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

[2016-10-31 02:27:13] Coach_Z : rapidtrades: every day more ZEC coins are mined than the previous day, but demand doesn't increase when the price falls 80% each day.
[2016-10-31 02:27:43] rapidtrades : tnx for ur shitty opinion
[2016-10-31 02:27:52] RocketScience : put a good buywall and i shall drop this burden on you :D

[2016-10-31 02:31:09] rapidtrades : Rado: gee tnx
[2016-10-31 02:31:39] Rado : It's so simple to trade BTC
[2016-10-31 02:31:44] Rado : buy every dip
[2016-10-31 02:31:54] martinium : man Seg Wit going to send BTC to moon
[2016-10-31 02:32:13] martinium : or if BTCU forks either way its a win for BTC and more upside
[2016-10-31 02:32:18] jordanbitfort : i thought ViaBTC is blocking segwit?
[2016-10-31 02:32:41] martinium : they are on BTCU
[2016-10-31 02:32:54] RocketScience : Rado: I bought the "dip" before the blackhole
[2016-10-31 02:33:08] martinium : my preference is everyone run BTCU to go on with original vision for btc
[2016-10-31 02:33:20] martinium : but we will see if miners indeed support t or not
[2016-10-31 02:33:30] RocketScience : segwit is the test
[2016-10-31 02:33:35] iefken : hard forks are selden good
[2016-10-31 02:33:37] jordanbitfort : martinium: ok but how is it a win for BTC to split into 2 chains? Could cause a big dump like eth/etc
[2016-10-31 02:33:57] martinium : jordanbitfort: miners would go on to main winning chain
[2016-10-31 02:34:05] RocketScience : btc fork will double our coins like Ruja doubles your onecoins hehe
[2016-10-31 02:34:14] martinium : more trnsactions being handled will be the end result
[2016-10-31 02:34:23] martinium : so a big plus for BTC price
[2016-10-31 02:34:37] martinium : nah it wont double coins
[2016-10-31 02:34:54] martinium : losing fork will just become invalid for anything mined
[2016-10-31 02:34:59] martinium : since it wont be the main chain
[2016-10-31 02:35:20] rapidtrades : i'd like to get double coins
[2016-10-31 02:35:49] martinium : don't think it'll happen but if it does could be cool
[2016-10-31 02:36:03] martinium : extra money before losing chain becomes worthless
[2016-10-31 02:36:03] RocketScience : but some people can keep it alive like etc
[2016-10-31 02:36:13] martinium : not enough to be meaningful
[2016-10-31 02:36:20] rapidtrades : we're gonna need a couple of retarded devs for that to happen
[2016-10-31 02:36:23] RocketScience : explain to laymen why there are 2 bitcoins now... xD
[2016-10-31 02:36:31] jordanbitfort : go to the woodchipper and ask them to add bitcoin classic ;^)
[2016-10-31 02:36:32] rapidtrades : maybe we can borrow VitaLik and his gang
[2016-10-31 02:36:47] RocketScience : i blame woodchipper for the dump
[2016-10-31 02:39:31] rapidtrades : did u see that .65 print
[2016-10-31 02:39:40] martinium : dump happened on most exchanges I checked
[2016-10-31 02:39:44] martinium : bots are syced
[2016-10-31 02:39:47] martinium : synced*
[2016-10-31 02:40:15] RocketScience : basically i went through mental hell and came back with 0.1 btc profit
[2016-10-31 02:40:39] RocketScience : i don't have 1 nerve left so i had to sell it all on break even ^^
[2016-10-31 02:40:43] rapidtrades : look at how volatile this shit is

[2016-10-31 02:42:24] RocketScience : i love btc and it wants to kill me :(
[2016-10-31 02:42:25] rapidtrades : oh no it fell 3%
[2016-10-31 02:42:29] rapidtrades : whi gives a shit
[2016-10-31 02:42:31] chromaticcr1 : yeah and spot is lower than 3 now so perhaps you got stabbed by polo finex and every exchange that lists zec
[2016-10-31 02:42:49] rapidtrades : chromaticcr1: my god ur f*cked in the head aren't u
[2016-10-31 02:43:19] RocketScience : i trade with 25...70x leverage..it's so intense
[2016-10-31 02:43:29] RocketScience : gotta temper my greed
[2016-10-31 02:43:30] chromaticcr1 : and miners who are pushing supplies to the market too, yeah... forgot that one
[2016-10-31 02:43:43] rapidtrades : i don't give a shit
[2016-10-31 02:43:47] rapidtrades : and ur dumb
[2016-10-31 02:44:29] RocketScience : how much do you leverage?
[2016-10-31 02:44:31] chromaticcr1 : dumb enough to take position agaist you
[2016-10-31 02:44:48] jordanbitfort : masterful trolling rapidtrades. or should i say, skankhunt42
[2016-10-31 02:44:49] rapidtrades : yeah keep doing that and see how u end up
[2016-10-31 02:44:57] rapidtrades : chromaticcr1: bailout boy
[2016-10-31 02:47:30] Rado : RocketScience: it's not about leverage
[2016-10-31 02:48:05] Rado : I am always at 100x, but my position size is small compared to my total account holdings. Also I have a stop order for every position.
[2016-10-31 02:48:29] Rado : So for me leverage doesn't really matter
[2016-10-31 02:49:58] Rado : for example the liquidation price on my XBTZ16 trade is 221.70
[2016-10-31 02:50:04] Rado : but I have a stop at 713
[2016-10-31 02:50:25] Rado : so I will never be liquidated
[2016-10-31 02:50:43] martinium : Rado: your effective leverage use is less that the full 100x thats what that means
[2016-10-31 02:50:54] martinium : most new traders mess up and go balls to the wall every trade
[2016-10-31 02:51:09] martinium : their balance * 100
[2016-10-31 02:51:16] Rado : martinium: that's a sure way to blow your account
[2016-10-31 02:51:16] martinium : then get liquidated
[2016-10-31 02:51:22] martinium : yep
[2016-10-31 02:51:29] rapidtrades : except on ZEC
[2016-10-31 02:51:32] martinium : lol
[2016-10-31 02:51:38] rapidtrades : there they get a bailout and a cap
[2016-10-31 02:53:49] rapidtrades : a wise old man once said 'Live long enough and you'll get screwed in one thousand ways'
[2016-10-31 03:04:55] RocketScience : let him who has wisdom count the number of rapid trades
[2016-10-31 03:05:07] RocketScience : needed to become rich
[2016-10-31 03:05:36] RocketScience : -John's revelation xD
[2016-10-31 03:11:19] RocketScience : martinium: That would be me. hehe
[2016-10-31 03:12:21] RocketScience : i learned my lesson tonight
[2016-10-31 03:12:58] rapidtrades : RocketScience: how much did u lose?
[2016-10-31 03:13:28] RocketScience : I had liq price at 676...and entry 984
[2016-10-31 03:13:38] RocketScience : 694*
[2016-10-31 03:14:04] RocketScience : i actually sold at 697 then :P
[2016-10-31 03:15:11] RocketScience : a little profit not worth the stress...it's 4.10am and i am still full of adrenaline, don't care about sleep
[2016-10-31 03:16:42] RocketScience : Good night grumpytrades :)
[2016-10-31 03:16:59] rapidtrades : good night :)
[2016-10-31 03:27:26] javierstone : so if i wanna go long and leverage and place a trade but want to put in a safety net of a stop do i do that in another trade or using a stop limit?
[2016-10-31 03:30:35] Rado : javierstone: I would use Stop Market
[2016-10-31 03:30:39] Rado : not Stop Limit
[2016-10-31 03:33:15] javierstone : gotcha
[2016-10-31 03:33:43] sabbybibi : oh good i'm glad you're there rado if you know about these things..... how do *any* of the stops (market, limit, trailing) guarantee anything? i mean, you're placing an opposite (unwinding) order into the book - but if no-one's interested, it'll just cascade v. unfavorably to you, esp. "market"!
[2016-10-31 03:33:59] sabbybibi : (or not execute at all!)
[2016-10-31 03:34:24] sabbybibi : ...or am i misunderstanding something??
[2016-10-31 03:36:30] sabbybibi : like, if i go long @700, and i try to "stop" at 690, well, that means i'm trying to *sell* at 690 (to unwind my buy)... but if no -one's interested, i *don't* sell at 690... and if i sell as "market", i could end up selling down to 680, 670...
[2016-10-31 03:36:42] sabbybibi : basically i don't get how it can "stop" reliably at all!
[2016-10-31 03:36:52] sabbybibi : sorry if these are stupid questions hehehehe
[2016-10-31 03:36:58] joequant : It helps to do this if you are in Asia time. I'm expecting another drop in about half an hour.
[2016-10-31 03:38:04] sabbybibi : (my example numbers are not meant as comments on the market right now, just "easy arithmetic" example numbers)
[2016-10-31 03:42:37] miramm1115 : sabbybibi: stop limit guarantees the price but might not execute at all, it will just place an order on the orderbook. stop market guarantees execution but doesn't guarantee the price
[2016-10-31 03:43:49] miramm1115 : for smaller position stop market is ok, you will have some slippage but the orderbook on XBTUSD has enough orders to catch your stop market
[2016-10-31 03:43:50] sabbybibi : so... they don't guarantee non-liquidation? (rado @02.50[utc] msg above speaks of "so I will never be liquidated")
[2016-10-31 03:44:38] sabbybibi : (but that non-liq "guarantee" may not be true in a thin order book surely?)
[2016-10-31 03:44:40] miramm1115 : if you use stop market you will not get liqiudated
[2016-10-31 03:44:48] CrazyEarner : Well so much for the zcash craze looks like the highs finished and the lows only jsut begining lol
[2016-10-31 03:45:00] miramm1115 : you might get worse price if the orderbook is really thin
[2016-10-31 03:45:42] sabbybibi : miramm1115: ...but in a thin order book, the "worse" price might be *so* "worse" as to go past your liq price surely!
[2016-10-31 03:46:03] sabbybibi : (sorry if i'm not getting it lol - noob here :D)
[2016-10-31 03:46:28] DangerandPlay : so what the FUCK happened to zcash???
[2016-10-31 03:47:15] CrazyEarner : Simple people just 10000% dumped on it and killed the price no doubt pump dump with bots
[2016-10-31 03:48:18] DangerandPlay : :( lost a lot of money
[2016-10-31 03:48:57] miramm1115 : yes, execution price on stop market can be worse than liq price theoretically but you will not lose maintenance margin @sabbybibi
[2016-10-31 03:49:00] CrazyEarner : I would of gone short on site at begining but bought gpu instead lol
[2016-10-31 03:49:37] sabbybibi : miramm1115: i'm trading zec just now - maybe as a noob i shouldn't but you gotta learn by doing
[2016-10-31 03:50:05] public username 321 : best is to not get liquidated at all ...
[2016-10-31 03:50:09] sabbybibi : order book is v. thin, so far i've just usec "limit" but you're recommending "stop market"?
[2016-10-31 03:54:45] sabbybibi : the way i see things in ZEC-land is this: 0.24 is absurdly high *as a Dec.30th opinion*
[2016-10-31 03:55:50] sabbybibi : DEc.30th will be full-strength mining reward, and 0.24 would mean ZEC miners would be throwing (almost) the same amount of real resource consumption at ZEC as bitcoin miners are throwing at bitcoin!
[2016-10-31 03:56:03] sabbybibi : not credible, i think!
[2016-10-31 03:56:42] sabbybibi : so... since we're trading NOW on our opinions of DEC30th, we should regard 0.24 for THEN to be ridiculously high
[2016-10-31 03:57:03] iefken : cant we have some profit on the way?
[2016-10-31 03:57:29] sabbybibi : so, i'm shorting... but the order book is so thin, and the price moves are so huge, that liquidation is a huge possibility on the journey between now and Dec.30th!
[2016-10-31 03:58:07] iefken : true :p
[2016-10-31 04:51:58] Mm bot : How to short ZEC ? Garenteed profit in December
[2016-10-31 05:08:48] miramm1115 : sabbybibi: stop orders on zec won't save you
[2016-10-31 05:10:20] coinrun : When is bitmex going to price mark Polo?
[2016-10-31 05:10:34] sabbybibi : miramm1115: yeah, that's what i thought
[2016-10-31 05:18:18] Chronuslll : whats the avaerage margin you use?
[2016-10-31 05:22:38] sabbybibi : Chronuslll: (on zec which is v. risky) about 1.0x (shorting)
[2016-10-31 05:25:01] sabbybibi : ...actually, i thunk the main thing making ZEC so illiquid on bitmex is the units of 1 zec each, which used to be small but is now huge
[2016-10-31 05:25:19] sabbybibi : if we could change to milliZEC we'd have a much more lively market!
[2016-10-31 05:25:54] Chronuslll : hmm what about xbt
[2016-10-31 05:26:05] sabbybibi : (or just change from integers to real numbers)
[2016-10-31 05:26:54] sabbybibi : well, the btc/usd market is listed in usd even though it's all really made of btc
[2016-10-31 05:27:06] sabbybibi : so the integer arithmetic doesn't really cause problems
[2016-10-31 05:27:33] sabbybibi : but the btc<->zec market, wow, integers are hopelessly coarse grained whether listed in btc or zec!
[2016-10-31 05:27:53] sabbybibi : roll on milliZEC please bitmex!!!
[2016-10-31 05:28:08] DangerandPlay : i had really high hopes for mining zcash and bought some rigs... getting about 200 sols/hour now and mining a pitiful amount. Just give in????
[2016-10-31 05:28:18] DangerandPlay : 200 sols/sec
[2016-10-31 05:29:30] sabbybibi : DangerandPlay: 200 sols/sec is about a ten-thousandth of the entire network, so you should earn about 0.05zec/day
[2016-10-31 05:29:56] sabbybibi : that's tens of dollars a day, if you're earning less than that something is misconfigured!
[2016-10-31 05:30:03] sabbybibi : (hardware and/or software)
[2016-10-31 05:30:14] DangerandPlay : we're making that but still seems pathetic.............
[2016-10-31 05:30:27] DangerandPlay : pathetic considering the outlay and electricity costs
[2016-10-31 05:30:56] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: what is the production cost for zcash using efficient method?
[2016-10-31 05:31:22] sabbybibi : DangerandPlay: what's your wattage??
[2016-10-31 05:31:23] arbitrage001 : Return of investment on mining so to speak
[2016-10-31 05:32:06] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: 1 "sol" costs about 5-10 joules (a few millionths of a "unit"[kWh] of retail electricity bill jargon terms)
[2016-10-31 05:32:31] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: in dollar term?
[2016-10-31 05:32:56] sabbybibi : so at the moment, everybody should be making several hundred percent profit - not yet competed away by difficulty rises!
[2016-10-31 05:33:01] arbitrage001 : what is the break even point on zcash price, i mean
[2016-10-31 05:33:15] arbitrage001 : i see
[2016-10-31 05:33:23] arbitrage001 : miner profiting a lot now?
[2016-10-31 05:33:31] sabbybibi : (in dollar terms depends on your electricity company but a few times 10-to-the-minus-7 dollars per "sol" would be typical)
[2016-10-31 05:34:21] sabbybibi : (i'm ignoring capital costs ads many people already have the graphics cards, either for game-playing or ethereum mining...)
[2016-10-31 05:34:22] arbitrage001 : someone was mentioning zcash has to stay above 0.5 for miner to be profit
[2016-10-31 05:34:35] arbitrage001 : is this the same fig you have?
[2016-10-31 05:35:10] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: i think they must be including capital costs of cards, but of course you DON'T include that when deciding "do i switch my rig ON or OFF?"
[2016-10-31 05:35:54] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: well, miners have been losing money since bitcoin asic came out
[2016-10-31 05:36:10] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: i'm not mining at all, just interested in the economics so i've recently been doing a lot of detailed calculations (to try and predict difficulty vs.price, that sort of thing)
[2016-10-31 05:37:00] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: yeah in the long run many people will lose... but right now, too few people have joined in to "compete away" the profits!
[2016-10-31 05:37:10] sabbybibi : (on zec i mean - not on btc lol)
[2016-10-31 05:37:28] arbitrage001 : the price you see here on zcash
[2016-10-31 05:37:40] arbitrage001 : is it too high or too low from miner view?
[2016-10-31 05:37:46] sabbybibi : no no the price *here* is a dec.30th prediction
[2016-10-31 05:38:03] arbitrage001 : would you continue mining at this price?
[2016-10-31 05:38:10] sabbybibi : the *current* price (on say polo) is still very good for miners' profitability!
[2016-10-31 05:38:35] arbitrage001 : assuming capital cost is zero?
[2016-10-31 05:38:52] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: but speaking of the dec.30th predicted price - the current prediction of 0.288 is UTTERLY BIZARRE
[2016-10-31 05:39:06] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: in which way?
[2016-10-31 05:39:10] arbitrage001 : too high still?
[2016-10-31 05:39:47] sabbybibi : if it was REALLY TRUE that zec = 0.288 btc in late december........ then the real resource (electricity etc) usage of ZEC would EQUAL THE WHOLE OF BITCOIN'S!!!
[2016-10-31 05:40:09] arbitrage001 : i see
[2016-10-31 05:40:09] sabbybibi : i can't honestly see that happening by late december, or maybe ever!
[2016-10-31 05:40:29] sabbybibi : a tenth the current prediction would be more reasonable in my opinion
[2016-10-31 05:40:51] sabbybibi : so, i'm shorting - but the order book is so thin, i may be liquidated in a temporary reversal!
[2016-10-31 05:41:04] sabbybibi : (or by being wrong even at dec.30th of course lol)
[2016-10-31 05:41:34] arbitrage001 : so people buying at this price is stupid?
[2016-10-31 05:42:04] jose : not if you think you can resell it before it goes to oblivion
[2016-10-31 05:42:11] sabbybibi : well, i never like to call any of my fellow traders stupid - let's just say we have a difference of opinion :D
[2016-10-31 05:43:29] sabbybibi : jose: yeah i could keep reselling but it drains my precious btc to keep doing that on every upswing
[2016-10-31 05:43:57] sabbybibi : i think the swings would be less if we had millizec as trading integer unit rather than zec! zec is just too huge and chunky now!
[2016-10-31 05:44:20] sabbybibi : millizec would give a more liquid, lively market! how abnout it bitmex?!
[2016-10-31 05:44:38] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: you can sell on polo as you get the coin
[2016-10-31 05:44:45] arbitrage001 : much higher price anyway
[2016-10-31 05:45:42] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: i'm not handling physical zec at all, i haven't even downloaded the linux software yet - i'm just trading the future here on mex
[2016-10-31 05:46:34] arbitrage001 : i see
[2016-10-31 05:46:39] sabbybibi : i do intend to handle some physical zec, practice its mixing tech, get to know its usage - but not yet!
[2016-10-31 05:46:44] arbitrage001 : thought you are currently mining
[2016-10-31 05:47:07] arbitrage001 : was a miner myself
[2016-10-31 05:47:19] arbitrage001 : a great waste of time in my opinion
[2016-10-31 05:47:27] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: no, i'm a "cold-liking", "heat-hating" person, and i wouldn't want a lot of mining gear where i live!
[2016-10-31 05:47:29] arbitrage001 : too much hassle and reward is too little
[2016-10-31 05:47:51] jose : ZEC is not mixing, there is nothing to mix, because you dont see anything. It is just a blackbox
[2016-10-31 05:47:59] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: what did you mine? btc with asic? eth with gpu?
[2016-10-31 05:48:12] arbitrage001 : btc and litecoin
[2016-10-31 05:48:20] arbitrage001 : before all the alt coin booms
[2016-10-31 05:48:35] arbitrage001 : so went thru a few boom bust cycle here
[2016-10-31 05:48:52] sabbybibi : jose: yeah what i mean is do some btc->zec->btc, e.g. thru shapeshift, and study both blockchains too judge quality of anonymity against timing analysis etc etc...
[2016-10-31 05:49:35] sabbybibi : jose: that's what i intend to do, but so far i'm not handling real zec at all - just bitmex futures!
[2016-10-31 05:49:37] shiroe : zec, easiest money so far
[2016-10-31 05:50:02] Anon39 : yeah
[2016-10-31 05:50:06] arbitrage001 : shiroe: are you short? close the position yet?
[2016-10-31 05:50:15] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: oh wow you were an early miner! i hope you kept a lot of your coins.....
[2016-10-31 05:50:28] arbitrage001 : profit is only real if you close your position
[2016-10-31 05:50:39] arbitrage001 : paper profit is pretty meaningless
[2016-10-31 05:51:20] Anon39 : i think 0.3 is a good short entry point
[2016-10-31 05:51:24] shiroe : arbitrage001: someone sold on my buy order from 4. 0.4 to 7, then 4 to 0.23
[2016-10-31 05:51:49] shiroe : lucky for those who shorted at 10. woo
[2016-10-31 05:52:16] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: most early miners lose money
[2016-10-31 05:52:32] sabbybibi : arbitrage001: oh well :(
[2016-10-31 05:52:46] arbitrage001 : sabbybibi: only horders who buy from market benefit
[2016-10-31 05:53:54] sabbybibi : actually in zec's case even holders may not benefit, cos if the main usage is btc->zec->btc mixing, then the amount (held by people partway thru doing that) will be roughly constant in say dollar terms, but the number of zec remorselessly increases
[2016-10-31 05:54:49] sabbybibi : (people doing mixing don't mind a falling trend - to them it's just another mixing fee - but hodlers of course don't want a falling trend!)
[2016-10-31 05:55:26] Anon39 : obv zec holder are losing money, supply il 1k coin and is going to be 200k coin in 2 month

[2016-10-31 06:03:30] arbitrage001 : over leverage syndrome? lol
[2016-10-31 06:03:44] chromaticcr1 : I guess he will be awake whenever things about the cap is mentioned
[2016-10-31 06:03:56] arbitrage001 : cap cap
[2016-10-31 06:03:57] arbitrage001 : cap
[2016-10-31 06:04:06] arbitrage001 : is he long or short
[2016-10-31 06:04:12] lockhedge : sabbybibi: fully agree, but high transaction costs (fees, spread, volatility) as a direct result of low supply/liquidity will make zcash a very expensive btc->zec->btc mixing service. so even that use case will be limited.
[2016-10-31 06:04:15] chromaticcr1 : long @3BTC
[2016-10-31 06:04:22] chromaticcr1 : and he is still holding it...

[2016-10-31 06:05:15] chromaticcr1 : not even spot could go back up >1
[2016-10-31 06:05:29] arbitrage001 : he went all in ?
[2016-10-31 06:05:31] arbitrage001 : show hand?
[2016-10-31 06:05:40] chromaticcr1 : prob not.. not sure
[2016-10-31 06:06:08] sabbybibi : lockhedge: well... what i'm getting at is: the *technical* quality of the mixing is far higher than with xmr, coinjoin, etc etc - it ought to be essentially perfect so long as you don't try and do it absurdly quickly - so, some people may be willing to pay higher costs for higher quality
[2016-10-31 06:06:08] Anon39 : chromaticcr1: are you talking about zec long@3 btc?
[2016-10-31 06:06:18] arbitrage001 : miners here alrealdy mention 0.3 is good short
[2016-10-31 06:16:06] aethlios : btc strong above 700
[2016-10-31 06:16:24] aethlios : a rally to test 800 soon this week
[2016-10-31 06:25:14] lockhedge : sabbybibi: the technical quality is great, but pretty worthless without liquidity. if it is not broadly adopted and would be mainly used as high cost/quality mixing service, touching zec actually means flagging your funds as "i'm a money launderer".
[2016-10-31 06:26:16] sabbybibi : well yeah - i consider myself part of the, uh, PML/DKYC research community :D
[2016-10-31 06:27:56] sabbybibi : ideally i'd like bitcoin itself to grow an opaque sector (i.e. in effect become another zcash) - then we;d have a really liquid, highly-traded, fungible money... fungible meaning every transaction is ipso facto a laundering transaction! no such thing as money-NON-laundering any more!
[2016-10-31 06:37:13] sabbybibi : lockhedge: actually an interesting future cryptocurrency (still vaporware right now) is "Hawk" - it'll have zero-knowledge *smart contracts* - it'll boost ethereum's capabilities the way zcash boosts bitcoin's!
[2016-10-31 06:37:48] sabbybibi : lockhedge: exciting times huh? :)
[2016-10-31 06:38:57] sabbybibi : lockhedge: anyway logging off now... but google hawk crypto if you want a real mind-trip :D
[2016-10-31 06:42:34] aethlios : wait zcash to rally again 3 months before halving
[2016-10-31 06:42:51] aethlios : so in 45 months
[2016-10-31 06:45:00] miramm1115 : Hey lockhedge! Do you know exactly how LastPriceProtected marking works?
[2016-10-31 06:49:38] lockhedge : miramm1115: not exactly, don't know what is meant by "previously-calculated Mark Price" https://blog.bitmex.com/site_announcement/a-note-on-xbj-price-anomalies/
[2016-10-31 06:52:54] miramm1115 : lockhedge: thanks, I think I get it.
[2016-10-31 06:53:42] miramm1115 : I remember reading description but forgot it was in the announcement, thanks
[2016-10-31 06:54:06] lockhedge : miramm1115: how often is the mark price calculated?
[2016-10-31 06:54:57] miramm1115 : lockhedge: looks like it's updated on each trade
[2016-10-31 07:12:27] aethlios : zec 853 volume polo, I guess we are 2 or 3 days away from market to index
[2016-10-31 07:16:43] cryptowolf : hello
[2016-10-31 07:24:19] chromaticcr1 : aethlios: rapid's dream come true, except when the basis adjusted price is even lower than what we have on last price now
[2016-10-31 07:31:48] lockhedge : chromaticcr1: the basis is normally calculated using the impact mid price. i never understood why he thought that it will change a lot
[2016-10-31 07:59:25] sally : so basically when bitmex decide to do this, they buy up on insider info and then profit?
[2016-10-31 08:06:07] REKT : Liquidated short on `XBJ7D`: Buy 500 @ 74398
[2016-10-31 08:42:42] NL007 : hi
[2016-10-31 08:43:46] sally : so now the zec contract is a speculation of when they will do this? LOL
[2016-10-31 08:44:09] rapidtrades : pretty much
[2016-10-31 08:44:16] Tetsuo : pump failed
[2016-10-31 08:45:14] rapidtrades : 24hr Volume: 809.46402860 BTC / 818.61440704 ZEC
[2016-10-31 08:45:27] rapidtrades : volume per BTC keeps going down
[2016-10-31 08:45:56] NL007 : 1276 ZEC mined
[2016-10-31 08:46:43] rapidtrades : it's now down to 5th on polo
[2016-10-31 08:47:24] NL007 : we could see small pumps 10-20% and fall back
[2016-10-31 08:47:47] rapidtrades : yeah good luck woth that
[2016-10-31 08:48:01] y1uy : Is anyone having issues with bitmex positions? I keep on receiving the wrong profits.. sold zcash at 260, was suppose to get .17 profit, only got .11.. ?
[2016-10-31 08:48:23] NL007 : problem with zec is that a sell of 10-15 zec crashes pump
[2016-10-31 08:48:33] y1uy : It was 2zec
[2016-10-31 08:48:43] y1uy : and it was close price, not mark
[2016-10-31 08:49:09] Boontjie : y1uy: look at trade history
[2016-10-31 08:50:43] NL007 : i think many got REKT by the btc small crash
[2016-10-31 08:52:46] rapidtrades : i think i need to go back to bed
[2016-10-31 08:53:05] NL007 : rapidtrades: ok
[2016-10-31 09:07:28] BitMEX_Jinming : y1uy: Please let us know what question you have. You can send details to support@bitmex.com

[2016-10-31 09:44:12] lopol : So is zec mark price tied to poloniex price at all?
[2016-10-31 09:44:27] aethlios : wurstgelee: aren't you who told me to withdraw the order to 0.2 for zcash?
