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.

[2015-12-12 21:24:03] TschavaTschigger : MrRGnome: https://www.bitmex.com/app/settlementHistory here you can see past DPE... then you go to account --> wallet and look at your profit... and calculate profit / (1-dpe) [2015-12-12 21:24:20] TschavaTschigger : the difference between this number and your actual profit is the amount you lost to dpe [2015-12-12 21:24:49] MrRGnome : So it was a percent haircut applied to all settlments on that one 24 settlement action [2015-12-12 21:24:58] TschavaTschigger : exactly [2015-12-12 21:25:14] TschavaTschigger : well, not on the settlements, but on the profits [2015-12-12 21:27:56] MrRGnome : That's pretty frustrating. I wish the number was more obvious, messages or account alerts existed explaining the situation. Anything really other than the DPE reference docs hidden away behind the contract specs. I'm pretty upset that bitmex profited on fees during that settlement period. [2015-12-12 21:31:59] habibi : on one hand its just how system works, on other hands we asked both Sam and Arthur several times about how much funds were at insurance fund before dpe went shit, Artur said it was 0 btc when like 2-3 weeks ago Sam said it had 6 btc and there were no a single negative dpe since then [2015-12-12 21:33:46] BitMEX_Sam : There appears to be a lot of confusion about how the system works [2015-12-12 21:33:51] BitMEX_Sam : I posted this to help clear it up: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/3wimu0/bitcoin_futures_exchange_bitmex_incurs_first_dpe/cxwixm5 [2015-12-12 21:33:52] TschavaTschigger : habibi: they used the insurance to keep the dpe zero [2015-12-12 21:33:58] BitMEX_Sam : TschavaTschigger: Exactly [2015-12-12 21:34:21] TschavaTschigger : it wasn't communicated clearly, but they did everything correct [2015-12-12 21:34:32] TschavaTschigger : working as intented [2015-12-12 21:34:37] habibi : so it had zero btc even before yesterday settlement like Artur said ? [2015-12-12 21:34:54] BitMEX_Sam : No, that is a misunderstanding, but it was very low [2015-12-12 21:35:04] BitMEX_Sam : The rapid movement wiped it out [2015-12-12 21:35:18] habibi : k, BitMEX_Sam would be great for as soon possible public information about it in real data [2015-12-12 21:35:21] habibi : real time* [2015-12-12 21:35:41] BitMEX_Sam : When we publish DPE rates, they are indicative - as in, if the instrument settled right now, that's what the rate would [2015-12-12 21:35:54] BitMEX_Sam : There is not a separate application of leftover funds from bankruptci [2015-12-12 21:36:15] BitMEX_Sam : rate would be* , bankruptcies, sorry, keyboard is acting up [2015-12-12 21:37:14] BitMEX_Sam : The system is exactly working as intended and as advertised. What we're taking from this is that users want more information about the insurance fund and better organization of settlement details, both of which we intend to address soon [2015-12-12 21:37:37] TschavaTschigger : +1 [2015-12-12 21:37:53] wurstgelee : PIIING [2015-12-12 21:39:21] podizzler3k : looks like okdumps got their shit together [2015-12-12 21:39:21] podizzler3k : now they just need to recompile the pump bot [2015-12-12 21:39:21] podizzler3k : clearly its broke [2015-12-12 21:39:21] podizzler3k : probably had too many withdrawals, was getting close to halting. the "cold storage" isnt exactly available atm [2015-12-12 21:39:21] podizzler3k : theoretically it is, in actuality its somewhere in star xu's couch cushions in his multi million $ villa [2015-12-12 21:39:35] BitMEX_Sam : There we go - sorry about that, had to restart the IRC bot [2015-12-12 21:39:52] wurstgelee : podizzler3k: haha [2015-12-12 21:42:43] podizzler3k : thx sam im irc warrior [2015-12-12 21:44:03] MrRGnome : BitMEX_Sam, would bitmex consider not taking fees on these kinds of incidents? It would go a long way to know you're experience socialized losses too. [2015-12-12 21:56:11] podizzler3k : i seriously doubt they are taking fees on profits you dont receive [2015-12-12 21:57:11] habibi : podizzler3k: they take on every taker tx u make [2015-12-12 21:57:20] habibi : as on settlement [2015-12-12 21:58:33] podizzler3k : right but if you are setling for reduced profits then they are settling for reduced fees [2015-12-12 21:59:20] habibi : nah [2015-12-12 22:03:05] BitMEX_Sam : I'm sorry but this is the way this kind of market works - remember this is 100x (without lending fees) on an instrument that just moved nearly 20% and back again in the span of about 4 hours. Highly leveraged positions have tradeoffs. [2015-12-12 22:03:56] mwalshe99 : sam, i dont think many people understand how daily futures work [2015-12-12 22:03:58] BitMEX_Sam : Re: not taking fees, we have to run a business, which costs; if we did that, we would have to raise fees other days to offset it, which would affect all users, not just the ones who made profit on a volatile contract. [2015-12-12 22:04:01] mwalshe99 : dont worry about it [2015-12-12 22:05:40] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Sam: the problem is ur putting the burden on the winning traders...if stupid newbies want to FOMO long, u should execute their stupid longs as market orders as soon as possible...u used limits and here we are [2015-12-12 22:06:04] rapidtrades : it's not about leverage cos lev works both ways [2015-12-12 22:06:07] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: we dont lend real btc so speaking of lending fees at btc futures is pretty way not the key :p [2015-12-12 22:06:15] rapidtrades : for every buyer there's a seller, leveraged or not [2015-12-12 22:06:43] rapidtrades : u can't run a trading exchange by catering to newbies imo, they will burn out eventually anyway [2015-12-12 22:06:49] habibi : how u wanna market buy 50/100k orders when market orderbook is up to 20k only? [2015-12-12 22:06:54] BitMEX_Sam : rapidtrades: The fact that we use limit orders to liquidate positions has nothing to do with the losses. [2015-12-12 22:07:24] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: maybe [2015-12-12 22:07:26] BitMEX_Sam : That strategy more often produces executions with remnants that offset DPE - the problem is that when the market moves quickly, the liquidity to execute large liquidations is simply not there [2015-12-12 22:07:57] mwalshe99 : i dont know why this is an issue [2015-12-12 22:08:05] habibi : maybe, u should just set a max ammount of contracts per account at one point? [2015-12-12 22:08:25] sleger : habibi: thats not a good idea, i can just open 10 accounts. [2015-12-12 22:08:48] habibi : sleger: same as u can do opposite trades by running two accounts [2015-12-12 22:09:08] habibi : and playing against liquidation dpe process as we talked before [2015-12-12 22:09:22] macios15 : cross fingers guys [2015-12-12 22:09:23] macios15 : its the time [2015-12-12 22:09:30] podizzler3k : time to sell [2015-12-12 22:09:36] wurstgelee : into your orders? :D [2015-12-12 22:09:47] rapidtrades : BitMEX_Sam: it absolutely does...I was out of all my trades and I had 0% at exit...still I got rekted with 24% because u couldn't properly execute a sell margin call [2015-12-12 22:09:53] podizzler3k : you havent picked up on the chop pattern [2015-12-12 22:09:57] podizzler3k : its pretty obvious at this point [2015-12-12 22:10:05] wurstgelee : k [2015-12-12 22:10:15] habibi : rapidtrades: u freakin idiot [2015-12-12 22:10:22] rapidtrades : someone gets a margin call, sell them into the bids, one traders loss is another one gain [2015-12-12 22:10:23] macios15 : ping going to knock down pong [2015-12-12 22:10:42] habibi : thats how this system works ffs. [2015-12-12 22:11:01] podizzler3k : rapidtrades you realize there is no perfect solution and this is the best? or you just want to complain for the sake of complaining [2015-12-12 22:11:02] REKT : Liquidated short on XBT24H: Buy 953 @ 432.84 [2015-12-12 22:11:19] sleger : podizzler3k: this is not the best solution though, the one from bitVC makes so much more sense [2015-12-12 22:11:22] rapidtrades : and this ''system'' is only used by bitcoin exchanges, everywhere else is close by market on the market [2015-12-12 22:11:38] habibi : are u sure about this? [2015-12-12 22:11:44] rapidtrades : yep
