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.

[2017-01-01 22:32:05] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: did you use 100x when you first started?
[2017-01-01 22:32:22] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: congrats on getting it all back.
[2017-01-01 22:32:31] BTCDJS : yup like an idiot. Plus I didn't know anything
[2017-01-01 22:32:35] BTCDJS : I just guessed
[2017-01-01 22:32:53] BTCDJS : now Im armed with some knowledge
[2017-01-01 22:33:24] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: easy to blow account with 100x. Rarely people can use 100x successfully
[2017-01-01 22:33:38] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: what leverage are you using now?
[2017-01-01 22:34:33] BTCDJS : I use 50X and rely on my TA skills to catch a breakout. But I only trade small amounts 0.2btc at a time
[2017-01-01 22:35:13] BTCDJS : I wait for these rallies. When there is no big rallies I don't trade here
[2017-01-01 22:35:19] alejandromasari : BTCDJS: so .02 x 50 you mean you trade 1 btc
[2017-01-01 22:35:38] gusi : 10 btc i think
[2017-01-01 22:35:48] BTCDJS : yeah but if I lose I only lose small
[2017-01-01 22:36:25] BTCDJS : Noobs come on here and trade 2Btc at 100X
[2017-01-01 22:36:31] sleger : gusi: thanks for correcting him, dont mind him, he is a twitter guy not a trader
[2017-01-01 22:36:32] BTCDJS : I used to do that
[2017-01-01 22:41:23] Trader3000 : Hi, do you have a link of the chart of the Mark Price of XMR7D??
[2017-01-01 22:41:42] l3f : sleger: what's your outlook?
[2017-01-01 22:41:46] l3f : think we'll visit ATH?
[2017-01-01 22:43:30] sleger : I'm still long, but a bit less
[2017-01-01 22:43:40] sleger : will buy if correction
[2017-01-01 22:44:06] Trader3000 : Anybody from Bitmex here?
[2017-01-01 22:45:09] j8 : say "admin" three times, in caps
[2017-01-01 22:45:09] Angelika : Trader3000: you can email them at support@bitmex.com
[2017-01-01 22:45:17] Trader3000 : ok, thx
[2017-01-01 22:45:25] Angelika : sometimes when you call them they show up
[2017-01-01 22:45:49] Naloxone : Trader3000: everyone is
[2017-01-01 22:46:01] BTCDJS : and sometimes they show up when you don't call them
[2017-01-01 22:46:15] Headroom : admins are a myth
[2017-01-01 22:47:29] CaptainDean : just send an email
[2017-01-01 22:47:56] MikeHunt : if you say admin 3 times in the mirror at midnight Sam will appear with a chainsaw behind you
[2017-01-01 22:48:11] Headroom : already tested, it works
[2017-01-01 22:48:42] BitMEX_Sam : :scissors:
[2017-01-01 22:48:50] Headroom : omg omg *running*
[2017-01-01 22:49:45] BitMEX_Sam : ??????
[2017-01-01 22:50:40] BTCDJS : BitMEX_Sam: I started out with 8600 contracts but now I have 8200. I did not sell any. Trade history doesn't show 8600 at all. Why would that happen?
[2017-01-01 22:52:09] justinlooking : BTCDJS: srry dude sounds like pebcak
[2017-01-01 22:52:25] BTCDJS : justinlooking: wat?
[2017-01-01 22:53:24] justinlooking : lmgtfy :P
[2017-01-01 22:53:29] CaptainDean : BTCDJS: you only bought 8200 of the 8600 ?
[2017-01-01 22:53:39] BTCDJS : nope
[2017-01-01 22:53:52] BTCDJS : there is a bug
[2017-01-01 22:54:35] justinlooking : 10000000000000000/1 is a bug
[2017-01-01 22:57:42] BTCDJS : wait a minute
[2017-01-01 22:57:51] BitMEX_Wally : BTCDJS: You bought 8200
[2017-01-01 22:57:56] BTCDJS : My bad.

[2017-01-01 22:58:31] dodic : BitMEX is s scam
[2017-01-01 22:58:37] CaptainDean : humain's brain bug
[2017-01-01 22:58:39] BitMEX_Wally : BTCDJS: No worries :)

[2017-01-01 22:58:43] dodic : lol
[2017-01-01 22:58:56] CaptainDean : BTCDJS: shit happens ;-)
[2017-01-01 22:59:03] BitMEX_Sam : ?????
[2017-01-01 22:59:08] Sheriff : Quick question. Is there a fee associated with holding a position on the perpetual swaps?
[2017-01-01 22:59:26] BitMEX_Sam : Sheriff: There can be, see https://www.bitmex.com/app/swapsGuide#Funding
[2017-01-01 22:59:39] BitMEX_Sam : XBTUSD is the only contract with this property.
[2017-01-01 23:00:20] Sheriff : Got it, thanks. Any easier way to calculate the rate than the equations they give?
[2017-01-01 23:00:28] Sheriff : *You give? haha
[2017-01-01 23:01:28] BitMEX_Sam : It's just `position value * rate`.
[2017-01-01 23:01:51] BitMEX_Sam : The calculations just show how we arrive at the rate.
[2017-01-01 23:02:17] Sheriff : Ahh ok gotcha, I see the funding rate on the left. Thank you!
[2017-01-01 23:04:42] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Sam: who are we finding with that .27% every 8 hours?
[2017-01-01 23:04:54] alejandromasari : Funding
[2017-01-01 23:05:05] BitMEX_Sam : Someone on the other side.
[2017-01-01 23:05:17] BTCDJS : sleger
[2017-01-01 23:05:23] justinlooking : ha
[2017-01-01 23:05:26] BitMEX_Sam : The rate depends on what side you are on. For example, if you are short XBTUSD right now, you will receive 0.2787% in 4 hours.
[2017-01-01 23:06:26] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Sam: why do we need to fund the shorts? This a new concept to me. I come from wall st. Shorts don't get funding.
[2017-01-01 23:06:58] BitMEX_Sam : alejandromasari: Because XBTUSD is a perpetual contract with no expiry. Without any tethering mechanism there is no reason why it should follow spot
[2017-01-01 23:07:19] BitMEX_Sam : 8hr funding rates are built to emulate futures basis but paid only during the duration you hold the contract.
[2017-01-01 23:07:21] sleger : "alejandromasari: BitMEX_Sam: why do we need to fund the shorts? This a new concept to me. I come from wall st. Shorts don't get funding."
[2017-01-01 23:07:24] sleger : lol what an idiot
[2017-01-01 23:07:30] BitMEX_Sam : Be nice sleger
[2017-01-01 23:07:38] sleger : he doesnt come from wall st
[2017-01-01 23:07:47] BitMEX_Sam : I understand the confusion regardless, it's a novel contract type
[2017-01-01 23:07:49] Headroom : Sam has a knife
[2017-01-01 23:07:59] BitMEX_Wally : alejandromasari: On Wall Street you pay to borrow USD and you pay to borrow stock. The net payments would be considered funding in total return swap
[2017-01-01 23:08:20] sleger : when you're on margin, wether long or short you DO pay funding
[2017-01-01 23:08:29] sleger : true on any street, wall or not
[2017-01-01 23:08:32] BitMEX_Wally : The borrow rate for USD is higher than the borrow rate for Bitcoin, hence why shorts get paid
[2017-01-01 23:08:42] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 1113 @ 1004.75
[2017-01-01 23:08:42] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTH17`: sell 1500 @ 1066.85
[2017-01-01 23:08:43] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: yeah you have to pay to borrow a stock
[2017-01-01 23:09:38] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: so if I use xbth17 I can avoid paying funding?
[2017-01-01 23:09:51] MikeHunt : looksing like sell time
[2017-01-01 23:10:04] BitMEX_Wally : alejandromasari: Yes, and by shorting XBTUSD you are paying the Bitcoin borrow rate and earning the USD rate. You can buy XBTH17 instead but of course it trades at a premium
[2017-01-01 23:11:03] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: thanks I'll move to xbth17
[2017-01-01 23:11:53] Sheriff : The premium shouldn't matter too much though considering XBTH17 price is separate from the XBTUSD price though, correct? You're not paying for the same thing
[2017-01-01 23:13:01] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 3500 @ 1001.69
[2017-01-01 23:13:57] aethlios : get ready to get REKTed

[2017-01-01 23:15:17] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 5 @ 1000.49
[2017-01-01 23:15:26] aethlios : This time is different....
[2017-01-01 23:15:26] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 700 @ 1000.20
[2017-01-01 23:15:26] REKT : HODL HODL HODL!
[2017-01-01 23:15:46] REKT : Liquidated long on `XBTUSD`: sell 18000 @ 999.50
[2017-01-01 23:15:50] Naloxone : Death to longs!
[2017-01-01 23:16:02] sleger : come to mummy discount
[2017-01-01 23:16:07] aethlios : long live the short, btc dead.
[2017-01-01 23:16:26] BTCDJS : ok now
[2017-01-01 23:16:28] alejandromasari : Chinese taking profits
[2017-01-01 23:16:28] BTCDJS : lol
[2017-01-01 23:16:37] MikeHunt : 970 ?
[2017-01-01 23:16:40] alejandromasari : they just woke up

[2017-01-01 23:17:40] aethlios : hope for that price.
[2017-01-01 23:18:02] alejandromasari : BitMEX_Wally: how do you block ignorant people on this chat?

[2017-01-01 23:19:32] BTCDJS : aethlios: I thought you were a bull
[2017-01-01 23:19:45] Tr : you wont see btc under 7000 yuan ever again
[2017-01-01 23:19:47] Tr : mark my words

[2017-01-01 23:20:05] Angelika : Tr: that's a stupid call
[2017-01-01 23:20:15] aethlios : BTCDJS: I am a bull, closed long positions, but I don't short, wait for 720-740. we go up from 465.
[2017-01-01 23:20:37] aethlios : BTCDJS: https://www.tradingview.com/x/CtbGhJia/

[2017-01-01 23:35:37] dodic : you do realize that price manipulation is one of the things that can and does happen in an unregulated free market right?
[2017-01-01 23:36:37] MikeHunt : sleger: any recommended reading material for HFT?

[2017-01-02 03:47:37] j8 : and lose 7%
[2017-01-02 03:47:53] Rado : well not really 7%
[2017-01-02 03:48:01] alejandromasari : why would the premium collapse?
[2017-01-02 03:48:03] Rado : it will go down to maybe 4%
[2017-01-02 03:48:14] Rado : because sentiment can change
[2017-01-02 03:48:29] j8 : if sentiment turns, and a lot of longs get liquidated, it can go to zero and negative
[2017-01-02 03:48:29] alejandromasari : ah ok I am only riding for a few days
[2017-01-02 03:48:41] alejandromasari : dont want to pay every 8 hours that's usury
[2017-01-02 03:48:46] alejandromasari : criminal interest rate
[2017-01-02 03:49:08] alejandromasari : 300% annualized lol
[2017-01-02 03:49:14] tradetime : alejandromasari: good call I agree
[2017-01-02 03:49:28] Rado : j8: was this dump because a big short was open for the funding rate?
[2017-01-02 03:49:31] Rado : speculating here
[2017-01-02 03:49:31] alejandromasari : mabye 400% interest rate annualized
[2017-01-02 03:49:47] weather b0y4 : is that rate on the entire position or on the collateral?
[2017-01-02 03:49:55] alejandromasari : entire position!!
[2017-01-02 03:50:01] thiago : alejandromasari: free to choose other exchange
[2017-01-02 03:50:13] weather b0y4 : thanks, ill stick with futures then
[2017-01-02 03:50:19] j8 : Rado: yeah it's a good reason to be trading at -0.25%, but not -0.5%
[2017-01-02 03:51:17] Rado : j8: is it -0.50% now?
[2017-01-02 03:51:29] j8 : no but it was more than that in the selloff
[2017-01-02 03:51:36] Rado : yes
[2017-01-02 03:51:44] Rado : because they needed to get a big position filled
[2017-01-02 03:51:56] Rado : triggered some other orders also
[2017-01-02 03:52:00] Rado : not sure
[2017-01-02 03:52:36] j8 : it's really not worth it to take a position for one funding payment. you have to plan for the next few
[2017-01-02 03:52:45] tradetime : damn thats a huge buy order, 200k contracts
[2017-01-02 03:53:12] weather b0y4 : new money hitting exchanges tomorrow is my reason for leveraging up now
[2017-01-02 03:53:26] alejandromasari : you can short the swap for the funding payment
[2017-01-02 03:53:27] weather b0y4 : hoping it wont backfire on me =)
[2017-01-02 03:53:29] alejandromasari : long the futures
[2017-01-02 03:54:08] Rado : j8: agreed

[2017-01-02 03:55:29] Rado : By the way I think it's a good time to short now for the short term
[2017-01-02 03:55:30] JamesPolo : What do you mean by new money hitting exchanges tomo
[2017-01-02 03:55:37] Rado : China is at $40 premium

[2017-01-02 03:56:11] odieoh : he means people putting fiat into the crypto system
[2017-01-02 03:56:17] weather b0y4 : people depositing money onto exchanges who are buying into the rally because they saw btc on the news; bank wires credited to account on monday
