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.

[2016-07-12 00:14:30] rapidtrades : like i said nominal is over 7% [2016-07-12 00:15:46] aethlios : I am long 5.000 eth in bitmex and short 5000 eth in finex earning 0.5% to 1% daily interest, I hope for a down move to 0.005 to keep the discount.

[2016-07-12 10:21:57] Mr Blue : elmorte: yes it would be too much, as I only believe a small % of what I read online, cover ups and the elites I've researched alot [2016-07-12 10:22:19] elmorte : alright, my bad then [2016-07-12 10:23:17] johndoe : i've spent lots of time in Thailand and am familiar with SE asian geography and i'd say that those waters are pretty safe from fukushima [2016-07-12 10:23:30] johndoe : gulf of thailand and indian ocean i mean [2016-07-12 10:27:28] Mr Blue : johndoe: it's all connected, but ye does look pretty clean from Google maps, depends on the ocean currents I guess, but Tuna do migrate [2016-07-12 10:27:51] subjective : has BTC break out of triangle yet? doesn't seem to be fully committed yet [2016-07-12 10:28:23] Mr Blue : You only need to research effects of Chernobyl to see Fukushima is going to hit us hard [2016-07-12 10:28:26] johndoe : it's also true that where im living (NE thailand) there are many fish farms in ponds, for better or worse. but i don't know anything about tuna. [2016-07-12 10:29:08] johndoe : subjective: depends which triangle. it broke one, but there's another close by here [2016-07-12 10:29:44] johndoe : lol, so far off-subject [2016-07-12 10:30:06] Mr Blue : johndoe: yes I now eat Alaskan polak it's a white fish so goes well for fish and chips, + it's from fresh water likes in Alaska not that the rain doesn't still get them [2016-07-12 10:31:48] Mr Blue : elmorte: where cool mate, I was only playing with you because was a strong chance you was having tuna with that pasta lol, you got me back anyways ? [2016-07-12 10:32:57] Mr Blue : Lakes** [2016-07-12 10:33:11] subjective : johndoe: probably 662 would confirm a break [2016-07-12 10:33:50] johndoe : yah, 662.60 on bitfinex [2016-07-12 10:34:05] johndoe : i'm currently short fwiw [2016-07-12 10:34:35] subjective : johndoe: i am short as well, for a small size for fun [2016-07-12 10:34:47] johndoe : just got short about 45min ago near the high, but i got long-term longs in another exchange [2016-07-12 10:35:01] johndoe : yah i'm just day-trading for fun too basically [2016-07-12 10:35:10] subjective : johndoe: i am waiting for clear signal to switch to buy.. [2016-07-12 10:35:36] subjective : same, fun size waiting for a good entry for buy [2016-07-12 10:36:02] elmorte : johndoe: use any local exchanges? [2016-07-12 10:36:29] johndoe : yah, coins.co.th is the best - although it is not an exchange per se [2016-07-12 10:36:49] elmorte : more like instantaneous trade? [2016-07-12 10:36:58] johndoe : just lets you buy and sell via thai bank accounts + some ATM card-less withdrawals if you are a thai citizen [2016-07-12 10:37:11] johndoe : used to be foreigner as well, but now just Thai for that specific withdrawal type [2016-07-12 10:37:27] elmorte : Ah, they have a debit card? [2016-07-12 10:37:49] johndoe : yah, check their site, they have a buy/sell rate on front page. sometimes they have some great arbitrage opportunities [2016-07-12 10:38:13] johndoe : sometimes they pay way too much for your BTC during a big down move - they are sometimes slow to catch up with the market price [2016-07-12 10:38:27] elmorte : Cool. Just curious...I'm down south in Malaysia, just wanted to compare experiences [2016-07-12 10:38:42] elmorte : Yeah, major latency between the world and local market here... [2016-07-12 10:38:56] subjective : johndoe: are you waiting for a buy entry point? [2016-07-12 10:39:08] johndoe : they got like 20 different withdrawal methods - mobile apps, traditional banking, card-less ATM passcodes method, pay off local credit cards, pay off local phone bills, etc. [2016-07-12 10:39:29] elmorte : That's some next level stuff for SEA [2016-07-12 10:39:52] johndoe : yah, so much more free here - love thailand sometimes [2016-07-12 10:39:58] johndoe : USA sucks for banking [2016-07-12 10:39:58] elmorte : :) [2016-07-12 10:40:12] elmorte : Didn't they have a ban on BTC sometime ago though? [2016-07-12 10:40:20] elmorte : Then again, they had a ban on MMA as well... [2016-07-12 10:40:45] johndoe : subjective: not exactly - i might cut a little if it breaks the high from an hour ago, but yah, looking at 662 basically [2016-07-12 10:41:21] johndoe : elmorte: yah the ban was never enforced, and the bank of thailand withdrew it a few months later [2016-07-12 10:41:26] johndoe : they just didn't understand btc i think [2016-07-12 10:41:57] subjective : johndoe: i am waiting for 600-620 to close short, or switch when it breaks 662 [2016-07-12 10:42:03] johndoe : thai gov. is one of the most likely govs in the world to not enforce a law or order [2016-07-12 10:42:35] johndoe : subjective: yah i got limit orders to close my position gradually starting around 640 down to 612ish [2016-07-12 10:43:00] elmorte : it's such a fascinating culture/system for an outsider [2016-07-12 10:43:00] subjective : not a bad way to go to slowly get out [2016-07-12 10:43:25] elmorte : I loved Fear & Loathing in Bangkok, dunno if you read it [2016-07-12 10:43:33] johndoe : elmorte: yah, nowadays they have MMA pretty often. they get the US matches and local matches [2016-07-12 10:43:51] elmorte : Yeah, ONE FC had a major event just in May [2016-07-12 10:43:56] johndoe : elmorte: nah, haven't read that one, but i saw the cover - i got to asia books a lot :) [2016-07-12 10:44:08] johndoe : go to* [2016-07-12 10:45:21] johndoe : elmorte: the culture is definitely unique - for better or worse. But i like it overall. [2016-07-12 10:46:10] johndoe : subjective: yah, slowly getting out spreads your positions like a dollar-cost averaging strategy [2016-07-12 10:47:34] johndoe : subjective: i try to place them pretty specifically based near critical support areas as well as several points below to catch "falling knife" liquidation orders and panic selling [2016-07-12 10:48:54] elmorte : johndoe: which charts do you use to deduce support areas? [2016-07-12 10:49:25] subjective : johndoe: that is a good strategy [2016-07-12 10:50:01] johndoe : well usually bitfinex as my default, but sometimes you gotta check bitstamp and okcoin's btcusd for specific USD points because this exchange is based on those 3 prices. [2016-07-12 10:50:27] johndoe : i also check the cnyusd okcoin/huobi price to get a better feel [2016-07-12 10:50:39] johndoe : chinese prices almost always lead usd prices by a second or two [2016-07-12 10:50:53] johndoe : and have more volume so you get more reliable support/resistance areas [2016-07-12 10:52:34] johndoe : more of an art than a science though - a lot of it just feeling the market and this exchange in particular. basically i just have a few tabs open and i rapidly switch between this page and ok-coin's cnyusd and bitfinex's btcusd, to try to quickly find breaks and oversold/overbought short-term moments [2016-07-12 10:53:03] elmorte : yeah, I found that following the Chinese prices real time was way more useful for scalping [2016-07-12 10:53:05] johndoe : this exchange tends to get carried away because of high leverage, so you can catch those liquidation type orders - those are my favs [2016-07-12 10:53:50] elmorte : liqdn order saved my ass last time we went under 600 [2016-07-12 10:55:19] johndoe : yah, i've kept a long-term buy-and-hold since about 420ish. so i just held on during that entire move down to 550 [2016-07-12 10:55:43] subjective : it overreacts with liquidation orders, i need to get on the right side. [2016-07-12 10:55:46] elmorte : I was long at 640+....a horrible day that was :( [2016-07-12 10:55:52] johndoe : but after bitfinex's last temp. shutdown, i came here and now have a lot more freedom to daytrade with great leverage [2016-07-12 10:56:04] subjective : looks like it's going to break up now [2016-07-12 10:56:24] johndoe : yah, i bought $10k at 655.42 a few mins ago [2016-07-12 10:56:41] johndoe : but i'm not convinced totally, so still net short [2016-07-12 11:00:30] subjective : yep, market haven't fully decided yet [2016-07-12 11:02:34] elmorte : So....halving was a non-event so far? [2016-07-12 11:02:46] elmorte : Hash rate is steady, even increasing... [2016-07-12 11:02:56] Mr Blue : http://www.globalresearch.ca/28-signs-that-the-west-coast-is-being-absolutely-fried-with-nuclear-radiation-from-fukushima/5355280 [2016-07-12 11:03:46] elmorte : Switch to Mediterranean fish @Mr Blue [2016-07-12 11:03:50] Mr Blue : Or for you financial guys that like Forbes http://www.globalresearch.ca/28-signs-that-the-west-coast-is-being-absolutely-fried-with-nuclear-radiation-from-fukushima/5355280 [2016-07-12 11:04:04] elmorte : Wrong link.... [2016-07-12 11:04:15] elmorte : But Forbes blog is not Forbes.... [2016-07-12 11:04:24] johndoe : elmorte: yeah, i thought hash rate would drop too. But it appears it didn't because mining equipment is still profitable in regards to electric costs, since they already paid for the mining equip. [2016-07-12 11:04:26] Mr Blue : elmorte: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2013/04/10/epa-draft-stirs-fears-of-radically-relaxed-radiation-guidelines/#5a5748f1ea2b [2016-07-12 11:04:37] elmorte : Yeah, that's the blog @Mr Blue [2016-07-12 11:04:53] subjective : wouldn't it be less risky if u always trade breakout.. less reward and risk [2016-07-12 11:04:56] elmorte : johndoe: fair enough [2016-07-12 11:05:21] elmorte : Lot of nonsense gets posted on Forbes' blogs... [2016-07-12 11:06:11] johndoe : subjective: not necessarily because there are too many false breakouts. [2016-07-12 11:06:37] Mr Blue : elmorte: your saying Forbes.com is a blog?? If so where can I post my rants lol [2016-07-12 11:06:59] johndoe : subjective: often the reverse strategy is preferable - meaning being long for a long time and getting short on those long breakouts if we are in a consolidation period type of market [2016-07-12 11:07:41] subjective : johndoe: great info [2016-07-12 11:08:50] johndoe : subjective: yah, giving away my best strategies :) [2016-07-12 11:08:56] subjective : order history swings on these fake outs.. [2016-07-12 11:09:15] Mr Blue : For example, the new EPA guide refers to International Atomic Energy Agency guidelines that suggest intervention is not necessary until drinking water is contaminated with radioactive iodine 131 at a concentration of 81,000 picocuries per liter. This is 27,000 times less stringent than the EPA rule of 3 picocuries per liter [2016-07-12 11:09:42] subjective : it's like "omg, it's a break out", then "wait, hold your horses, it's fake", then repeat [2016-07-12 11:09:50] Mr Blue : And I was just saying they increased it by 1000x to you guys lol,, 27k much worse lol [2016-07-12 11:10:23] johndoe : yah, i've got many years of experience in that emotion :( took a long time to surpress it [2016-07-12 11:11:52] subjective : johndoe: i know, i am pretty calm today, but also got in on the fake out as well. this needs discipline.. [2016-07-12 11:12:24] johndoe : Mr Blue: i can't say i have any idea whether the EPA is absurdly strict or not. These types of decisions are usually suspect and arbitrary - similar to protein consumption recommendations or carbs, etc, from the gov. in the past. [2016-07-12 11:13:49] Mr Blue : johndoe: ye but if they just increase safe levels after nuclear disasters, how can we trust the gov and if nothing is wrong why do it [2016-07-12 11:13:59] johndoe : subjective: yeah, i bought that $10k before as a kinda emotional response to the chinese exchanges' moves since this exchange and bitfinex hadn't reacted. i had too much leverage anyways so i don't mind too much even though its lower now. [2016-07-12 11:16:04] johndoe : Mr Blue: i mean i've read plenty of stuff about fukushima - i get links in email like every week from my mom, lol. But i'm just not particularly convinced because i haven't seen any reputable orgs that i'm familiar with worry too much about it as a USA issue. I just really don't know, but i'm skeptical about this type of stuff, as well as chemtrails, etc. [2016-07-12 11:17:10] Mr Blue : johndoe: since Fukushima how many dead seals / birds you seen?? [2016-07-12 11:17:33] johndoe : Mr Blue: uhm, you mean like in person? [2016-07-12 11:17:45] Mr Blue : I would mention the whales but that could just be because our magnetic field is also fucked at the moment [2016-07-12 11:18:26] Mr Blue : johndoe: ye I know you've been seeing few dead birds in person at least, as for the seals you see that on the news [2016-07-12 11:19:43] johndoe : Mr Blue: well i live in thailand, but i honestly cannot recall seeing any dead birds when i've been at the beach in phuket/ko samui/pattaya since fukushima
