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.

It will just be called by the currency code e.g. ETHXBT [2016-04-26 03:52:10] BTCVIX : seeing that you are overhauling probably time to just get rid of the non-used XBT and go to what we all use in BTC [2016-04-26 03:52:35] BTCVIX : I mean does ETH have an official designator of ETH ? [2016-04-26 03:53:08] BitMEX_Wally : We use XBT as the margin currency and that's why we use the official ISO 4217 currency code XBT [2016-04-26 03:54:16] BitMEX_Wally : BTC vs XBT is like RMB vs CNY [2016-04-26 03:54:24] BTCVIX : BitMEX_Wally: well I am just saying it isn't getting much traction globally -- after all we have GBTC -- it isn't GXBT -- kind think if Siebert thought it was a good idea he would have went with the currency code designator [2016-04-26 03:55:37] BitMEX_Wally : Kraken use XBT [2016-04-26 03:55:47] BitMEX_Wally : So does Bloomberg, etc. [2016-04-26 03:56:06] BitMEX_Wally : The problem is that BTC will never be an official code as BT* is assigned to the Kingdom of Bhutan [2016-04-26 03:57:16] BTCVIX : BitMEX_Wally: Bloomberg is a good point but Kraken was kind of the red headed step child -- they have very little volume so compare to the industry standard that is OKC, Huobi, BitStamp Bitfinex [2016-04-26 03:57:19] BTCVIX : even Coinbase uses BTC [2016-04-26 03:57:38] BTCVIX : so idk -- it is a small point and just annoying more than anything else [2016-04-26 03:58:25] BitMEX_Arthur : We know your stance on it. I think the elimination of expiries will be a vast improvement [2016-04-26 03:59:13] BitMEX_Wally : If the product was called`BTCUSD` but the underlying is `XBT` and the settlement currency is `XBt` (Satoshis) then I think it would be even more confusing [2016-04-26 03:59:51] BTCVIX : well probably at this juncture you went down that path and you have to stick with it [2016-04-26 04:01:45] BitMEX_Wally : Yeah, we can always show BTC in the frontend for those who prefer it [2016-04-26 04:05:09] BTCVIX : yeah it isn't a terrible idea -- I am kind of giving you guy a hard time on this one -- I just think XBT is ugly -- and it reminds of an ugly girl every time I look at it [2016-04-26 04:05:16] BTCVIX : but I do like the direction of the new product [2016-04-26 04:06:49] BTCVIX : it is somewhat of the approach that BTCC has taken with their pro exchange [2016-04-26 04:07:13] BTCVIX : 1 product -- no expirations -- high leverage [2016-04-26 04:07:36] BTCVIX : I wasn't much of a fan of their EPA style compared to socialized losses but I am warming up to [2016-04-26 04:07:38] BTCVIX : it [2016-04-26 04:17:10] BitMEX_Arthur : The big issue is that it's in RMB [2016-04-26 04:17:18] BitMEX_Arthur : i mean your funding [2016-04-26 04:30:06] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBT48H`: Sell 1000 @ 464.52 [2016-04-26 04:39:09] micmix : BitMEX_Wally: any ETA on ETHXBT swap going live?
