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.

[2016-10-24 21:37:44] BitMEX_Sam : marinomedia: I'm seeing that code is not valid no matter how large I set our code window
[2016-10-24 21:37:56] BitMEX_Sam : Are you certain you are using the correct code? It changes when you disable/enable 2FA
[2016-10-24 21:38:28] marinomedia : i deleted it from goog auth then readded it
[2016-10-24 21:38:36] marinomedia : using qr on screen
[2016-10-24 21:38:55] BTCDJS : is there two in the list?
[2016-10-24 21:39:27] marinomedia : NOPE
[2016-10-24 21:39:54] BitMEX_Sam : marinomedia: Delete them all, re-add
[2016-10-24 21:40:00] BitMEX_Sam : None of your submitted tokens validate given any time period.
[2016-10-24 21:40:17] marinomedia : i know broh .. i will cntrl-f5 or something
[2016-10-24 21:40:26] rapidtrades : marinomedia: did u use the old QR code when u re-added it?
[2016-10-24 21:40:52] marinomedia : gives me same one time secret
[2016-10-24 21:41:07] BitMEX_Sam : Delete the account from your GA app & re-add
[2016-10-24 21:41:17] marinomedia : yeah i did that first
[2016-10-24 21:41:24] marinomedia : then checked to see it was not in there
[2016-10-24 21:41:51] marinomedia : k will readd again and see
[2016-10-24 21:42:36] marinomedia : SUCCESS
[2016-10-24 21:42:55] marinomedia : very strange
[2016-10-24 21:43:37] marinomedia : Sam is kyc required for withdrawl? bitcoin only deposit?
[2016-10-24 21:43:55] BitMEX_Greg : marinomedia: We only accept Bitcoin here, so we do not require KYC
[2016-10-24 21:44:10] marinomedia : cool cause my id is expired
[2016-10-24 21:44:42] BitMEX_Greg : You should probably get a new one in case you ever lose access to your account. That's the only time we may ask you for ID to verify the account
[2016-10-24 21:45:11] marinomedia : I know i need to
[2016-10-24 21:45:46] Mm bot : It is too bad we don't have a usable 3m BTC future contract, swap is expensive to hold long term, JPY contract was in hell today
[2016-10-24 21:47:29] rapidtrades : +1
[2016-10-24 21:49:21] marinomedia : Any price graphs on futures?
[2016-10-24 21:49:30] Mm bot : BitMEX_Greg: any further action for JPY holders caused by this "abnormality"? The "Recent Trades" tab looks like as nothing has happened
[2016-10-24 21:49:33] rapidtrades : buttfinex fund raising still at 20mil.....plus only 200 backers
[2016-10-24 21:49:48] rapidtrades : looks like most of that 20mil was inside funds
[2016-10-24 21:50:09] rapidtrades : meaning they haven't raised shit
[2016-10-24 21:50:25] BitMEX_Greg : Mm bot: We are investigating what happened with Quoine. They are located in Asian timezone so we should have an answer back sometime later
[2016-10-24 21:50:42] BTCDJS : rapidtrades: you got a law degree?
[2016-10-24 21:52:07] REKT : Liquidated long on `LTCXBT`: Sell 1000 @ 0.00593
[2016-10-24 21:52:29] marinomedia : No graph guys? guess i got to use api
[2016-10-24 21:52:53] rapidtrades : there is a chart in the middle....how can u miss it
[2016-10-24 21:53:29] rapidtrades : also offering the hacker money for the stolen coins can not be legal
[2016-10-24 21:53:57] rapidtrades : guess they're beyond caring at this point
[2016-10-24 21:54:12] rapidtrades : break as many laws
[2016-10-24 21:54:30] habibi : BitMEX_Greg: u said it was fatfinger Greg :(
[2016-10-24 21:54:37] marinomedia : Graph in middle? i must be blind
[2016-10-24 21:55:07] BitMEX_Sam : You probably see the deposit widget. Switch to the advanced layout (click your name at the top right) to see a chart
[2016-10-24 21:55:15] Mm bot : It is hard to not expect there are some manipulation going on. Offshore Yuan hit record low 2 hours before that Quoine flash.
[2016-10-24 21:55:18] marinomedia : thanks sam
[2016-10-24 21:56:27] marinomedia : its trump
[2016-10-24 21:56:30] marinomedia : re yuan
[2016-10-24 21:56:47] marinomedia : they got to lower it while they can exports in china are off
[2016-10-24 21:57:11] BitMEX_Greg : habibi: There were two events, we need to find out from them why this happened on such a small amount of volume and look at ways to prevent this from happening in the future
[2016-10-24 21:57:33] j8 : i think it could have been a glitch rather than real trades.. well i'm not sure but it seems they edited it out of the trade history
[2016-10-24 21:59:51] Mm bot : BitMEX_Greg: if it was a glitch are we getting positions restored?
[2016-10-24 21:59:52] miramm1115 : j8: I switched pricing source for my bot to bitFlyer just in case, the API is much better
[2016-10-24 22:00:50] j8 : oh yeah they actually have more volume eh.
[2016-10-24 22:01:38] miramm1115 : about 5x volume
[2016-10-24 22:01:44] BTCDJS : damn son. who's 100k short is that?
[2016-10-24 22:01:48] j8 : i guess they're both zero fee so who knows what that means
[2016-10-24 22:02:07] BTCDJS : thats nasty
[2016-10-24 22:03:20] dasdfasdf : who flashed a 450000 long
[2016-10-24 22:04:53] BitMEX_Greg : Mm bot: It was not a BitMEX glitch.
[2016-10-24 22:05:24] BitMEX_Greg : It's asimilar to if we had an index comprised 100% of bitfinex and they had that flash crash not too long ago
[2016-10-24 22:05:52] wurstgelee : lol
[2016-10-24 22:05:57] j8 : lol at "if"
[2016-10-24 22:06:00] wurstgelee : sleger having fun
[2016-10-24 22:11:14] habibi : BitMEX_Greg: maybe share price on index with bitflyer
[2016-10-24 22:12:47] BitMEX_Greg : habibi: Yeah we are going to discuss options
[2016-10-24 22:14:51] eth2mars : BitMEX_Greg: we need a reasonable settlement price. No one would survived that crash.
[2016-10-24 22:19:32] j8 : i would have, but still it makes me nervous
[2016-10-24 22:38:05] sleger : stop blaming me for everything !
[2016-10-24 23:09:41] rapidtrades : we can at least blame u for WW2
[2016-10-24 23:09:55] rapidtrades : that steamroll was embarassing
[2016-10-24 23:44:37] martinium : BitMEX_Greg: why doesn't bitmex use the Kaiko Bitcoin Global Price Index instead of their current one?
[2016-10-24 23:47:20] martinium : many more exchanges like that would be best
[2016-10-24 23:48:07] rapidtrades : martinium: why would it 'be best'
[2016-10-24 23:48:32] BitMEX_Arthur : We have to balance an index being tradable with being more robust, mm need an index that is easy to hedge against, the more exchanges the harder it is to match the index
[2016-10-24 23:49:03] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: hi, then at least include gdax and btce
[2016-10-24 23:49:06] BitMEX_Arthur : we experienced this with the Tradeblock XBX Index, many traders here complained they could not match the index and it's calculation was a mystery so we moved to something less complex
[2016-10-24 23:49:19] BitMEX_Arthur : No one outside of america can trade on gdax
[2016-10-24 23:49:23] BitMEX_Arthur : we don't serve american clients
[2016-10-24 23:49:38] martinium : ah then instead add xbtce
[2016-10-24 23:49:39] BitMEX_Arthur : So we would essentially be adding a price that non of our market makers could trade against
[2016-10-24 23:50:07] MrRGnome : Why don't you allow US accounts?
[2016-10-24 23:50:07] BitMEX_Arthur : and btce is a contentious issue, many clients view them as a shady exchange, i reserve judgement on them, but that is the perception
[2016-10-24 23:50:09] martinium : even though american clients aren't traded you are still trading usd
[2016-10-24 23:50:23] martinium : yes btce has always had that rep
[2016-10-24 23:50:33] BitMEX_Arthur : Yes but you can trade USD outside of America, you can't open an account on gdax unless you are american
[2016-10-24 23:50:45] martinium : i see what you mean
[2016-10-24 23:51:11] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: any plans fot xbtcny?
[2016-10-24 23:51:36] martinium : dabtc could be main exchange for an index
[2016-10-24 23:51:46] martinium : with btcc
[2016-10-24 23:51:48] BitMEX_Arthur : No plans, there are plenty of market leaders on that pair
[2016-10-24 23:52:15] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: are you the founder of Bitmex?
[2016-10-24 23:52:30] BitMEX_Arthur : I am one of the co-founders yes, along with Sam and Ben
[2016-10-24 23:52:36] rapidtrades : i'd rather trade the yuan then the yen tbh
[2016-10-24 23:52:46] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: gj with this exchange
[2016-10-24 23:53:01] martinium : I read the piece in bloomberg about you guys
[2016-10-24 23:54:02] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: I understand there are many leaders with the XBTCNY pair but it would attract lots more traders/liquidity IMO
[2016-10-24 23:54:19] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: Sell 4155 @ 647.11
[2016-10-24 23:54:47] martinium : those are the main two pairings that are traded right now with btc
[2016-10-24 23:54:56] BitMEX_Arthur : martinium: we may revist that once we have more chinese users
[2016-10-24 23:55:09] BitMEX_Arthur : Again we are very aware that most of our market makers do not have access to RMB onshore
[2016-10-24 23:55:15] BitMEX_Arthur : So it becomes difficult to market make
[2016-10-24 23:55:20] BitMEX_Arthur : XBT/CNY
[2016-10-24 23:55:27] martinium : ah, that makes perfect sense
[2016-10-24 23:55:44] MrRGnome : Why do you disallow US clients but allow other north american clients with similar KYC requirements?
[2016-10-24 23:56:17] martinium : technically though do you even really need the actual yuan/rmb? it can be synthetic and just follow the price of it
[2016-10-24 23:56:38] habibi : MrRGnome: guess they don't want cftc invade bitmex
[2016-10-24 23:56:43] BitMEX_Arthur : MrRGnome: America goes after foreign companies, and our legal team advised against that headache, there is no Bitcoin based derivatives exchange that takes american clients
[2016-10-24 23:56:57] martinium : yes because american laws are stupid
[2016-10-24 23:57:14] martinium : especially the cftc
[2016-10-24 23:57:25] BitMEX_Arthur : martinium: as a directional trader you don't, but someone has to offer you that exposure, and they need to hedge
[2016-10-24 23:58:24] martinium : yeah, a MM would def need to hedge
[2016-10-24 23:59:03] MrRGnome : A lot of places have similar laws. I'm in Canada and the laws are near identical, Seems like Americans are simply more prosecutorial and that's the issue
[2016-10-24 23:59:05] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: eventually many chinese users will use this exchange because I believe many probably trade USD pairings
[2016-10-25 00:01:07] BitMEX_Arthur : martinium: We believe so too, since we launched our Chinese language option and began marketing more heavily towards those users signups have increased dramatically
[2016-10-25 00:01:55] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: the security is the best feature so def market that aspect
[2016-10-25 00:02:50] martinium : along with the trading engine. best i've used for btc
[2016-10-25 00:03:48] martinium : word will spread
[2016-10-25 00:05:16] rapidtrades : trading engine seems most stable of every exchange ive tried
[2016-10-25 00:05:36] martinium : yeah the dev for it knows his stuff
[2016-10-25 00:06:05] rapidtrades : we'll see what happens when the volume rises :)
[2016-10-25 00:06:09] rapidtrades : so far so good
[2016-10-25 00:07:53] martinium : yeah
[2016-10-25 00:07:58] martinium : it responds very well
[2016-10-25 00:08:04] martinium : and thats over the internet
[2016-10-25 00:08:08] martinium : impressive to say the least
[2016-10-25 00:10:25] martinium : most important thing though is increased liquidity
[2016-10-25 00:11:15] martinium : once that is at bitfinex pre-hack volume levels should be awesome
[2016-10-25 00:21:55] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: is bitcoin big in HK the way it is in mainland?
[2016-10-25 00:22:49] BitMEX_Arthur : No
[2016-10-25 00:23:09] BitMEX_Arthur : companies are based in HK because it's more pleasant to live here than mainland china
[2016-10-25 00:23:35] BitMEX_Arthur : Other than that HK is a very expensive rock with english common law
[2016-10-25 00:26:10] martinium : gotcha
[2016-10-25 00:26:19] martinium : BitMEX_Arthur: are you american?
[2016-10-25 00:28:55] martinium : lot of ex-pats out in HK
[2016-10-25 00:33:54] BitMEX_Arthur : martinium: Yes i'm american
[2016-10-25 00:34:21] martinium : keep up the good work
[2016-10-25 00:35:40] BitMEX_Arthur : :thumbsup:
[2016-10-25 00:36:57] zanza : ?
[2016-10-25 00:59:44] eth2mars : BitMEX_Arthur: no settlement from quoine crash?
[2016-10-25 01:03:11] mjones : is it safe to trade XBJ again
[2016-10-25 01:03:30] BitMEX_Sam : eth2mars: We will have more news on that shortly
[2016-10-25 01:03:46] BitMEX_Sam : mjones: We have changed the MarkMethod for XBJ to be resilient to flash crashes and spikes
[2016-10-25 01:11:54] eth2mars : BitMEX_Sam: thanks!
[2016-10-25 01:12:41] aethlios : ne leg up
[2016-10-25 01:29:08] BitMEX_Sam : > PBOC fixes yuan @ 6.7744 (prev fix 6.7690, prev close 6.7775)
[2016-10-25 01:30:10] sleger : rapidtrades invaded Sam's body !!
[2016-10-25 01:37:17] mbaril : calm tongight
[2016-10-25 01:37:55] d00ber : quiet... too quiet
[2016-10-25 01:38:05] mbaril : something is about to happen :P
[2016-10-25 01:38:16] aethlios : next leg up started xbtusd
[2016-10-25 01:38:51] mbaril : not sure about that
[2016-10-25 01:39:13] mbaril : there is some nice little wall here
[2016-10-25 01:39:45] aethlios : mbaril: 40 usd up next 4 hours
[2016-10-25 01:39:53] mbaril : lets see that ;)
[2016-10-25 01:40:02] mbaril : so you said 690
[2016-10-25 01:40:09] mbaril : do you want to bet
[2016-10-25 01:40:55] aethlios : mbaril: I am long already
[2016-10-25 01:41:00] mbaril : ;)
[2016-10-25 01:42:42] aethlios : 430>800, 620>1175.
[2016-10-25 01:43:10] Rado : not in the next 4 hr
[2016-10-25 02:04:35] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETHXBT`: Sell 7 @ 0.01812
[2016-10-25 02:12:30] mjones : eth almost 3 month low
[2016-10-25 02:12:56] mjones : lol eth
[2016-10-25 02:13:03] mjones : going for tha tlow
[2016-10-25 02:23:44] mjones : i'm pretty sure quoine fakes their volume too or has at least 1 no fee account
[2016-10-25 02:24:20] mjones : or maybe someone who doesnt care about paying fees and generates volume
[2016-10-25 02:24:56] mjones : whole thing looks shady
[2016-10-25 02:32:38] eth2mars : mjones: i was shocked from yesterdays quoine crash. eth has another issue.
[2016-10-25 02:34:16] MrRGnome : the streets flow red with the blood of eth traders. Anyone daring to long here?
[2016-10-25 02:34:30] eth2mars : mjones: need to wait till metropolis
[2016-10-25 02:50:34] mjones : eth see how many dip buyers there are
[2016-10-25 02:51:18] mjones : 0.0178 is the low to break and we'll see if it dumps hard
[2016-10-25 02:51:35] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETHXBT`: Sell 1070 @ 0.01787
[2016-10-25 03:05:52] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETHXBT`: Sell 400 @ 0.01781
[2016-10-25 03:09:01] mjones : 1 more wall keeping ETH away from falling to 0.0168
[2016-10-25 03:10:00] aethlios : vitalic plunching protection fund try to hold price
[2016-10-25 03:11:06] aethlios : monero 0.0071 soon with btc 700
[2016-10-25 03:11:28] mjones : yeah ETH and XMR probably the 2 biggest coins to get hit hard. anyone long on Poloniex will be hurting
[2016-10-25 03:12:10] mjones : the people with tens of thousands of BTC can buy the whole way down while longing BTC. then buy more alts with profit from BTC longs. win win
[2016-10-25 03:12:14] aethlios : 0.0071 my re-entry price for monero, many will sell to buy stupid zcash.
[2016-10-25 03:12:40] mjones : zcash is going to be a trainwreck starting off
[2016-10-25 03:12:53] mjones : will be interesting to see how soon exchanges start listing it
[2016-10-25 03:13:11] aethlios : from 1st day in polo my guess.
[2016-10-25 03:13:49] billyboy402 : mjones: at current price of 0.22 i am mining about $5 a day with CPU , so seam about right , but i guess user will rent hardware ( AWS ) so the diff will go up
[2016-10-25 03:13:52] mjones : a lot of people mining for a few thousand coins. gonna be interesting to see the price. i'll be on my computer friday and all weekend
[2016-10-25 03:14:04] aethlios : if zcah fails, only monero left as private crypto tech.
[2016-10-25 03:14:38] aethlios : my too, want to short it, but afraid of margin call pumpers.
[2016-10-25 03:14:59] aethlios : nicehash will have mining from 1st day
[2016-10-25 03:15:23] aethlios : zcash most hyped coin ever.
[2016-10-25 03:15:45] billyboy402 : aethlios: yea , but i am guessing that would be from AWS ,. some huge whale rent heaps and sell it directly on nicehash
[2016-10-25 03:17:00] aethlios : profit mining other coins could go up because of zcash mining
[2016-10-25 03:22:11] billyboy402 : aethlios: maybe , maybe alot of miner that mine ETH change over
[2016-10-25 03:23:37] aethlios : first 3 or 7 days will be the all time top for zcash, open short then.
[2016-10-25 03:24:08] aethlios : all stupid will value 4 bill a non existent coin
[2016-10-25 03:24:15] billyboy402 : prob better to calurlate a better short after the first month , mining slowly increase over the first month ,
[2016-10-25 03:36:08] aethlios : eurusd below 1, and usdcnh above 7, then btc above 1000.
[2016-10-25 03:42:00] MrRGnome : rapidtrades, you around? Since we're best friends and this eth dump is probably going to leave me homeless can I chill on your couch bro?
[2016-10-25 03:42:32] billyboy402 : MrRGnome: haha I love the mateship
[2016-10-25 03:52:52] mbaril : lift up in 7 minutes :P
[2016-10-25 03:56:16] mbaril : 4 min

[2016-10-25 05:19:15] MrRGnome : rapidtrades it's my hour of need and you aren't here for me wtf
[2016-10-25 05:21:32] CaptainDean : hold you from what ?%
[2016-10-25 05:29:00] MrRGnome : From the eth floor falling out from beneath my long
[2016-10-25 05:30:14] MrRGnome : I just wanted a quick hard fork bump that's all! It was supposed to be in and out, no one was supposed to get hurt! *cries into beer*
[2016-10-25 05:33:40] kdeath : MrRGnome: I share your pain!
[2016-10-25 05:34:56] kdeath : closed the 5% bump from the first HF then got greedy and opened a long for the second HF that never came =(
[2016-10-25 06:11:44] blackwhite : I'm very confused about yesterday's loss in xbj. As I read, the index price crashed. However my position was liq'd at enormously high price which isn't logical. A big stake is lost, I'm waiting for further steps form Bitmex.
[2016-10-25 06:11:59] blackwhite : *from
[2016-10-25 06:16:57] eth2mars : blackwhite: Arthur sent out an email regarding this issue. We should wait.
[2016-10-25 06:17:19] eth2mars : Looks like quoine chart is dancing again, see 15 min chart.
[2016-10-25 06:18:09] eth2mars : their index is not reliable at all. With less than 100BTC you can swing the market by 5% ???
[2016-10-25 06:18:58] eth2mars : i am afraid of taking position on XBJ again
[2016-10-25 06:30:34] dqx4 : what do ppl reckon is minimum spread necessary for arbing bw finex and other usd exchanges?
[2016-10-25 06:47:50] billyboy402 : you need at lease the fee which is normally around 1% round trip ,. i dont bother unless it 4% +
[2016-10-25 06:48:19] billyboy402 : but if you can get a fast bot , any profit it great if your fast enough
[2016-10-25 06:54:20] akearn : hello sorry but I am new I had 2.4 btc with leverage 5 long order okk but I can see I have 1.94 btc. I found in account page 2016-10-25 17:30:00 RealisedPNL -0.1059 XBT -.-- XBTUSD Completed 1.9468 XBT
[2016-10-25 06:55:10] billyboy402 : you paid funding cost to hold open the trade
[2016-10-25 06:55:42] akearn : its 0.10 btc is not it a big amount ?
[2016-10-25 06:55:44] billyboy402 : up the top right near you name , you will see that there a funding clock countdown + a fee you will have to pay
[2016-10-25 06:56:05] billyboy402 : yep that about right ,
[2016-10-25 06:56:22] billyboy402 : if you are long . you currently have to pay . if you are short , you recive it
[2016-10-25 06:56:28] Velancry : the funding rate is stupid
[2016-10-25 06:56:48] akearn : okkk thx for the info now wiil check ad will be awer of the clock
[2016-10-25 06:57:08] akearn : Velancry: exactly bro
[2016-10-25 06:57:12] billyboy402 : Velancry: only if you dont understand it . but it the same as shorting a perineum and profiting that way
[2016-10-25 06:57:48] billyboy402 : you would of been happy if you shorted it and recvied a bonus 0.1BTC :)
[2016-10-25 06:57:59] Velancry : billyboy402: what is the purpose of it, because I cant see it.
[2016-10-25 06:58:00] XXXX : akearn: thats the pleasure of holding longs. unless BTC prise rises by 1.5 dollar a day you make loss every day of 1.5 dollars for every BTC position you are long.
[2016-10-25 06:58:58] billyboy402 : Velancry: it keep the price closer to the index price .... few months ago .... Bitfinex would be 600 and bitmex would be 650 ..... then when it drop , Bitmex would stay still and you couldnt cash out
[2016-10-25 07:01:22] billyboy402 : for example , there a funding fee for BTC ,. but there like a $1 preium here . so the funding fee make user like myself short it , to push the price down
[2016-10-25 07:01:41] akearn : anyway its my fault I did not tried to understand it at frst thnx @billyboy402 nd @XXXX
[2016-10-25 07:02:15] Velancry : billyboy402: Ok that make sense. Thanks
[2016-10-25 07:02:20] billyboy402 : say Bitmex was right now 660 .... why would you want to buy it $10 more then every where else . so there a Fee .... to bring in more user to short it
[2016-10-25 07:03:21] billyboy402 : just remember that if you are paying a fee 0.20% . it mean that you have prob 2% and the market is climing too fast
[2016-10-25 07:04:14] akearn : (y)
[2016-10-25 07:04:40] aethlios : if you don't have open position at exact funding time, then don't pay.
[2016-10-25 07:05:05] billyboy402 : etheruem is a good example , the next funding is going to be -0.2% but is has fallen in price by 3-5% today
[2016-10-25 07:05:19] billyboy402 : aethlios: nope
[2016-10-25 07:05:45] billyboy402 : so if you are going to have to pay a fee .... close it if you can .....
[2016-10-25 07:06:10] billyboy402 : that the same is you are going to recvive it , open it 10 min early and get the bonus
[2016-10-25 07:07:01] billyboy402 : but welcome to bitmex :)
[2016-10-25 07:07:39] akearn : billyboy402: funding time is same of every coin ???
[2016-10-25 07:07:52] billyboy402 : yea , every 8 hours
[2016-10-25 07:08:03] billyboy402 : https://www.bitmex.com/app/fundingHistory
[2016-10-25 07:08:20] aethlios : xbj has no funding, if you want a longer term long
[2016-10-25 07:08:21] billyboy402 : Today, longs will pay 0.1393%, and shorts will receive 0.1393% at 23:00 (12:00 UTC). BitMEX does not charge fees on funding payments.
[2016-10-25 07:09:06] akearn : okk got it thnk u very much for help sure it will help me a lot @billyboy402
[2016-10-25 07:09:10] billyboy402 : Funding occurs every 8 hours at 04:00 UTC, 12:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC
[2016-10-25 07:09:29] aethlios : 5% premium dec future, very cheap, you can ride a one month rally and premium still the same, so you pay nothing.
[2016-10-25 07:09:34] billyboy402 : so sleep 7 hour , wake up , trade go back to sleep :)
[2016-10-25 07:10:15] akearn : exactly ;)
[2016-10-25 07:10:32] billyboy402 : I personaly dont understand why they offer JPY and not USD
[2016-10-25 07:11:15] billyboy402 : they use to have USD and the die in volume and they removed them , i guess they have a huge whale that want to hege but hegde to JPY
[2016-10-25 07:13:02] wurstgelee : well, could easily have both
[2016-10-25 07:13:08] wurstgelee : JPY and USd futures
[2016-10-25 07:15:33] jose : the problem with the USD futures is that is was not linear, IIRC
[2016-10-25 07:24:43] wurstgelee : if i get that correctly, eth is broken?
[2016-10-25 07:24:48] wurstgelee : nodes cant sync?
[2016-10-25 07:25:03] wurstgelee : https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/598nfc/will_sync_in_2_hours_is_in_day_4_now/
[2016-10-25 07:35:34] aethlios : wurstgelee: my wallet doesn't sync, problems after the fork
[2016-10-25 07:35:54] wurstgelee : yep, that
[2016-10-25 07:36:04] wurstgelee : seems to be a common problem now
[2016-10-25 07:36:47] aethlios : 1 billion and even doesn't sync
[2016-10-25 07:37:18] aethlios : well zcash is 4 billion and nonexists
[2016-10-25 07:37:30] habibi : 4bilion?
[2016-10-25 07:38:01] habibi : u are showing marketcap for btc with 21m coins or actual ammount?
[2016-10-25 07:38:14] aethlios : 21 million coins * 0.225*660= 3.15 bill, but they say it is cheap
[2016-10-25 07:38:49] aethlios : perspective market cap based on 21 million supply
[2016-10-25 07:38:53] habibi : so with that logic recalculate marketcap for eth where supply can be endless
[2016-10-25 07:39:16] j8 : omg buy
[2016-10-25 07:39:20] XXXX : aethlios: its cheap for first week or month. but who says you have to hold DEX 30 contract till the last date. you can sold it once XZC launch at polo.
[2016-10-25 07:40:09] XXXX : aethlios: ZEC 30Dec contract not DEX30
[2016-10-25 07:41:10] aethlios : monero 83 mill usd with 75% already mined
[2016-10-25 07:42:20] wurstgelee : u and your "perspective market cap" again
[2016-10-25 07:42:21] wurstgelee : oO
[2016-10-25 07:43:53] XXXX : aethlios: then why not short the hell out of it. I have buy orders at 0.18. Thats where I was ADLed in profit few days ago.
[2016-10-25 07:44:54] aethlios : XXXX: I want to short but afraid manipulation for upside spikes, will wait to go to a spot and think when is a safer time.
[2016-10-25 07:45:31] wurstgelee : aethlios: no, u are afraid because "perspective marketcap" has zero influence on first weeks if not months
[2016-10-25 07:45:33] wurstgelee : ;)
[2016-10-25 07:45:55] wurstgelee : if polo does its thing, it does its thing
[2016-10-25 07:49:45] aethlios : this never happened yet a coin with no supply to start so high, so let's see how much hype is out there.
[2016-10-25 07:50:15] wurstgelee : yep
[2016-10-25 07:50:27] wurstgelee : 3 days
[2016-10-25 08:49:08] RocketScience : selling etc 1566, bless my market making attempt
[2016-10-25 08:52:05] RocketScience : etc fork was the epitome of anti-climactic event
[2016-10-25 09:36:32] Boontjie : there was fork?
[2016-10-25 09:37:03] Boontjie : they need to market this stuff better, the eth people had a site dedicated to it
[2016-10-25 10:06:59] RocketScience : fork is a double edged sword for etc "non-fork" chain
[2016-10-25 10:07:11] RocketScience : their reddit is dead or full of eth trolls xD
[2016-10-25 10:08:04] RocketScience : eth has 20 minutes blocktimes today and etc could suffer the same attack
[2016-10-25 10:15:50] RocketScience : they are both pretty much rekt for the foreseeable future
[2016-10-25 10:29:37] blackwhite : I would like to thank Arthur and the Bitmex team for how they finally acted about yesterday's incident.
[2016-10-25 10:36:56] zanza : https://xiaomiprime.wordpress.com/2016/10/25/xiaomi-mi-note-2-announced-snapdragon-821-6gb-ram-imx318-4000-mah-and-more/
[2016-10-25 10:44:19] justinlooking : is kraken broken?
[2016-10-25 10:49:27] rapidtrades : zanza: 6 GB ram huh.....that's bigger then my laptop
[2016-10-25 10:56:13] rapidtrades : it costs almost as much as a laptop too
[2016-10-25 11:01:40] habibi : RocketScience: where u have 20 minutes blocktimes on eth ?
[2016-10-25 11:03:01] justinlooking : RocketScience: is fudding hard.... https://ethstats.net/
[2016-10-25 11:38:52] billyboy402 : blackwhite: what happen yesterday
[2016-10-25 12:00:04] zanza : not that expensive, only about $500 for top end model with Global LTE
[2016-10-25 12:05:30] sleger : paid around 1k for the iphone 7 !
[2016-10-25 12:13:59] rapidtrades : sleger: ur ETH investment not doing so great
[2016-10-25 12:17:18] rapidtrades : sleger: do u sell options only on stocks?
[2016-10-25 12:20:58] sleger : i bought eth long term. yes options almost only on equities
[2016-10-25 12:21:51] mjones : ETC hit a new low
[2016-10-25 12:26:03] rapidtrades : sleger: cos of liquidity or what?
[2016-10-25 13:12:22] justinlooking : rapidtrades: u thinking of writing options?
[2016-10-25 13:22:08] habibi : https://blog.bitmex.com/the-guide-to-zcash-the-digital-currency-that-aims-to-dethrone-bitcoin/ nice post
[2016-10-25 13:43:57] DangerandPlay : i have a feeling we're going to witness a huge dip in ETH once miners realise how profitable zcash is short-term
[2016-10-25 13:44:01] DangerandPlay : :)
[2016-10-25 13:45:19] justinlooking : yay for responsive difficulty adjustments
[2016-10-25 13:46:14] laisee : maybe zcash will help BTC pull finger and start innovating instead of fighting
[2016-10-25 13:47:16] mjones : xmr, etc, eth all going down down down
[2016-10-25 13:48:27] aethlios : eth goes to shit, maybe has serious problems.
[2016-10-25 13:48:46] DangerandPlay : any predictions about ETH price one month from now, once zcash is mining?
[2016-10-25 13:49:00] mjones : eth has been this high or higher for just about 8 months. lotta bagholders
[2016-10-25 13:50:14] aethlios : zcash a perma short as supply adds up. also btcusd bullish which makes that 0.23 price expensive.
[2016-10-25 13:50:59] wurstgelee : lolz
[2016-10-25 13:51:12] wurstgelee : so...how much supply is enough for shorting then?
[2016-10-25 13:51:31] wurstgelee : 10k? 100k? 1m? 10m?
[2016-10-25 13:51:34] mjones : depends on how high the price is
[2016-10-25 13:52:36] aethlios : wurstgelee: all time top for zcash in the first week, all miners will be dumping for months, all mining contract buyers etc.
[2016-10-25 13:53:00] aethlios : 10 to 15 usd a stabilization price.
[2016-10-25 13:53:02] wurstgelee : willing to place a bet on that? the top after 1 w?
[2016-10-25 13:53:57] wurstgelee : on day 7, the supply will be 5760
[2016-10-25 13:53:59] wurstgelee : total
[2016-10-25 13:54:02] wurstgelee : just saying....
[2016-10-25 13:54:22] wurstgelee : so no, no top after 1w unless polo decides to spoike to several btc per zec
[2016-10-25 13:54:23] aethlios : I don't bet, I trade, I said I want to short, wait for a better moment with lower manipulation here
[2016-10-25 13:54:39] wurstgelee : trading is betting ;)
[2016-10-25 13:55:50] wurstgelee : off to homebase, bbl
[2016-10-25 13:56:24] aethlios : did they say what time at 28th it starts?
[2016-10-25 13:57:08] martinium : no idea
[2016-10-25 13:59:35] REKT : Liquidated long on `XMR7D`: Sell 2280 @ 0.009492
[2016-10-25 13:59:35] REKT : Liquidated long on `XMR7D`: Sell 169 @ 0.009488
[2016-10-25 14:00:51] aethlios : btc bullish and all serious coins getting crashed except the magic zcash which still makes new dummy ATH
[2016-10-25 14:01:35] Kalman : aethlios: zcash is only a future yet
[2016-10-25 14:02:17] aethlios : zcashmania.
[2016-10-25 14:02:30] Kalman : its huge question if people take that much money in the hand
[2016-10-25 14:02:44] Kalman : at launch
[2016-10-25 14:03:49] aethlios : serious buyers will wait 1 year after touching zcash
[2016-10-25 14:04:39] aethlios : if zcash fails (many things can go shitty) then monero is the only game in town.
[2016-10-25 14:05:02] aethlios : for black markets i mean.
[2016-10-25 14:05:53] habibi : if not then zcash will be only game in town for anonimity
[2016-10-25 14:06:10] habibi : holy grail :)
[2016-10-25 14:06:47] aethlios : we don't know if their new system works.
[2016-10-25 14:06:58] habibi : so far it works,testnet been there for months
[2016-10-25 14:09:42] REKT : Liquidated short on `ZECZ16`: Buy 4 @ 0.243750
[2016-10-25 14:10:03] mjones : damn zcash going up still
[2016-10-25 14:10:08] habibi : mjones: u short?
[2016-10-25 14:10:10] mjones : XRP holding strong too. rest of the coins going to shit
[2016-10-25 14:10:22] mjones : i have not touched zcash yet. 2x is too low
[2016-10-25 14:10:25] mjones : give me like 10x
[2016-10-25 14:10:43] habibi : thats funny
[2016-10-25 14:11:35] mjones : .25 to .5 is 200% ROE
[2016-10-25 14:12:19] mjones : i'll see how things are on friday
[2016-10-25 14:12:41] jose : with 10x on ZEC, you liquidate just with the spread
[2016-10-25 14:13:16] mjones : yeah i dont know why anyone is trading zec
[2016-10-25 14:13:48] mjones : 2x and .25 and you gotta wait till friday and hope some legit exchange adds it
[2016-10-25 14:14:17] habibi : this is what we do here on all coins right? speculation
[2016-10-25 14:14:35] aethlios : bitmex could place a cap at 0.5, and remove the cap 1 week prior to expiration. so more people will trade and short it.
[2016-10-25 14:14:43] mjones : zec is hardcore though.
[2016-10-25 14:15:14] habibi : aethlios: more inside regulations ! more
[2016-10-25 14:15:43] aethlios : any bitmex here?? place a cap to zcash so people can short, remove the cap 1 week pior to expiration since then volumes at spot will exist.
[2016-10-25 14:16:25] aethlios : why not a cap?? people can trade then safely. not afraid of manipulation.
[2016-10-25 14:16:54] BitMEX_Sam : Because adding a cap is manipulation by the exchange to benefit shorters.
[2016-10-25 14:17:04] habibi : i guess u are short and ur liquidation is around 0.5
[2016-10-25 14:18:45] habibi : cut ur losses or be ready for potential liquidation
[2016-10-25 14:19:43] mjones : if 1 ZEC is $300 then that would be a million dollar market cap on the first day. 2 million on the second day
[2016-10-25 14:20:00] habibi : 100 coins timex 300$ is 1 milion :D?
[2016-10-25 14:20:03] habibi : times*
[2016-10-25 14:20:07] mjones : 3000 coins
[2016-10-25 14:20:13] mjones : 125,000 first 34 days
[2016-10-25 14:20:19] habibi : eh
[2016-10-25 14:20:19] mjones : i dunno how many are mined the first day
[2016-10-25 14:20:32] mjones : i just divided to get average per day
[2016-10-25 14:20:32] habibi : so why u are trying to guess first day cap at x price
[2016-10-25 14:21:02] habibi : there will be ~100 coins minder at first day
[2016-10-25 14:21:06] habibi : mined*
[2016-10-25 14:21:55] mjones : i'm gonna guess people will be on bitcointalk offering to sell 0.25 ZEC for .4 BTC or something crazy
[2016-10-25 14:23:01] DangerandPlay : anyone got a prediction for ETH price one month from now, given zcash imminent arrival./....
[2016-10-25 14:23:43] DangerandPlay : i think it could reach 0.012...
[2016-10-25 14:23:45] Kalman : DangerandPlay: what are you willing to pay?
[2016-10-25 14:24:10] DangerandPlay : i'm just curious.
[2016-10-25 14:24:42] Kalman : it has its price!
[2016-10-25 14:24:43] habibi : DangerandPlay: be careful with eth, it can be still kept high as there is not that far away from pos for eth and there are definitely some big whales in game
[2016-10-25 14:25:25] DangerandPlay : thanks for tip @habibi
[2016-10-25 14:28:25] aethlios : habibi: no position on zcash
[2016-10-25 14:29:04] habibi : aethlios: nice, what do u think about capping btc price on all exchanges at 700 so we can short there?
[2016-10-25 14:29:52] aethlios : habibi: so is the same? said remove cap 1 week prior to expiration
[2016-10-25 14:30:15] habibi : why 7 days instead for example 10 and 2 hours?
[2016-10-25 14:31:01] aethlios : let the market adjust to spot
[2016-10-25 14:31:26] Rado : ZEC will be a very nice short after open
[2016-10-25 14:31:48] aethlios : that's why you avoid the "noice" of first month, and traders can increase open positions
[2016-10-25 14:32:21] habibi : aethlios: awsome, why not cap minimum price at 0.5 btc?
[2016-10-25 14:32:53] habibi : if u want to avoid anything just don't trade it ffs
[2016-10-25 14:34:01] aethlios : cap 1 btc, but just place a cap so shorters can feel safe.
[2016-10-25 14:34:16] habibi : are u serious?
[2016-10-25 14:34:18] Rado : aethlios: you are kidding right?
[2016-10-25 14:34:26] Rado : it's free market man
[2016-10-25 14:34:46] habibi : so longers will take risk but shorters not? u think anyone would buy then
[2016-10-25 14:34:55] Rado : no socialist bullshit trying to control the market
[2016-10-25 14:35:02] aethlios : longs have already a floor zero, shorters don't have a cap
[2016-10-25 14:37:08] habibi : :D

[2016-10-25 14:44:11] laisee : why 0.25 getting hit in ZEC market but 0.249999 still in order book?

[2016-10-25 14:48:38] mjones : why is bitmex hyping ZEC in a blog post
[2016-10-25 14:48:49] laisee : habibi: i must be dumb ... but why matching above displayed order book price?
[2016-10-25 14:48:54] mjones : could be good for more exposure i suppose since they are already trading ZEC

[2016-10-25 14:50:11] habibi : laise watch orderbook

[2016-10-25 14:50:50] habibi : just to show u someone can put sell order after 0.25 got hitted
[2016-10-25 14:51:16] laisee : someone got a call from their broker
[2016-10-25 14:51:37] Rado : FCT is the only shit coin that is green
[2016-10-25 14:51:53] chromaticcr1 : laisee: well in here we only got email instead of call and sms ;)
[2016-10-25 14:53:13] laisee : chromaticcr1: no ticker tape either ... :-(
[2016-10-25 14:54:27] mjones : FCT total supply has been the same for a very long time. mainly in strong hands
[2016-10-25 14:54:44] mjones : when the time comes, that will be a great long
[2016-10-25 14:55:53] laisee : i read the coin name as "FEKT"
[2016-10-25 14:57:19] mjones : well time to go to work. can't play shitcoins any more and will just stay in my btc long
[2016-10-25 14:57:43] mjones : eth trying to bounce

[2016-10-25 15:07:51] Boontjie : Any news on whether we will get a bitcoin future again?
[2016-10-25 15:10:12] Kalman : Boontjie: XBTUSD not fine?!
[2016-10-25 15:19:16] Boontjie : Its a swap. I just want to long and sleep, no funding
[2016-10-25 15:19:35] REKT : Liquidated long on `ETHXBT`: Sell 1581 @ 0.01699
[2016-10-25 15:19:39] martinium : the cash flow payments aka funding on swaps can be a killer
[2016-10-25 15:19:49] martinium : Boontjie: I kind of agree with you
[2016-10-25 15:20:16] martinium : Boontjie: but the fact it's perpetual also helps compared to futures that might expire at an inconvenient time
[2016-10-25 15:20:31] Boontjie : Sure, but I would get out before
[2016-10-25 15:20:55] Boontjie : I may then go over to the swap for a short while till it settled
[2016-10-25 15:20:58] Kalman : Boontjie: future isn't for free either
[2016-10-25 15:21:01] wurstgelee : why not keep perpetual and add quarterlies as futures again?
[2016-10-25 15:21:08] wurstgelee : doesnt have to be either or
[2016-10-25 15:21:30] Boontjie : wurstgelee: This is what I am going for
[2016-10-25 15:21:48] wurstgelee : there no downside imo.
[2016-10-25 15:21:59] wurstgelee : *is
[2016-10-25 15:22:06] Boontjie : wurstgelee: You spread the liquidity, the only downside
[2016-10-25 15:22:17] Boontjie : And mark price shenanigans
[2016-10-25 15:22:19] kogroken : liquidity will be worse in both
[2016-10-25 15:23:01] wurstgelee : now u spread liquidity with JPY futures....
[2016-10-25 15:23:03] Kalman : kogroken: a wide spread mey attract market makers
[2016-10-25 15:23:14] Kalman : *may
[2016-10-25 15:23:57] wurstgelee : sooner or later, people who want xbtusd-based futures will move or have to move
[2016-10-25 15:24:04] wurstgelee : if things stay the way they are
[2016-10-25 15:24:22] wurstgelee : doesnt help with liquidity as well...
[2016-10-25 15:26:58] wurstgelee : on a sidenote: thank you eth, keep on dying
