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

[2015-01-22 02:04:54] BitMEX_Arthur : that was the best offer at the time you were liquidated
[2015-01-22 04:45:31] dreadpiratedickstein : I think we're about to go flying.
[2015-01-22 05:06:30] gaoMex : A twitter account George Kikvadze who claims he is from Bitfury says a BTC ETF will be launched on Nasdaq in the next 4 weeks.
[2015-01-22 05:38:43] dreadpiratedickstein : wha what?
[2015-01-22 05:38:59] dreadpiratedickstein : what's a bitfury and what's a kikvadze
[2015-01-22 05:49:04] pyontrader : any bitmex people here?
[2015-01-22 06:51:40] BitMEX_Arthur : pyontrader: hi
[2015-01-22 06:51:43] BitMEX_Arthur : how can i help
[2015-01-22 06:52:01] pyontrader : i was wondering why the XBT march bid was at 270
[2015-01-22 06:52:18] pyontrader : seems like high premium. where is your market maker?
[2015-01-22 06:53:10] BitMEX_Arthur : if you think it's high sell into the market
[2015-01-22 06:53:19] pyontrader : i already did. 26500 contracts
[2015-01-22 08:10:42] null : Im getting 'Exchange suspended' when trying to trade
[2015-01-22 08:10:51] null : whats going on?
[2015-01-22 08:14:27] BitMEX_Sam : null: There was an inconsistency on the DB-side
[2015-01-22 08:14:29] BitMEX_Sam : investigating now
[2015-01-22 08:14:37] BitMEX_Sam : We will let you know when the exchange is unsuspended
[2015-01-22 08:16:17] pyontrader : a notification at the top of the site would be good so we know
[2015-01-22 08:16:32] pyontrader : when the exchange is working or not
[2015-01-22 08:17:17] BitMEX_Arthur : feedback noted
[2015-01-22 08:17:57] BitMEX_Sam : Really sorry for the inconvenience, this is the first time this has happened - it's a safety mechanism that ensures damage doesn't propagate if there are any inconsistencies
[2015-01-22 08:21:17] BitMEX_Sam : We are back, will get back to you all in a moment with a postmortem
[2015-01-22 08:30:29] j8 : its probably because of that guy making his username "null"
[2015-01-22 08:30:46] BitMEX_Sam : :) He's been here a while
[2015-01-22 09:02:30] BitMEX_Sam : Traders: Wrote up a small summary of what happened. It will show up in the announcements box shortly. https://blog.bitmex.com/site_announcement/bitmex-downtime-postmortem/
[2015-01-22 09:03:31] BitMEX_Sam : Long story short; very temporary blockchain data inconsistency, we erred on the side of safety and suspended until we could figure it out. Deposits are fine, trading is fine, and we're working to ensure such an inconsistency is real before suspending again.
[2015-01-22 09:03:46] pyontrader : nice work
[2015-01-22 09:05:08] rhk : fwiw i've seen something similar when using the blockchain.info API
[2015-01-22 09:06:01] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah, it happens more often than I'm comfortable with. The only way to use them well IMO is to require consensus between multiple external providers and your own full node.

[2015-01-25 10:14:11] rhk : i think its trying to communicate
[2015-01-25 14:45:43] BitMEX_Sam : Another attempt to find XSS in the chat box... Not going to happen
[2015-01-25 21:19:38] floopfloop : ^ hehehe
[2015-01-26 03:19:59] TrevinHofmann : I'm doing very well today :)
[2015-01-26 03:20:43] TrevinHofmann : And we're about to high the LimitUpPrice via actual market movement (as opposed to manipulation of a thin orderbook) if it keeps going.
[2015-01-26 07:38:42] null : suppose I'm long 1000 contracts on January 30th futures, what happens to them when they expire? At what price do I get liquidated?
[2015-01-26 07:39:44] BitMEX_Arthur : The 10:00 - 12:00 GMT 1 minute TWAP price
[2015-01-26 07:39:45] BitMEX_Arthur : on Bitfinex
[2015-01-26 07:48:04] null : awesome, thanks
[2015-01-26 08:51:49] null : how does the unrelized PNL get calculated? is that based on bitfinex index too?
[2015-01-26 08:52:34] null : or is it last trade or highest bid/ask?
[2015-01-26 08:52:45] BitMEX_Arthur : we use last traded price
[2015-01-26 09:06:53] null : I was thinking about your situation, and I've got an idea. Have you guys considered getting acquired by one of established exchanges. eg Bitstamp. They really need to tap into the futures/options markets, and you guys are pros in this area. Also, since they have thousands of AML verified users, you would have a much easier time introducing USD based products.
[2015-01-26 10:15:41] BitMEX_Arthur : we are rolling out BitMEX Software as a Service
[2015-01-26 10:15:57] BitMEX_Arthur : so we will be approaching all the largest exchanges about offering our derivatives
[2015-01-26 17:23:21] null : I wish you good luck with that. Have you approached them already? Do you know if any are interested?
[2015-01-26 17:24:12] null : also, does this mean that you're giving up on bitmex as a standalone platform?
[2015-01-27 00:36:05] BitMEX_Arthur : no it just means that other exchanges can hook into ur liquidity pool
[2015-01-27 10:26:47] pyontrader : withdrawals only processed once a day?!? :(
[2015-01-27 10:34:11] BitMEX_Arthur : pyontrader: it is once a day because we do them manually
[2015-01-27 10:34:54] BitMEX_Arthur : and everything is multi-sig
[2015-01-27 10:35:12] pyontrader : this is what i do for my site. 1% on a hotwallet for automatic processing. the rest go into pending queue and wait for manual check and refill of hotwallet
[2015-01-27 10:36:06] BitMEX_Arthur : we will be implementing a partial hot wallet in the near future, but for now everything is manual once daily
[2015-01-27 10:36:34] pyontrader : k thx
[2015-01-27 10:36:35] Yumi : Im for sure waiting more than 24hrs already for my withdraw
[2015-01-27 10:38:13] pyontrader : i would say someone should check the pending queue twice a day at least. bitcoiners are notoriously impatient for their transfers
[2015-01-27 10:42:51] BitMEX_Arthur : pyontrader: we take a very conservative approach, in the way we handle customer funds, we don't want to rush and end up like Bitstamp
[2015-01-27 14:32:21] rhk : what time of day do you normally process them?
[2015-01-27 14:33:34] BitMEX_Wally : rhk: We start processing them at 12:00 UTC each day
[2015-01-27 14:33:38] BitMEX_Wally : (8pm Hong Kong time)
[2015-01-27 17:34:13] aabtc : hello new friends :)
[2015-01-27 17:42:45] victorteoh90 : booo

[2015-01-27 18:28:55] jebus911 : So, when I send you bitcoins, where do they go?
[2015-01-27 18:29:58] whalepanda : The Josh Garza rescue funds.

[2015-01-27 19:12:38] whalepanda : BitMEX - Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange is a cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform. BitMEX is wholly owned by HDR Global Trading Limited, a Republic of Seychelles incorporated entity.
[2015-01-27 19:12:41] whalepanda : hmm
[2015-01-27 19:12:52] whalepanda : apparently seychelles not even hong kong

[2015-01-28 04:30:02] BitMEX_Wally : otiose_tortoise: Check out the API documentation https://www.bitmex.com/api/explorer/
[2015-01-28 04:31:20] BitMEX_Wally : Let me find the exact API call you want...
[2015-01-28 04:33:00] otiose_tortoise : I can't seem to find it in the explorer
[2015-01-28 04:33:04] otiose_tortoise : i looked
[2015-01-28 04:36:28] BitMEX_Wally : https://www.bitmex.com:443/api/v1/user?access_token=xxxx
[2015-01-28 04:36:49] BitMEX_Wally : Have a look at the margin field
[2015-01-28 04:38:15] BitMEX_Wally : We need to update the documentation, it's hard to find
[2015-01-28 04:39:15] otiose_tortoise : ah gotcha
[2015-01-28 04:39:32] otiose_tortoise : the fields in the API explorer don't list the margin field
[2015-01-28 04:39:39] BitMEX_Wally : You can subscribe to 'margin' over the WebSocket
[2015-01-28 04:40:03] otiose_tortoise : yeah I think I need to do websocket actually
[2015-01-28 04:40:20] BitMEX_Wally : Yes, there is no need to poll our REST APIs for anything
[2015-01-28 04:40:32] BitMEX_Wally : Unless you're trying to brute force passwords :)
[2015-01-28 04:40:44] otiose_tortoise : don't give me ideas :)
[2015-01-28 04:41:42] otiose_tortoise : let me ask another question: you guys have a market maker for the XBU contracts?
[2015-01-28 04:41:54] otiose_tortoise : prices now seem pretty reasonable, but I've noticed pretty significant discrepancies in the past
[2015-01-28 04:43:51] BitMEX_Wally : Yeah the market maker on XBU covers European and US trading hours
[2015-01-28 04:44:06] BitMEX_Wally : So should be online in a couple of hours
[2015-01-28 04:44:21] BitMEX_Wally : We have a market making programme if you're interested
[2015-01-28 04:44:51] otiose_tortoise : oh they don't put orders in the book?
[2015-01-28 04:45:02] otiose_tortoise : looks like someone is running some kind of market making program right now
[2015-01-28 04:46:21] BitMEX_Arthur : otiose_tortoise: If you ever need a quote either put your request in the troll box or email is and we will try and find you the other side
[2015-01-28 04:47:27] otiose_tortoise : cool cool
[2015-01-28 04:48:09] BitMEX_Wally : Market makers put their orders in the book but pay reduced commissions
[2015-01-28 04:48:23] pyontrader : how much reduced? what kind of volume do we have to do to qualify?
[2015-01-28 04:48:36] otiose_tortoise : my questions exactly
[2015-01-28 04:49:47] BitMEX_Wally : Arthur will reach out to you with details
[2015-01-28 04:51:15] BitMEX_Arthur : Check out XBU the mm is in now
[2015-01-28 04:51:49] otiose_tortoise : dat volume
[2015-01-28 04:52:29] BitMEX_Wally : They quote 150 XBT of risk on either side
[2015-01-28 04:57:13] BitMEX_Arthur : pyontrader: I will message you shortly with more details
[2015-01-28 04:57:33] pyontrader : ok

[2015-01-28 06:44:16] BitMEX_Arthur : allo
[2015-01-28 10:06:54] BitMEX_Sam : Morning everyone
[2015-01-28 10:39:14] Harry931 : do we need to ask for liquidity on the f15-g15 spread?
[2015-01-28 10:41:53] BitMEX_Arthur : Hi are you looking to buy or sell the calendar spread
[2015-01-28 10:43:05] Harry931 : i want to roll my xbtf15 buy over to xbth15
[2015-01-28 10:44:20] Harry931 : so buy
[2015-01-28 10:48:52] BitMEX_Arthur : ok
[2015-01-28 10:48:53] BitMEX_Arthur : second
[2015-01-28 10:49:33] BitMEX_Arthur : should see some offers up there now
[2015-01-28 10:49:41] Harry931 : thanks
[2015-01-28 11:01:01] BitMEX_Arthur : Harry931: if you need anything else pls just ask
[2015-01-28 11:01:02] BitMEX_Arthur : thanks
[2015-01-28 13:36:09] goat : when it says the expiration time, shouldn't it read: XBTF15 is a XBT/USD quanto futures contract. It settles based on the .XBT Index on Jan 30 07:00:00 Local - GMT-05:00.
[2015-01-28 13:36:15] goat : instead of - XBTF15 is a XBT/USD quanto futures contract. It settles based on the .XBT Index on Jan 30 07:00:00 -05:00.
[2015-01-28 13:42:55] BitMEX_Wally : goat: We use the toISOString() method
[2015-01-28 13:43:05] BitMEX_Wally : So it's up to your browser
[2015-01-28 13:43:39] BitMEX_Sam : It's pretty standard, and a replacement for using a time zone name like EST, which may can often be wrong or nonstandard in some browsers
[2015-01-28 13:43:54] goat : Ok sounds good, just checking :)
[2015-01-28 13:55:02] goat : Under the expired positions tab you guys should make a total p/l under the realized column if it isn't too hard
[2015-01-28 13:55:09] goat : that might be useful later in the year to get an idea of your trading
[2015-01-28 14:02:55] BitMEX_Sam : That's a good idea. In beta, for a while, we had 'deposited balance' listed in the Margin table
[2015-01-28 14:03:13] BitMEX_Sam : So you could see your total PNL compared to what you initially deposited. We eventually removed it as the widget was getting too crowded
[2015-01-28 14:08:53] BitMEX_Wally : The total realisedPNL is published by the API, just not shown on the frontend
[2015-01-28 14:09:22] goat : I think that both are good ideas, whenever you guys get to them.. i know you are busy :)
[2015-01-28 16:02:58] Fala_S : Hey Sam, just wanted to say hello and have a good time in Thailand :D Cheers!
[2015-01-28 16:05:21] BitMEX_Sam : Hey Sergiu!
[2015-01-28 16:05:27] BitMEX_Sam : Glad to see you here. Thailand is great but we already all got food poisoning, go figure
[2015-01-28 16:12:37] Fala_S : Yeah, I've heard about it, I know people that also got it last week or so... take care, man!
[2015-01-28 16:14:36] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah, we're doing much better now - thanks, see you around
[2015-01-29 06:06:45] floopfloop : anyone online?
[2015-01-29 06:07:01] floopfloop : what does the points in the calender spread indicate? I can't find it anywhere in the guides
[2015-01-29 06:07:16] BitMEX_Sam : hey Floop, what's up
[2015-01-29 06:10:33] floopfloop : Hey Sam
[2015-01-29 06:10:44] floopfloop : I am back to trying to understand calender spreads
[2015-01-29 06:10:51] floopfloop : I think I am on the last obstacle
[2015-01-29 06:10:55] BitMEX_Arthur : what is the issue
[2015-01-29 06:11:08] floopfloop : What does the number indicate when you buy the spread?
[2015-01-29 06:11:23] BitMEX_Arthur : it indicates the difference between the far month and the near month futures contract
[2015-01-29 06:11:27] floopfloop : like in f-15-g15 there is one for 12.0
[2015-01-29 06:11:57] floopfloop : so if I thought it was going to rise I would buy now and sell later and vice versa?
[2015-01-29 06:12:09] BitMEX_Arthur : it's not a directional bet
[2015-01-29 06:12:18] BitMEX_Arthur : it's a bet on the difference between the two contracrs
[2015-01-29 06:12:29] floopfloop : ahhhh
[2015-01-29 06:13:21] floopfloop : so if I buy at 12, what does that mean? where do I lose/make money?
[2015-01-29 06:13:29] floopfloop : if its over or under 12?
[2015-01-29 06:14:40] BitMEX_Arthur : so say F15 = 100, and G15 = 112 then the spread is +12, if the spread moves up to +13 you would make 1 point per cal spread contract
[2015-01-29 06:18:15] BitMEX_Arthur : so if you have a position in F15 and want to roll that into a position on G15 the calendar spread is useful
[2015-01-29 06:18:20] BitMEX_Arthur : it lessens the cost of trading
[2015-01-29 06:19:02] floopfloop : I gotchya
[2015-01-29 06:19:04] floopfloop : thank you
[2015-01-29 06:19:09] floopfloop : I think I finally understand it
[2015-01-29 06:19:21] floopfloop : you should put that in the guide!
[2015-01-29 06:24:33] Yumi : does BVOL's 30 days period start today?
[2015-01-29 06:25:19] BitMEX_Arthur : yes
[2015-01-29 06:25:52] Yumi : thanks, just making sure
[2015-01-29 06:56:37] floopfloop : I see a bug
[2015-01-29 06:57:08] floopfloop : nm, refreshed fixed

[2015-01-30 12:01:17] BitMEX_Sam : Traders: XBTF15 has just settled at $232.43
[2015-01-30 13:30:55] germanjew : thanks
[2015-01-30 13:44:06] germanjew : Is BitMEX still going to do daily settling futures? will the first ones go live tomorrow?
[2015-01-30 13:44:48] BitMEX_Sam : germanjew: That was our original plan, but we have decided to make some upgrades to how our daily future is settled so that it runs more smoothly into the future
[2015-01-30 13:45:14] BitMEX_Sam : We are shooting for this Monday. We will update everyone over the weekend if it comes sooner/later.
[2015-01-30 13:45:25] germanjew : awesome, thanks :)
[2015-01-30 21:36:34] uiop : that would be sweet if this was an irc channel
[2015-01-30 21:38:58] uiop : also, are options (on futures) something you guys might do (even if this is far off atm) ?
[2015-01-30 21:40:47] uiop : atlasats's option market is deader than dead, and even if it wasn't their strike price increment is $100..
[2015-01-30 21:43:07] uiop : and you have to be 100% covered to write too

[2015-01-31 03:19:50] BitMEX_Sam : uiop: Funny that you mention IRC; that code was live back in the trading games, and we shut it off due to a few minor bugs

[2015-02-01 15:19:28] zsx : hi all
[2015-02-01 15:19:37] BitMEX_Arthur : allo
[2015-02-01 15:19:57] zsx : just checking the timestamp timezone
[2015-02-01 15:20:05] zsx : seems configured to each user
[2015-02-01 15:20:10] BitMEX_Arthur : yes it is
[2015-02-01 15:31:16] BitMEX_Arthur : zsx: how did you find out about us?
[2015-02-01 16:10:11] zsx : r/bitcoinmarkets
[2015-02-01 16:24:24] null : r/bitcoinmarkets too

[2015-02-01 20:11:52] zsx : BitMEX_Arthur: can you check the pending tickets, please?
[2015-02-02 05:07:16] joequant : is the april XBT future going to appear soon?
[2015-02-02 05:25:33] BitMEX_Arthur : joequant: we are going to be shortening the XBT maturities
[2015-02-02 05:25:51] BitMEX_Arthur : so most likely there will only be daily and weekly XBT style futures
[2015-02-02 05:25:56] BitMEX_Arthur : XBU will have the longer dated maturities
[2015-02-02 05:26:19] BitMEX_Arthur : We list our first daily XBU style futures contract tonight at 8pm,
[2015-02-02 06:11:38] BitMEX_Sam : Yep - FYI @all, XBU24H starts trading at 12 GMT. It's already trading on https://testnet.bitmex.com so you can get a feel for it
[2015-02-02 06:12:01] BitMEX_Sam : Similar to the other XBU futures but the contract size is $1, and it settles daily. Fees are much lower as well
[2015-02-02 12:06:26] BitMEX_Arthur : XBU24H is now trading
[2015-02-02 19:36:53] floopfloop : BitMEX_Arthur: wherE?
[2015-02-02 19:37:05] floopfloop : BitMEX_Arthur: nm, found it lol
[2015-02-03 05:03:19] floopfloop : Wish I would have bought more XBTG15 at 67 :(
[2015-02-03 05:03:44] floopfloop : Wish I would have bought more BVOLG15 at 67 :( *
[2015-02-03 05:45:42] joequant : Is there any chart that shows the current XBT volatility?
[2015-02-03 05:46:38] BitMEX_Wally : joequant: No chart yet but the raw data is here https://www.bitmex.com/app/index/.BVOL
[2015-02-03 10:08:00] void : the new 24 hour is a $ fixed model?
[2015-02-03 10:08:03] void : it's great
[2015-02-03 10:08:12] BitMEX_Arthur : yes
[2015-02-03 10:08:14] BitMEX_Arthur : $1 USD
[2015-02-03 10:08:17] BitMEX_Arthur : per contract
[2015-02-03 10:09:29] void : and the commision is different?
[2015-02-03 10:09:43] void : I still see the same commission in the order control.
[2015-02-03 10:09:45] BitMEX_Arthur : yes it's maker / taker 0% / 0.03%
[2015-02-03 10:10:11] BitMEX_Arthur : can you mouseover the commission number, what do you see?
[2015-02-03 10:12:01] void : sorry..
[2015-02-03 10:12:04] void : my mistake
[2015-02-03 10:13:30] void : I like 100USD per contract...
[2015-02-03 10:14:09] BitMEX_Arthur : we reduced the size so it's more flexible for traders who need short term hedges
[2015-02-03 10:15:21] void : As okcoin 100usd per contract bitvc 100RMB(16$) per contract in China mainland
[2015-02-03 10:16:00] BitMEX_Arthur : the XBU quarterly contracts have a $100 value per contract
[2015-02-03 10:51:20] BitMEX_Wally : void: The contract size shouldn't make a difference, just trade more contracts to get the same Gross Value
[2015-02-03 12:16:02] BitMEX_Sam : First daily settlement of XBU24H has just gone through. Keep in mind that if you had a position it has now closed
[2015-02-03 17:58:27] hjfy85 : test
[2015-02-04 00:48:31] gaoMex : How to go to XBU24H page?
[2015-02-04 00:48:57] BitMEX_Arthur : Do you see Daily (24H) link on the dashboard
[2015-02-04 01:06:09] gaoMex : I saw it. Thanks.
[2015-02-04 21:20:14] aabtc : hey quick question about the bvol
[2015-02-04 21:20:44] aabtc : it says its a 30 day average but why does the formula say P = Daily TWAP from 0 to 31 days
[2015-02-04 21:22:36] aabtc : thats 32 days
[2015-02-04 21:39:10] aabtc : nvm got it on excel
[2015-02-04 22:43:10] floopfloop : BVOL going to be at 250 soon
[2015-02-05 00:58:31] uiop : if you guys got on bitcoinwisdom and/or cryptowatch that would give you good exposure (and i wanna watch you guys there myself too)
