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.

[2015-12-14 22:26:24] sleger : yes but i think the benefit is far less than the disadvantage [2015-12-14 22:26:34] j8 : i agree [2015-12-14 22:26:42] wurstgelee : and we are back to assholes ;) [2015-12-14 22:27:35] justinlooking : what are you proposing slege?

[2015-12-14 22:28:57] wurstgelee : yes, if i didnt get him wrong [2015-12-14 22:29:25] justinlooking : well shouldn't the 7d become a 24h at some point too then... it's admittedly a more conventional way of "doing" futures [2015-12-14 22:29:45] wurstgelee : nope, different leverage, different settlement [2015-12-14 22:30:13] justinlooking : yeh [2015-12-14 22:33:14] sleger : justinlooking: 24h is a bit of a different animal due to extreme leverage, and 7d and 24h have decent liquidity, the other contracts not at all [2015-12-14 22:35:09] j8 : it would be pretty ugly to not list the `7D` symbol, for charts etc. the other option is to have your `Z15` contracts become `7D`, which also seems like a big change in terms of accounting [2015-12-14 22:36:00] sleger : j8: that is what 0kcoin does [2015-12-14 22:38:04] j8 : yeah, that's one thing they did right. [2015-12-14 22:38:08] justinlooking : sleger: that's where i think listing spreads as separate contracts with quoting and matching on implied prices (ala interest rates) would help a lot with liquidity in the further contracts [2015-12-14 22:38:29] micmix : sleger : I like micmix but his bot underdelivers [2015-12-14 22:38:53] micmix : not enough liquidations for you sleger? :-) [2015-12-14 22:39:53] sleger : micmix: no the quoting bot, it went away ? [2015-12-14 22:40:18] sleger : justinlooking: In theory I agree, however I think the liquidity would be very small and most people would not understand [2015-12-14 22:40:54] micmix : no, it was here all the time. 95/91 ATM it's me [2015-12-14 22:41:19] sleger : why not x10 already ? at least 1k contract no ?

Serious answerto your question: Definitely use python, C++ is really hard to start with. If you can find something that doesn't require programming like Haasbot it's even better.
