate on our end [2016-02-21 15:58:06] BitMEX_Wally : IP address you are calling from would be useful too [2016-02-21 15:58:14] Tulip_stefan : i think that's the url that fails. I have 2 of those but i'm not positive which it is exactly. I'll add some extra logging in my application to find out. [2016-02-21 15:58:20] BitMEX_Wally : Thanks [2016-02-21 15:58:29] Tulip_stefan : yeah, i'll mail you in a few minutes. [2016-02-21 16:00:13] BitMEX_Wally : I added support for `execInst: "AllOrNone"` to testnet today. Only allowed for hidden orders of course [2016-02-21 16:00:33] rapidtrades : going up boys! [2016-02-21 16:00:44] rapidtrades : calling the bottom [2016-02-21 16:00:54] rapidtrades : *maybe, not a trade recommendation [2016-02-21 16:06:39] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBT24H`: Buy 954 @ 434.79 [2016-02-21 16:07:44] Tulip_stefan : BitMEX_Wally: i found a clue. For some reason i can lo longer reproduce it when i spam the api every 1.5 seconds. My timeout is normally set to 30 seconds, which is the same as the http keepalive. Maybe that's the problem. [2016-02-21 16:08:40] BitMEX_Wally : You could just subscribe to `instrument` over the websocket. Then you do not need to poll the API [2016-02-21 16:08:49] BitMEX_Wally : Don't call us, we'll call you [2016-02-21 16:09:16] Tulip_stefan : mhh yeah that's a good point. [2016-02-21 16:11:02] BitMEX_Wally : :) [2016-02-21 16:15:10] BTCDJS : 440 [2016-02-21 16:16:29] BTCDJS : Or chop suey [2016-02-21 16:18:49] BTCDJS : I need to get back in front of the computer. I think I'm addicted lol [2016-02-21 16:24:49] jung1 : Yeah bitcoin is addict [2016-02-21 16:24:52] elmorte : It does get under your skin [2016-02-21 16:25:47] jung1 : mETH [2016-02-21 16:25:51] jung1 : Also [2016-02-21 16:28:11] elmorte : I better shut the comp off before I waste another Monday. Gnite all :) [2016-02-21 16:28:25] jung1 : See ya [2016-02-21 16:28:40] jung1 : Btw uninstall btc apps from your phone then [2016-02-21 16:28:52] jung1 : BTCfx is awesome app [2016-02-21 16:28:59] jung1 : Really like it [2016-02-21 16:32:29] BTCDJS : ok I'm back on [2016-02-21 16:32:35] BTCDJS : here we go [2016-02-21 16:39:24] BTCDJS : jung1: everyone here is addicted lol i know because everyone is always here when i am [2016-02-21 16:44:12] mrp1nk : ;-) [2016-02-21 16:46:09] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBT24H`: Buy 300 @ 437.34 [2016-02-21 16:46:29] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBT24H`: Buy 1 @ 438.18 :punch: :whale: [2016-02-21 16:52:17] BTCDJS : i love it when a plan comes together [2016-02-21 16:53:15] BTCDJS : BitMEX_Wally: why are there hidden orders? [2016-02-21 16:54:27] BitMEX_Wally : BTCDJS: For people who do not want to show their full hand [2016-02-21 16:54:57] BTCDJS : is the white text in the recent trades hidden orders? how can i set hidden orders? [2016-02-21 16:56:04] BitMEX_Wally : White text is just a trade at the same price as the previous one [2016-02-21 16:56:33] BitMEX_Wally : You can submit a hidden order by expanding the `Advanced Order Options` [2016-02-21 16:56:54] BitMEX_Wally : Then you can tick `Hidden Order` [2016-02-21 16:57:07] BTCDJS : what is a post only order?

[2016-02-21 17:52:41] BitMEX_Sam : re: deposits taking a long time you definitely want to attach a 0.0005 fee to be sure [2016-02-21 17:52:44] habibi : yea i will tell my kids about great btc derivatives site that was somewhere there back in time :) [2016-02-21 17:52:44] rapidtrades : then I woke up and proceeded to enter the wrong amount of contracts [2016-02-21 17:52:49] BitMEX_Sam : Anything less than that I've seen get delayed [2016-02-21 17:53:13] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Sam: that;s a 22 cent fee [2016-02-21 17:53:37] rapidtrades : 22 WHOLE CENTS [2016-02-21 17:53:43] BitMEX_Sam : Yes, it is [2016-02-21 17:53:51] BitMEX_Sam : That's why there's so much scaling drama [2016-02-21 17:53:58] BTCDJS : yeah and it will be a hell of a lot more if bitcoin goes moon [2016-02-21 17:54:10] rapidtrades : BTCDJS: no?

[2016-02-21 17:55:38] rapidtrades : price goes up, more miners jump in, lower fees [2016-02-21 17:55:59] j8 : not how it works [2016-02-21 17:56:01] habibi : its not about miners [2016-02-21 17:56:07] BTCDJS : thats why halving is important? price has to go up [2016-02-21 17:56:08] habibi : but about tx limit in block [2016-02-21 17:56:52] BTCDJS : habibi: please explain more. because i don't get it [2016-02-21 17:57:49] habibi : back in 90's u have 1 gb hard drive, u wanna copy more mp3 from ur friend's drive but u dont have free space [2016-02-21 17:58:14] rapidtrades : NOONE CARES [2016-02-21 17:58:15] habibi : booom, u buying next drive and copy mp3 to next drive [2016-02-21 17:58:21] rapidtrades : plz don't explain [2016-02-21 17:58:33] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: i want to know [2016-02-21 17:58:34] habibi : but artists make's new mp3 faster than u buying new disks [2016-02-21 17:58:47] rapidtrades : if I hear the words core or classic one more time, I will blow a lid [2016-02-21 17:58:57] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: close the box [2016-02-21 17:59:35] rapidtrades : fine i'll come back in 30 mins.. [2016-02-21 18:00:00] habibi : anywhere its stupid comparision maybe :D u have blockchain, blocks where tx are storred, and 1 mb blocks each so far, 1 mb is able to handle about 4 tx per second for bitcoin network which is extremaly low even for current use coz we are sending more [2016-02-21 18:00:33] Tulip_stefan : we are, obviously, sending less. [2016-02-21 18:00:38] habibi : they need other to find some way to store more transactions in same 1 mb, or increase blocksize [2016-02-21 18:01:35] j8 : we send less on average or there would be a backlog, but it's bursty [2016-02-21 18:01:46] BTCDJS : ok then why are the miners taking higher fees for faster transaction [2016-02-21 18:02:07] habibi : they can choose which tx they wanna include in block [2016-02-21 18:02:15] BTCDJS : ah [2016-02-21 18:02:17] habibi : if they include ones with higher fees they will get more [2016-02-21 18:02:23] BTCDJS : i see [2016-02-21 18:02:23] habibi : btc* [2016-02-21 18:02:36] BTCDJS : i get it thanks [2016-02-21 18:02:39] BitMEX_Sam : http://hackingdistributed.com/2015/10/14/bitcoin-ng/ is an interesting solution to the problem [2016-02-21 18:03:47] habibi : agree, new generation is the best solution imho not even for scalling solution but for whole ideas. [2016-02-21 18:04:02] habibi : bitcoin needs changes,adjusting, hardforks. [2016-02-21 18:04:11] BTCDJS : BitMEX_Sam: is bitcoin NG another fork [2016-02-21 18:05:14] habibi : conservatism is good in same cases but not here as its new technology that can be overtaken if bitcoin stop develop futher [2016-02-21 18:06:53] BTCDJS : but its all sorted now right?

[2016-02-21 19:05:01] Tulip_stefan : i like to split up my accounts so i can run multiple with different settings, but fee tiers make that less rewarding.

I'm a moderately sized player, but i think it would be unfair if i had access to better fee schedules or better network than the other players, and vice-versa.
