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

[2015-01-27 20:47:53] emeraldcrypto : aabtc*
[2015-01-27 20:48:07] emeraldcrypto : he just writes a comprehensive guide and adds the ref. genius
[2015-01-27 23:09:54] BitMEX_Arthur : Hi new users if you have any questions about the platform please ask
[2015-01-28 00:54:07] floopfloop : What exactly is a bitcoin?
[2015-01-28 00:55:02] BitMEX_Wally : floopfloop: It is exactly 100,000,000 Satoshis :)
[2015-01-28 00:55:26] floopfloop : jajajajaja
[2015-01-28 00:55:52] floopfloop : satoshis are future dollar bills
[2015-01-28 01:01:23] BitMEX_Arthur : C.R.E.A.M.
[2015-01-28 01:47:17] floopfloop : Cash rules everything around me?
[2015-01-28 01:47:24] BitMEX_Arthur : yep
[2015-01-28 01:48:02] floopfloop : http://thedailyshow.cc.com/full-episodes/t9gqjo/january-26--2015---julian-castro = epic ness
[2015-01-28 04:22:22] otiose_tortoise : does anyone know how to get available margin via the API?
[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 06:37:46] aabtc : morning all
[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
[2015-01-29 15:42:05] null : test123: tough luck, huh?
[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
[2015-01-30 21:43:20] uiop : and euro options YUK :)
[2015-01-30 21:43:35] uiop : fail^4
[2015-01-30 21:46:48] uiop : oh also that marketmaker example bot code you guys have is handy
[2015-01-30 21:48:27] uiop : if you guys do manage to implem SPAN you would ballas
[2015-01-30 21:48:48] uiop : /me concludes random accumulated comments
[2015-01-30 21:51:18] uiop : forgot to mention, apparently okcoin is gonna have options soon (not sure if they're real options though). ceo mentions it here http://blog.okcoin.com/post/109570662089/okcoin-in-my-words-star-xu
[2015-01-31 00:10:43] yuengling29 : when will will get G15-H15 calendar spreads?
[2015-01-31 00:12:07] BitMEX_Arthur : soon we are justing modifying some internal mapping due to the new daily contract that will be launching next week
[2015-01-31 00:17:00] yuengling29 : ok thank you
[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
[2015-01-31 03:19:55] BitMEX_Sam : I'll fix them and turn it back on again, it was nice to have
[2015-01-31 03:20:19] BitMEX_Sam : options and SPAN are coming later this year
[2015-01-31 03:20:35] uiop : rad
[2015-01-31 06:06:29] STRML : uiop: Hello from IRC

[2015-02-01 07:01:43] STRML : Morning traders

[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 17:20:32] germanjew : cryptocoinsnews
[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)
[2015-02-05 00:59:00] BitMEX_Arthur : uiop: we are working on getting that done
[2015-02-05 01:00:44] uiop : excellent
[2015-02-05 01:29:28] floopfloop : BitMEX_Arthur: it might be nice to have the symbol in the all open orders link to the page in a similar way to the "all open positions". Just my 2cents.
[2015-02-05 01:30:39] BitMEX_Sam : floopfloop: Yeah I see what you mean, would be easy to add
[2015-02-05 01:30:52] floopfloop : Hi Sam!
[2015-02-05 01:31:17] floopfloop : and yeah, I just notice I have to scroll to my positions list to check on the market
[2015-02-05 01:31:49] BitMEX_Sam : sure. you can use the dropdowns up top or the ticker to change instruments as well
[2015-02-05 01:32:28] floopfloop : But I am not that talented yet!
[2015-02-05 01:32:30] floopfloop : lol
[2015-02-05 01:33:25] BitMEX_Sam : :) You can pin the ticker to the top of the screen so it follows you as you scroll
[2015-02-05 01:37:14] floopfloop : I did not notice that
[2015-02-05 01:37:16] floopfloop : that is very nice
[2015-02-05 04:08:50] BitMEX_Sam : floopfloop: What can I say, you inspire me
[2015-02-05 04:08:58] BitMEX_Sam : Refresh, open order symbols are now clickable
[2015-02-05 08:13:55] floopfloop : BitMEX_Sam: Very nice :)
[2015-02-05 08:58:02] floopfloop : is anyone elses navigation a bit slow?
[2015-02-05 09:03:46] BitMEX_Sam : On here? Like, between the static pages in the sidebar, or just between contracts?
[2015-02-05 09:04:03] floopfloop : just between the dashboard instruments
[2015-02-05 09:04:42] floopfloop : not getting it on any other tabs, but I have needed to refesh to fix it. Not sure what the deal is tbh
[2015-02-05 09:05:53] BitMEX_Sam : Hmm. sometimes it can take a little while to pull on the orderbook and trade data, especially the chart, but I haven't see anything too bad, and I'm on the other side of the world from our servers
[2015-02-05 09:06:36] floopfloop : ill keep you updated
[2015-02-05 09:06:43] floopfloop : this is the first time I have noticed it
[2015-02-05 09:06:56] floopfloop : might just be me, but I dont know what from
[2015-02-05 09:06:56] BitMEX_Sam : Cool. If you have any output from the inspector's network tab, if you've ever used that, it could be very helpful
[2015-02-05 09:07:07] BitMEX_Sam : That would tell me exactly what it is and what you're seeing
[2015-02-05 09:07:13] floopfloop : havent used it
[2015-02-05 09:08:32] floopfloop : ok i recorded something for you
[2015-02-05 09:08:52] floopfloop : how do I get it to you now?
[2015-02-05 09:08:59] BitMEX_Sam : Cool. sam@bitmex.com
[2015-02-05 09:09:04] floopfloop : no i mean in chrome
[2015-02-05 09:09:11] floopfloop : I have never used this before lol
[2015-02-05 09:10:53] floopfloop : copy and paste doesn't work, :(
[2015-02-05 09:13:29] floopfloop : 我不知道!
[2015-02-05 09:13:39] floopfloop : Those turn up nice
[2015-02-05 09:13:48] BitMEX_Sam : Hah, unicode
[2015-02-05 09:13:51] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah, just screenshot it
[2015-02-05 09:14:35] floopfloop : I cant export it?
[2015-02-05 09:14:42] BitMEX_Sam : Otherwise you can 'Copy All as HAR' and email me that
[2015-02-05 09:14:46] BitMEX_Sam : it should give you some really verbose json
[2015-02-05 09:14:53] BitMEX_Sam : right click and you'll see the option
[2015-02-05 09:15:00] floopfloop : where is copy as HAR?
[2015-02-05 09:15:27] BitMEX_Sam : Just right click on any of the items in the network pane
[2015-02-05 09:15:36] floopfloop : there we go
[2015-02-05 09:15:41] BitMEX_Sam : :)
[2015-02-05 09:15:46] floopfloop : clicking in wrong place
[2015-02-05 09:16:31] floopfloop : can i slect all and export it?
[2015-02-05 09:16:38] floopfloop : will that work on your end?
[2015-02-05 09:16:41] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah copy all will do it
[2015-02-05 09:16:46] BitMEX_Sam : then I'll just look at it
[2015-02-05 09:17:54] floopfloop : ok i sent what I think you need
[2015-02-05 09:18:32] BitMEX_Sam : Got it. Thanks
[2015-02-05 09:18:46] floopfloop : Please don't hack me and shut down my billion dollar porn operation I am running with Kim Dotcom
[2015-02-05 09:19:02] floopfloop : The implications would be staggering
[2015-02-05 09:19:15] floopfloop : ;) lol
[2015-02-05 09:20:18] BitMEX_Sam : Hah
[2015-02-05 09:20:32] BitMEX_Sam : The HAR looks pretty normal, aside from a bit of a long 'connecting' time
[2015-02-05 09:20:39] BitMEX_Sam : about 600-700ms to load a new symbol
[2015-02-05 09:20:52] floopfloop : yeah I click something and nothign happens
[2015-02-05 09:21:16] floopfloop : I am at 30% system resources
[2015-02-05 09:23:12] BitMEX_Sam : Ah
[2015-02-05 09:23:19] BitMEX_Sam : I see your browser throwing an error related to the new daily instrument
[2015-02-05 09:23:21] BitMEX_Sam : I'll trace it down
[2015-02-05 09:24:06] floopfloop : I like that new daily
[2015-02-05 09:24:25] floopfloop : although, one thing that might be helpful
[2015-02-05 09:24:34] floopfloop : and to not get people to navigate off your site
[2015-02-05 09:24:53] floopfloop : would be to have a converter or something that tells you the local time the contract settles at
[2015-02-05 09:25:06] floopfloop : some of us are stupid with time zones :)
[2015-02-05 09:25:13] BitMEX_Sam : It does, right in the contract specification on the top left
[2015-02-05 09:25:17] BitMEX_Sam : That's your local time
[2015-02-05 09:25:28] BitMEX_Sam : So it probably says something like 7 or 8 am, right?
[2015-02-05 09:26:21] floopfloop : wherea re you talking about
[2015-02-05 09:27:09] BitMEX_Sam : Top left, where it shows the contract name in big letters and the price
[2015-02-05 09:27:19] BitMEX_Sam : `XBTG15 is a XBT/USD quanto futures contract settling on the .XBT Index as of Feb 27 19:00:00 +07:00.`
[2015-02-05 09:27:23] floopfloop : https://www.bitmex.com/app/index/.XBT30M only GMT here
[2015-02-05 18:59:39] floopfloop : BitMEX_Sam: Will you be adding other alt cryptos like LTC, DRK, any time soon?
[2015-02-05 20:14:56] germanjew : what could even be more interesting is a LTCBTC future?
[2015-02-05 20:17:55] uiop : that would be cool yeah
[2015-02-05 20:17:57] uiop : LTCBTC
