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.

You have access to more than 50 million trollbox posts. This is more than 7 gigabyte of data hosted on a $5 server so please be patient or consider a donation

[2016-03-23 13:13:58] Diva : Hi, anybody can tell me how to access historical data?
[2016-03-23 13:18:34] BitMEX_Wally : Diva: Sure, what kind of data do you want?
[2016-03-23 13:19:59] BitMEX_Wally : You can view your trade history here: https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory
[2016-03-23 13:20:26] BitMEX_Wally : Settlement history here: https://www.bitmex.com/app/settlementHistory
[2016-03-23 13:21:02] Diva : Hi Wally!
[2016-03-23 13:21:13] Diva : Thanx for the response!
[2016-03-23 13:21:39] BitMEX_Wally : You can get historical market data from the API: https://www.bitmex.com/api/explorer/
[2016-03-23 13:21:42] Diva : I am looking for a way to retrieve settlement history, but not limited to 100.
[2016-03-23 13:22:19] BitMEX_Wally : You can query the settlement table via the API
[2016-03-23 13:22:35] BitMEX_Wally : Or if you just want the index prices you can query them from the trade table
[2016-03-23 13:23:23] BitMEX_Wally : For example, to get the daily `.XBT2H` price: https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1/trade?symbol=.XBT2H&columns=price&count=500&start=0&reverse=false
[2016-03-23 13:23:50] BitMEX_Wally : The maximum count is `500` but you can increment `start`
[2016-03-23 13:24:38] Diva : Cool.
[2016-03-23 13:24:51] Diva : Very nice platform!

[2016-03-23 13:26:54] Diva : Thats exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
[2016-03-23 13:28:46] BitMEX_Wally : Diva: Cool, let us know if you have any questions, we're happy to help
[2016-03-23 13:29:20] Diva : Alright. Cheers.
[2016-03-23 13:44:37] BitMEX_Sam : splash: Thanks for the concern, a few things that mitigate this:
[2016-03-23 13:44:58] BitMEX_Sam : 1. If an author abandons a package, and a new author takes it up, that new author is still not able to republish at the exact versions that had been previously published, and
[2016-03-23 13:45:16] BitMEX_Sam : 2. We run our own immutable mirror, so unpublishing from that is not possible
[2016-03-23 13:50:42] okaycn : Liquidated long on XBT24H: Sell 30000 @ 416.59 MEGA-REKT ? 这句话是什么意思？
[2016-03-23 14:09:35] BitMEX_Wally : okaycn: 爆仓
[2016-03-23 14:16:48] okaycn : 这个点行情没有什么大的波动，为什么会产生这么多爆仓单呢？ 不理解
[2016-03-23 14:20:38] okaycn : 我英文不好，这个爆仓的具体逻辑，还不是很清楚
[2016-03-23 14:38:07] BitMEX_Arthur : 你好如果问题，可以送我开门email
[2016-03-23 14:38:51] BitMEX_Arthur : 我们的中国服务儿帮你
[2016-03-23 14:47:01] splash : BitMEX_Sam: sure no thing - my own money is on the line too :-) . smart thing to have an immutable mirror. what I'm personally most worried about is not my own package.json (in my own project) but the one the third party libs are using. i guess i misplaced tilde there could introduce some weaknesses. good lord if it happened to babel (that was actually impacted by leftpad) or something like that
[2016-03-23 15:00:55] BitMEX_Sam : splash: Yeah, my thought is to work on moving to ied and develop a shrinkwrap mechanism that checks hashes
[2016-03-23 15:06:24] BitMEX_Sam : https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx is also very interesting

[2016-03-23 15:17:33] BitMEX_Sam : Somebody got busy
[2016-03-23 15:20:04] j8 : earlier someone bought up to 428 twice
[2016-03-23 15:20:29] j8 : maybe they didn't realize there's only 2 days left on `XBTH16`

[2016-03-23 16:29:06] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah - it's quite nice
[2016-03-23 16:29:33] BitMEX_Sam : Generally usable today but will be much better when it has better npm compatibility and shrinkwrap support
[2016-03-23 16:45:34] splash : wow. the LISK thing.. wow just wow
[2016-03-23 16:48:08] splash : would love to be able to short it once it starts trading
[2016-03-23 16:48:37] splash : actually i feel the same way about many of these "bitcoin 2.0" / ethereum dao/dapps
[2016-03-23 16:49:50] BitMEX_Sam : Agreed - I'm bullish on the idea in general but the application has not yet arrived
[2016-03-23 16:50:04] BitMEX_Sam : And many of these coins are cash grabs, not real engineering projects
[2016-03-23 17:15:32] blackbird7x : Hey guys new to BitMEX. Im a futures traders. Do you provide tick charts and how much is 1 tick in the XBT contract?
[2016-03-23 17:19:11] sleger : 1 tick is 0.01
[2016-03-23 17:50:47] splash : BitMEX_Sam: indeed. i wonder what the churn is... I'm mean how many n00bs have been sucked into the crypto sphere, bought into scams and been spit out the other side and now neither have any more monies to spend on bitcoins or even have faith in it any longer
[2016-03-23 17:51:01] splash : would be better if everyone who heard of bitcoin wasn't screwed
[2016-03-23 17:51:14] splash : personally I've "only" been scammed once.
[2016-03-23 17:55:17] tscha : splash: how?
[2016-03-23 18:15:10] splash : it was some stupid scam years ago. don't even remember the details any longer

[2016-03-23 18:17:40] BitMEX_Sam : There's no autocorrect in the chat box

[2016-03-23 18:18:47] BitMEX_Sam : No worries
[2016-03-23 18:19:37] splash : I've started reading up on web sec and learned more about xsrf and stuff which made me start using another browser when login exchanges.

[2016-03-23 18:24:42] rentchev : The XBT spot price is based on which exchange?
[2016-03-23 18:30:52] Teddy76 : rentchev: https://tradeblock.com/markets/index/
[2016-03-23 18:30:57] BitMEX_Greg : rentchev: It is based off the current Tradeblock Index
[2016-03-23 18:31:51] BitMEX_Greg : https://www.bitmex.com/app/index/.XBT shows the last 1 minute snaps of the index
[2016-03-23 18:37:09] rentchev : thanks both
[2016-03-23 18:59:32] rapidtrades : rentchev: u should thank me too, I taught them everything they know
[2016-03-23 19:06:32] rentchev : :-)
[2016-03-23 19:06:39] rentchev : thank you rapidtrades
[2016-03-23 19:07:29] rapidtrades : :
[2016-03-23 19:07:32] rapidtrades : :)
[2016-03-23 19:26:21] dmbtmxdm : @BitMEX_Greg are you there?
[2016-03-23 19:32:46] BitMEX_Wally : dmbtmxdm: Can I help?
[2016-03-23 19:33:44] dmbtmxdm : How does the cost for contracts work. Let's say the bitcoin position is 100 XBT, this would be 24000 contracts. So the cost is 50.1715 XBT for those 24000 contracts
[2016-03-23 19:35:17] BitMEX_Wally : It depends on your leverage
[2016-03-23 19:36:07] BitMEX_Wally : If you are on 100x leverage then the cost for an order value of 100 Bitcoin is 1 Bitcoin
[2016-03-23 19:37:05] BitMEX_Wally : So in your example it looks like you have leverage set to 2x
[2016-03-23 19:38:49] dmbtmxdm : Didn't realize I had it set to 2x. So let's say it's at 100x. I see the cost as 1.1362xbt, this means that 0.1362 goes to bitmex?
[2016-03-23 19:40:42] BitMEX_Wally : That "cost" is just the amount of margin that is required to available
[2016-03-23 19:41:16] BitMEX_Wally : The 0.1362 is a buffer which covers entry and exit commission, plus a bit of execution slippage
[2016-03-23 19:41:30] dmbtmxdm : I see, thank you
[2016-03-23 19:41:30] dmbtmxdm : where can I find how much commission I pay to bitmex?
[2016-03-23 19:41:43] BitMEX_Wally : https://www.bitmex.com/app/fees
[2016-03-23 19:42:02] BitMEX_Wally : And see `Comm.` column on your trade history: https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradeHistory
[2016-03-23 20:00:14] rentchev : place my first trade
[2016-03-23 20:00:17] dmbtmxdm : thank you very much Wally
[2016-03-23 20:00:25] rentchev : placed
[2016-03-23 20:01:35] BitMEX_Sam : :) Glad to have you both on board
[2016-03-23 20:02:09] rentchev : thanks BitMEX_Sam
[2016-03-23 20:46:39] splash : anyone knows if Tradeblock Index is available on trading view?
[2016-03-23 20:47:23] splash : (not the trading view widget, but the real site)
[2016-03-23 20:50:51] rentchev : splash when you type BTC in the input field you can see all currency pairs and exchanges available for BTC
[2016-03-23 20:54:34] splash : thanks
[2016-03-23 20:54:46] splash : i dont c a tradeblock so i guess its not there
[2016-03-23 20:55:26] rentchev : yes, I didn't see it as well
[2016-03-23 20:55:42] BitMEX_Sam : It's not there, unfortunately
[2016-03-23 20:55:47] BitMEX_Sam : We automatically overlay the index on the chart, however
[2016-03-23 20:55:58] BitMEX_Sam : It's also available officially at https://tradeblock.com/markets/index/
[2016-03-23 20:56:28] splash : its great that youre overlaying it.
[2016-03-23 20:57:19] splash : how many of u r trading with a plan?
[2016-03-23 20:58:09] rentchev : If I have a long position and want to place a sell order in advance if the price reach certain level. Do I place a Close Limit sell order or a Limit Sell order?
[2016-03-23 20:58:32] habibi : limit order
[2016-03-23 20:58:51] rentchev : what is the close limit order?
[2016-03-23 20:59:43] splash : rentchev, u can do different things
[2016-03-23 21:00:27] splash : rentchev: either close or a limit in the other direction
[2016-03-23 21:00:54] splash : close market if ur ok with some slippage if im not misstaken
[2016-03-23 21:01:49] splash : with limit u cant be sure to get completely filled but probably u will
[2016-03-23 21:01:52] rentchev : for close market I don't see how I can specify the price I want to sell at
[2016-03-23 21:02:23] splash : yes that is tre
[2016-03-23 21:02:24] splash : true
[2016-03-23 21:02:26] rentchev : I want to place my order in advance
[2016-03-23 21:02:26] BitMEX_Sam : You don't, it's a market close
[2016-03-23 21:02:33] rentchev : Kraken has all these order types
[2016-03-23 21:02:45] BitMEX_Sam : Close Limit is an IOC order provided as a convenience
[2016-03-23 21:02:59] BitMEX_Sam : It autofills the quantity, you just put in the price, and if it fails to hit the market it automatically cancels
[2016-03-23 21:03:13] rentchev : for Kraken I can place a market sell if the price reaches 425 for example
[2016-03-23 21:03:16] BitMEX_Sam : A lot of users have expressed confusion with this, so we will likely adjust it in the near future to be optionally IOC and default IOC off
[2016-03-23 21:03:19] BitMEX_Sam : rentchev: You can do that here
[2016-03-23 21:03:23] BitMEX_Sam : Use a Stop Market
[2016-03-23 21:03:38] rentchev : oh I see
[2016-03-23 21:03:58] rentchev : I have a stop market alread as my stop
[2016-03-23 21:04:18] rentchev : you are saying I can add anohter stop market for my target sell price?
[2016-03-23 21:04:42] BitMEX_Sam : Yes, you could use another stop as a take profit
[2016-03-23 21:04:54] rentchev : thanks BitMEX_Sam
[2016-03-23 21:05:01] BitMEX_Sam : In the near future we'll allow linking the two so that if one triggers, the other will cancel
[2016-03-23 21:05:14] BitMEX_Sam : You can already do it via the API, just haven't written the UI components yet for it
[2016-03-23 21:05:39] rentchev : great
[2016-03-23 21:24:11] splash : i bet that btc will go down at least 10% before breaking out of the consolidation its in and move to make higher highs

[2016-03-23 21:25:38] rapidtrades : i fecking hate eth man
[2016-03-23 21:25:48] rapidtrades : what a jewcoin
[2016-03-23 21:25:59] splash : why do u have feelings about the coins?
[2016-03-23 21:27:46] splash : i seriously doubt eth is going to work, i can agree with that
[2016-03-23 21:28:47] splash : there consensus mechanism will centralize the verification and i bet it will turn into some kind of federated signing thing
[2016-03-23 21:29:52] splash : also with all of these contracts running, the blockchain is growing to grow so large that a federated network will be much appropriate.
[2016-03-23 21:30:50] splash : then there will be these lightweight wallets... and when people scream about it being "bad" and "unfair" , vitalik will say "this was never a coin anyway"

[2016-03-24 06:40:18] splash : stevelim: the head n shoulders we've got right now on the latest wave, i think will also fail. if it does, and price moves higher, we will get the third wave higher from the consolidation way back
[2016-03-24 06:40:30] splash : 0.003 was the peak of the second wave
[2016-03-24 06:41:19] splash : the next wave will probably be even more bullish then the last, because now everyone who was suckered in will feel super safe. price is then very likely to move to at least 0.05 but i think it could go even higher, like 0.06
[2016-03-24 06:42:07] splash : stevelim: i wouldnt be too surprised to see btcusd go down in the mean time, and all who have fallen in love with eth will think btc have failed
[2016-03-24 06:42:20] splash : i very much suspect things to reverse after that

[2016-03-24 12:39:31] splash : jung1: i took a look at list but i dont get it. what is it supposed to do for javascript devs?
[2016-03-24 12:43:55] jung1 : js is official code language fo lisk
[2016-03-24 12:44:27] splash : jung1: im reading the whitepaper. is sounds less technical and more like a sales-pitch,

[2016-03-24 12:47:43] splash : im reading more of the whitepaper
[2016-03-24 12:48:19] splash : is sounds like they have a platform where you launch apps from a lisk app. thats basically a totally new OS
[2016-03-24 12:48:21] habibi : Nice idea is separate blockchains for each dapp
[2016-03-24 12:48:46] habibi : But Soldity is kinda Java script based on

[2016-03-24 12:50:34] splash : the javascript community is very much centered around: platform agnostic, free
[2016-03-24 12:50:42] splash : lisk sounds like the opposite
[2016-03-24 12:51:16] splash : also... from what it sounds like end-users will have to download LISK before they can download the dapps running ontop of Lisk,
[2016-03-24 12:52:59] splash : several things about Lisk makes no sense
[2016-03-24 12:53:08] splash : in the whitepaper is says: "Regular users can launch the dapps on a Linux Lisk client or via the Lisk Lite client on Windows or Mac OS"
[2016-03-24 12:53:24] splash : but if its javascript it should run everywhere right?!
[2016-03-24 12:54:16] splash : oh man, im gonna love shorting this one into fractions of satoshis. this thing is going to make shorters unbelievable rich

[2016-03-24 12:57:18] splash : i could very well see price going to unbelievable heights before it crashes so i do think there is an opportunity to make money. but this one project is going to fail horrible in the end - if its not a outright scam from the beginning

[2016-03-25 03:49:14] rentchev : If I buy 1000 contracts an bitcoin goes up 1, HOW MUCH DO i make?
[2016-03-25 03:50:56] rentchev : the leverage doesn't seem to help me buy more contracts with my balance. How does it help?
[2016-03-25 03:51:10] BitMEX_Wally : rentchev: There is a profit calculator, click on the cog icon in the order side bar
[2016-03-25 03:51:43] BitMEX_Wally : If you buy 1000 contracts and they go up $1 then you make 0.01 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 03:53:41] rentchev : Thanks Wally
[2016-03-25 03:53:58] BitMEX_Wally : 1000 contracts is worth 4.17 Bitcoin, if you use leverage then you do not need a balance of 4.17 to open a position. With cross or 100x you only need 0.0485 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 03:54:11] rentchev : So tge point here is that my bitcoin increase without the need to concert to fiat
[2016-03-25 03:54:27] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, all our contracts are settled in Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 03:54:32] rentchev : In case bitcoin takes off I always have bitcoins
[2016-03-25 03:55:10] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, if you go long an XBT future here, and bitcoin goes up 10% then your profit is 10%
[2016-03-25 03:55:25] BitMEX_Wally : But also those bitcoins are worth more, so that 10% is like 11% in dollars
[2016-03-25 03:56:07] rentchev : So leverage is only to decide when is my position going to be liquidated in case tge trade goes against me?
[2016-03-25 03:57:24] BitMEX_Wally : Yes
[2016-03-25 03:57:32] rentchev : Is tge safest to use Cross?
[2016-03-25 03:57:47] BitMEX_Wally : rentchev: Yes, use Cross margin to keep the liquidation price as far away as possible
[2016-03-25 03:58:38] rentchev : Thanks for your help Wally
[2016-03-25 03:58:50] BitMEX_Wally : No problem, let us know if you have any further questions, we're happy to help
[2016-03-25 04:00:26] ethexio : Careful of cross though, could wake up and entire account drained if you didn't have SL in place or weren't paying attention.
[2016-03-25 04:01:12] ethexio : And price goes bonkers
[2016-03-25 04:02:11] rentchev : I add a stp loss order for every trade
[2016-03-25 04:03:02] rentchev : Not worth trading without a SL ?
[2016-03-25 04:05:50] ethexio : Unless you like having fun :)
[2016-03-25 04:07:11] ethexio : Wind at my back, full margin all-in, no stop loss, going to have a drink and take short nap...
[2016-03-25 04:11:01] rentchev : Lol
[2016-03-25 04:11:08] rentchev : Good luck
[2016-03-25 04:14:29] ethexio : I don't need luck, luck wishes for me.
[2016-03-25 04:20:13] nip : in eth?
[2016-03-25 04:54:37] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETH7D`: Sell 191 @ 0.02552
[2016-03-25 04:54:37] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETH7D`: Sell 250 @ 0.02553
[2016-03-25 06:03:13] micmix : I don't understand why no one wants to buy ETH anymore. It's like people don't know it's going to $100. Wall street money's coming any day now!
[2016-03-25 06:11:47] nip : im still buying it
[2016-03-25 06:17:22] rentchev : @micmux you don't think there should be corrections?
[2016-03-25 06:17:59] rentchev : ETH was 0.002 don't forget
[2016-03-25 06:18:24] nip : yeah thats where i bought it
[2016-03-25 06:18:39] nip : but i make more fiats than i need so i buy more
[2016-03-25 06:18:57] rentchev : Good for you
[2016-03-25 06:33:16] micmix : rentchev: that was sarcasm, I'm still waiting for wall street money that supposed to pump bitcoin to $10,000
[2016-03-25 06:34:23] rentchev : din't get the sarcasm ☺
[2016-03-25 07:19:52] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBT24H`: Buy 1126 @ 415.44
[2016-03-25 07:35:58] mpkomara : nip: COME ABOARD THE SS ARBITRAGE HONK HONK
[2016-03-25 07:36:23] nip : you long too?
[2016-03-25 07:36:43] mpkomara : WHO ISNT?
[2016-03-25 07:36:59] nip : good to hear
[2016-03-25 09:17:59] gaoMex : Need help... If I buy 2000 XBT24H contract at $100, and later on I sell 2000 XBT24H contract at $200, my profit is 2000 * ($200-$100) = $2000. Am I correct?
[2016-03-25 09:19:19] BitMEX_Wally : gaoMex: No
[2016-03-25 09:19:47] BitMEX_Wally : gaoMex: Your profit is 2 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 09:20:11] gaoMex : erm... care to elaborate on the formula?
[2016-03-25 09:20:13] BitMEX_Wally : Have a look at the contract size: https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/XBT24H
[2016-03-25 09:20:20] BitMEX_Wally : It pays out 0.00001 XBT per 1 USD
[2016-03-25 09:20:37] BitMEX_Wally : So: 2000 * ($200-$100) * 0.00001 = 2 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 09:21:00] BitMEX_Wally : 2000 x ($200-$100) x 0.00001 = 2 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 09:21:42] gaoMex : I see, Wally.
[2016-03-25 09:21:51] gaoMex : Thanks for the clarification.
[2016-03-25 09:22:10] BitMEX_Wally : There is a profit calculator, click the cog icon next to the order control
[2016-03-25 09:23:04] gaoMex : Will check it out... If I'm still lost, hope I can ask more questions
[2016-03-25 09:23:30] BitMEX_Wally : gaoMex: Sure, there are lots of guides on the sote
[2016-03-25 09:23:41] BitMEX_Wally : https://www.bitmex.com/app/seriesGuide/XBT
[2016-03-25 09:24:01] BitMEX_Wally : https://www.bitmex.com/app/futuresContractFormulas
[2016-03-25 09:24:24] BitMEX_Wally : Let us know if you have any questions
[2016-03-25 09:26:25] micmix : gaoMex: some of those guides can be a bit intimidating at first glance but it's not that difficult. just buy high and sell even higher ;-)
[2016-03-25 09:26:33] gaoMex : Maybe let me know the formula for the fees?
[2016-03-25 09:26:47] BitMEX_Wally : Fees are just a percentage
[2016-03-25 09:26:53] gaoMex : for single transaction
[2016-03-25 09:26:57] BitMEX_Wally : https://www.bitmex.com/app/fees
[2016-03-25 09:27:45] gaoMex : same example, buy 2000 XBT at $200
[2016-03-25 09:27:57] gaoMex : taker fee
[2016-03-25 09:28:18] BitMEX_Wally : So 2000 contracts at $200 is a gross value of 4 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 09:28:40] BitMEX_Wally : So 0.075% of 4 Bitcoin is 0.003 Bitcoin
[2016-03-25 09:29:29] BitMEX_Wally : `2000 x 200 x 0.00001 x 0.00075`
[2016-03-25 09:29:38] gaoMex : ah... very clear!
[2016-03-25 09:29:47] gaoMex : thank you! helps a lot!
[2016-03-25 09:30:10] micmix : you see, you can make 2 bitcoin and pay only 0.003 in fees!
[2016-03-25 09:30:55] gaoMex : micmix: haha... only when the conditions are right... which i don't know when it will happen
[2016-03-25 09:35:13] micmix : gaoMex: you just have to wait until bitcoin drops to $100, buy 2000 XBT24H contracts, then it goes to $200 on the same day and you made your 2 coins :-)
[2016-03-25 09:36:41] gaoMex : micmix: yes, i understand... just that I don't know when that will happen :)
[2016-03-25 11:00:25] splash : in the faq about fees it says bitmex have no fee for market makers of litecoin
[2016-03-25 11:00:35] splash : litecoin?!
[2016-03-25 11:00:41] collin : litecoin was removed
[2016-03-25 11:01:29] BitMEX_Arthur : XLT7D was delisted
[2016-03-25 11:01:32] BitMEX_Arthur : For the time being

[2016-03-25 11:05:46] habibi : splash tldr; & translation?
[2016-03-25 11:05:58] habibi : ah nvm :)
[2016-03-25 11:06:15] splash : what do u think?
[2016-03-25 11:06:53] habibi : korean biggest exchange adding eth?
[2016-03-25 11:07:19] splash : is it legit and does it matter?
[2016-03-25 11:08:52] habibi : after finex and coinbase added eth, only way to get some attention is getting added to major chinese ones
