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

[2015-12-14 16:22:52] wurstgelee : sick
[2015-12-14 16:22:58] BitMEX_Sam : Insanity. That's about 20x where they should be
[2015-12-14 16:23:20] wurstgelee : that seriously fucks up the index
[2015-12-14 16:24:14] BitMEX_Sam : Live CB weighting is 79%
[2015-12-14 16:24:19] BitMEX_Sam : 15% finex
[2015-12-14 16:24:20] wurstgelee : imo they should do something about that....
[2015-12-14 16:24:34] BitMEX_Sam : Agreed, I don't think they anticipated weighting going wrong in the other direction
[2015-12-14 16:24:41] wurstgelee : manually deweight or whatever
[2015-12-14 16:24:44] BitMEX_Sam : Thankfully the price isn't an outlier right now
[2015-12-14 16:24:49] wurstgelee : yep
[2015-12-14 16:24:57] sleger : yeah exactly its at 445 so doesnt matter
[2015-12-14 16:25:00] BitMEX_Sam : Although it would start to deweight if it were
[2015-12-14 16:25:22] sleger : funny i said 2 hours ago that it would be better to just use fixed weighting of some exchanges like the other platforms do...
[2015-12-14 16:25:22] wurstgelee : depends how they're algortihm works.
[2015-12-14 16:25:37] sleger : wurstgelee: they're = they are
[2015-12-14 16:25:53] wurstgelee : if they include volume when determining what should be deweighted, everyone else would get deweighted when moving away from cb
[2015-12-14 16:25:55] podizzle3k : well if they can continue to do that volume all day every day they should be 80% of the weight
[2015-12-14 16:26:14] wurstgelee : sleger: yes i know ffs
[2015-12-14 16:26:16] wurstgelee : typo
[2015-12-14 16:26:19] wurstgelee : thanks for correcting me oO
[2015-12-14 16:27:04] podizzle3k : i think the issue is that volume is predicated upon the trading fees. 0% fees vs 5% fees and you will have massively different volume #s
[2015-12-14 16:28:05] laisee : vol s/be weighted for effective fees (all fees) per exchange
[2015-12-14 16:28:06] wurstgelee : probably a good idea to base weighting on fees
[2015-12-14 16:28:16] wurstgelee : less fess -> smaller weight
[2015-12-14 16:28:28] podizzle3k : coinbase #3 volume worldwide. maybe its coinbase exchange trading its own coins (no fees) so they can have that headline today
[2015-12-14 16:28:33] podizzle3k : good thinking wurst
[2015-12-14 16:28:39] BitMEX_Sam : Maybe an investor meeting? :p
[2015-12-14 16:28:55] BitMEX_Arthur : Andreseen wasn't happy
[2015-12-14 16:28:57] BitMEX_Arthur : Said PUMP IT
[2015-12-14 16:29:05] podizzle3k : pump the volume
[2015-12-14 16:29:24] podizzle3k : chinas making us look bad with their billion btc volumes
[2015-12-14 16:29:25] BitMEX_Arthur : You gotta PUMP IT UP!
[2015-12-14 16:29:27] wurstgelee : anyways, leaving work, going home
[2015-12-14 16:29:29] wurstgelee : bbl
[2015-12-14 16:29:53] habibi : buy bread pls
[2015-12-14 16:29:59] laisee : pump up the volume
[2015-12-14 16:30:12] BitMEX_Arthur : pump up the jam
[2015-12-14 16:30:54] podizzle3k : jock jams volume 2
[2015-12-14 16:31:36] podizzle3k : owner of that bot now crumpled into fetal position weeping
[2015-12-14 16:32:47] podizzle3k : test
[2015-12-14 16:33:09] podizzle3k : hey sam can you restart irc chatbot when you get a chance
[2015-12-14 16:33:30] haxmb : my chat isnt working
[2015-12-14 16:33:47] podizzle3k : haxmb its delayed. someone's bot is misbehaving and causing lag
[2015-12-14 16:34:06] podizzle3k : i guess
[2015-12-14 16:34:46] haxmb : ok
[2015-12-14 16:34:54] haxmb : BitMEX_Arthur: i have a question :)
[2015-12-14 16:35:17] haxmb : The .BXT index is the pure XBX as displayed on the tradeblock.com or is it a different weight
[2015-12-14 16:36:27] podizzle3k : haxmb did you read what it says when you hover over the grey number?
[2015-12-14 16:36:37] podizzle3k : kinda explains it
[2015-12-14 16:50:06] podizzle3k : to... the....
[2015-12-14 16:50:44] podizzle3k : mewwwwwwwwwwwwn ┗(°0°)┛
[2015-12-14 16:51:27] REKT : Liquidated short on XBT24H: Buy 1000 @ 451.24
[2015-12-14 16:56:01] podizzle3k : back to goblin town
[2015-12-14 16:56:23] j8 : to the meme!
[2015-12-14 17:09:05] podizzle3k : i want the shorts to be liquidated so bad that even the hottest water with the best detergent couldnt bring them back
[2015-12-14 17:09:49] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah I need to do some tweaking to the irc bot, it's not been robust lately
[2015-12-14 17:10:01] BitMEX_Sam : I believe there's been some connection failures on freenode's end
[2015-12-14 17:11:15] habibi : change node to kornbluth.freenode.net, best one imho when all others get dc
[2015-12-14 17:11:32] BitMEX_Sam : Just going to work some reconnection logic into it
[2015-12-14 17:11:38] BitMEX_Sam : Thanks for the node recommendation
[2015-12-14 17:17:40] sleger : BitMEX_Sam: you wrote the sample MM bot ?
[2015-12-14 17:25:33] BitMEX_Sam : Based on an old Gox bot but modified heavily
[2015-12-14 17:27:28] sleger : it is very well written, good safety/reconnect etc, excellent tool for wannabe algo traders, congrats
[2015-12-14 17:32:06] podizzle3k : hmm i like this slow gradual price rise
[2015-12-14 17:32:23] podizzle3k : probably be wiped out in 1 5m okcoin candle
[2015-12-14 17:33:25] wurstgelee : re
[2015-12-14 17:36:15] wurstgelee : sample MM bot?
[2015-12-14 18:04:47] BitMEX_Sam : wurstgelee: https://github.com/BitMEX/market-maker
[2015-12-14 18:06:06] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Sam: thanks! ;)
[2015-12-14 18:06:27] BitMEX_Sam : It's a platform, I wouldn't recommend using it wholesale but you get full REST and WebSocket data for free with it
[2015-12-14 18:06:49] BitMEX_Sam : So it's just up to you as a user to figure out your strategy and implement it, without having to worry about how to get the data you need, sign API requests, etc
[2015-12-14 18:07:39] wurstgelee : yep, thats what i figured. hence the "sample" in the name ;)
[2015-12-14 18:08:03] wurstgelee : im probably not using and anyway, maybe toying around with it a bit when i have some spare time and motivation ;)
[2015-12-14 18:08:08] wurstgelee : *and=it
[2015-12-14 18:08:18] BitMEX_Sam : Sure - it's good fun on testnet anyway with the basic strategy
[2015-12-14 18:08:35] BitMEX_Sam : We use it for load testing sometimes, blanket the market with the mm then we use another bot to just start eating up orders
[2015-12-14 18:09:59] wurstgelee : makes sense :)
[2015-12-14 18:10:40] BitMEX_Sam : The testnet market is so naive, you could probably make some good T&btc; on it
[2015-12-14 18:11:30] wurstgelee : yes, some guy who didnt trade margin ever before made 30-40 btc easily in 2 or 3 days
[2015-12-14 18:12:21] wurstgelee : back when it went parabolic up to 500 tho, so probably extra easy
[2015-12-14 18:15:14] sleger : If I were an ass I would argue that the same is true for the live market, so since I am an ass I can say it : live market is so naive :)
[2015-12-14 18:15:27] BitMEX_Sam : I believe it
[2015-12-14 18:15:36] sleger : that I am an ass ?
[2015-12-14 18:15:39] sleger : :p
[2015-12-14 18:15:39] BitMEX_Sam : Ahahaha
[2015-12-14 18:15:42] wurstgelee : both ;)
[2015-12-14 18:15:43] BitMEX_Sam : No comment.
[2015-12-14 18:15:52] wurstgelee : well, bots are naive, so is the market ;)
[2015-12-14 18:18:40] TschavaTschigger : if even some random noob-coder like me can make +pnl on live, then yes... it's naive in fact
[2015-12-14 18:42:53] TschavaTschigger : I guess even rapid can make a profitable bot here
[2015-12-14 18:47:18] sleger : LOL
[2015-12-14 18:55:18] TschavaTschigger : just encouraging him to bot on bitmex so we get free bitcoi.... uhm i mean satoshis
[2015-12-14 18:59:21] habibi : i think bitmex pays more for servers work by rapid than they gets from him in comision
[2015-12-14 18:59:46] wurstgelee : especially when he starts hammering the orderbooks with 1 contract orders
[2015-12-14 19:00:18] TschavaTschigger : well, we don't even know if he is actually trading here or just spamming in the trollbox
[2015-12-14 19:00:48] habibi : even more then
[2015-12-14 19:00:55] habibi : no commision and still some work to do by servers
[2015-12-14 19:00:56] wurstgelee : only costs then :)
[2015-12-14 19:01:00] wurstgelee : yep
[2015-12-14 19:01:25] habibi : BitMEX_Sam: bankruptcy inc?
[2015-12-14 19:01:52] habibi : i think that was the main reason for eventually banning him from chat
[2015-12-14 19:01:59] BitMEX_Sam : We didn't actually ban him.
[2015-12-14 19:02:12] habibi : yep but it was close to
[2015-12-14 19:02:27] BitMEX_Sam : I was going to, for his language, but had a call come in right before I did, and he disappeared right then for days
[2015-12-14 19:02:34] BitMEX_Sam : So I didn't get around to it, tbh
[2015-12-14 19:03:01] habibi : next time he ll come with friends.. overloaded servers and still no commision :p
[2015-12-14 19:03:44] BitMEX_Sam : Servers are doing fine - no issues, we fixed what was causing slow conns yesterday
[2015-12-14 19:05:05] habibi : no offence, rapid jokes here
[2015-12-14 19:05:19] habibi : almost as good as rapid trades
[2015-12-14 19:09:07] podizzle3k : here i'll make up for what we're missing from rapidtrades
[2015-12-14 19:09:20] podizzle3k : $4 premium wow keep buying b1tches!
[2015-12-14 19:09:27] podizzle3k : more money for me when the dump comes
[2015-12-14 19:10:07] podizzle3k : now we just need to find floopfloop
[2015-12-14 19:10:24] justinlooking : *flips you off
[2015-12-14 19:10:31] podizzle3k : haha i forgot about that
[2015-12-14 19:10:38] wurstgelee : what can possibly go wrong?
[2015-12-14 19:10:45] wurstgelee : *was missing :)
[2015-12-14 19:19:25] justinlooking : i miss him
[2015-12-14 19:19:52] justinlooking : my fav quote is when he told someone they were calling the cattle black
[2015-12-14 19:30:17] habibi : btw micmix is away for few days
[2015-12-14 19:42:08] sleger : justinlooking: that was me he told that too
[2015-12-14 19:42:43] justinlooking : bless his little cotton socks
[2015-12-14 19:42:46] sleger : I like micmix but his bot underdelivers
[2015-12-14 19:43:37] podizzle3k : he offers the source?

[2015-12-14 19:47:00] podizzle3k : thx

[2015-12-14 19:49:20] podizzle3k : yeah i follow whalecalls already
[2015-12-14 19:49:57] podizzle3k : hmm new star trek isnt by jj abrams. probably wont be good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRVD32rnzOw
[2015-12-14 19:50:49] wurstgelee : jj abrams sold it, he's done with sw

[2015-12-14 21:19:25] cataquil : thats how btc market is. in other markets there are fast sudden moves, but you always here the reason for em...whether a fat finger or other

[2015-12-14 22:11:04] sleger : Question : on Friday, do we have a new weekly contract ?
[2015-12-14 22:11:23] wurstgelee : sleger: y shouldnt we?
[2015-12-14 22:11:43] sleger : wurstgelee: what do you think its maturity date would be ?
[2015-12-14 22:12:05] wurstgelee : 26th?
[2015-12-14 22:12:13] justinlooking : same as Z
[2015-12-14 22:12:14] wurstgelee : oh no
[2015-12-14 22:12:16] wurstgelee : 25th
[2015-12-14 22:12:21] j8 : in the past there's still been a weekly even though it has the same expiry
[2015-12-14 22:12:23] sleger : exactly so ...
[2015-12-14 22:12:30] sleger : j8: ok thanks
[2015-12-14 22:12:41] wurstgelee : there are also dailies ond weekly settlement...
[2015-12-14 22:12:47] sleger : pretty useless in my opinion
[2015-12-14 22:12:50] wurstgelee : y should it be different?
[2015-12-14 22:12:52] j8 : i wish they would combine in that case.
[2015-12-14 22:13:11] wurstgelee : different time weighting
[2015-12-14 22:13:19] sleger : yes of course that would make total sense, just create the new weekly on thursday (so a +8 days contract)
[2015-12-14 22:13:43] sleger : wurstgelee: "wurstgelee: different time weighting" yes but who cares. Leverage is also different
[2015-12-14 22:14:16] wurstgelee : yes..i dont get why settlement on same day for different contract types are a problem to even think about :)
[2015-12-14 22:14:22] wurstgelee : *is
[2015-12-14 22:14:34] j8 : weekly and longer all have the same time weighting. the only difference is lever
[2015-12-14 22:14:42] sleger : wurstgelee: liquidity split
[2015-12-14 22:14:56] justinlooking : 24h is only one with different time weighting
[2015-12-14 22:15:27] wurstgelee : we always have liquidity split
[2015-12-14 22:15:34] wurstgelee : not only on settlement days
[2015-12-14 22:15:57] sleger : yes but it makes sense to have 1day, 7 days, 1-3 months etc...
[2015-12-14 22:16:07] justinlooking : i wonder if we'll get a jan. i don't think we got a nov
[2015-12-14 22:16:15] sleger : but having 1 day, 1 week, 1 week, 3 months...
[2015-12-14 22:16:43] wurstgelee : i get your point, i dont see it as a problem though
[2015-12-14 22:17:02] sleger : if you combine, more liquidity
[2015-12-14 22:17:17] j8 : it's a problem for all the holders of `Z15` if the market disappears in the last week
[2015-12-14 22:17:18] wurstgelee : yes ofc, still no problem imo
[2015-12-14 22:18:09] wurstgelee : j8: thats not because of split liquidity imo but because settlement gets closer, therefore less speculation etc
[2015-12-14 22:18:15] wurstgelee : -> less liquidity
[2015-12-14 22:18:37] wurstgelee : same happens every day close to 12:00 utc
[2015-12-14 22:18:43] wurstgelee : hardly andy liquidity in the last hour
[2015-12-14 22:18:46] wurstgelee : any
[2015-12-14 22:18:50] sleger : whatever your opinion is, creating a brand new contract that has the same expiry as an existing one is a weird idea
[2015-12-14 22:19:13] wurstgelee : opinions are like assholes...everyone has them ;)
[2015-12-14 22:19:13] j8 : of course it's worse because of split liquidity. there's no reason for new people to trade `Z15` when there's a weekly with higher leverage
[2015-12-14 22:20:41] sleger : wurstgelee: i dont know if it s a good thing but someone already wants to share my asshole, yours is alone so far :p
[2015-12-14 22:21:04] wurstgelee : haha =)
[2015-12-14 22:21:10] wurstgelee : im fine with that
[2015-12-14 22:24:31] j8 : i think they had fixed contract symbols first, then they added relisting contracts, and it's a detail that sort of slipped through
[2015-12-14 22:25:32] wurstgelee : ask them if its on purpose or not. i guess it is :)
[2015-12-14 22:25:50] wurstgelee : purpose might be the wrong word, but i dont think it slipped through
[2015-12-14 22:26:04] j8 : the one justification i've heard is they have different leverage.
[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 22:27:56] justinlooking : don't list a weekly on Friday, just keep Z15?
[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 ?
[2015-12-14 22:41:56] micmix : didn't get permission yet, still in test mode :-(
[2015-12-14 22:42:55] sleger : tough crowd !
[2015-12-14 22:43:07] rapidtrades : micmix: hey how's it goin? want to get into bot coding...c++ or python?
[2015-12-14 22:43:23] justinlooking : LMAO
[2015-12-14 22:43:57] laisee : rapidtrades: > u coded b4?
[2015-12-14 22:44:09] sleger : justinlooking: dont know about LMAO language, did you mean VBA maybe ?
[2015-12-14 22:44:16] j8 : ah, good to have you back rapidtrades. do python
[2015-12-14 22:44:35] habibi : rapidtrades: best ones are written in php
[2015-12-14 22:45:35] sleger : Mine is written in powerpoint, it's a bit slow though
[2015-12-14 22:45:39] thebigmac : ding

[2015-12-14 22:47:05] wurstgelee : did he call top already?
[2015-12-14 22:48:18] laisee : wurstgelee: > it's all about the cintent, and the fans.
[2015-12-14 22:48:40] wurstgelee : ;)
[2015-12-14 22:53:05] j8 : wtf anyone have issues cancelling orders right now?
[2015-12-14 22:54:26] wurstgelee : no open orderss i could cancel
[2015-12-14 22:54:27] wurstgelee : sec
[2015-12-14 22:54:49] wurstgelee : nope, works
[2015-12-14 22:56:09] haxmb : admin?
[2015-12-14 22:56:43] BitMEX_Sam : Yeah?
[2015-12-14 22:56:55] BitMEX_Sam : Oh wow. I see it. Hold on
[2015-12-14 22:57:19] j8 : Unhandled rejection b: Invalid value for argument 'orderID' of type 'string'. Received type was converted to object.
[2015-12-14 22:57:30] BitMEX_Sam : Yes. Please use the API explorer if you must cancel now
[2015-12-14 22:57:32] BitMEX_Sam : We will patch immediately
[2015-12-14 22:57:46] j8 : the cancel all buttons work.
[2015-12-14 22:57:54] BitMEX_Sam : Good! Thanks for that
[2015-12-14 22:58:09] wurstgelee : i created a new order and could cancel it,
[2015-12-14 22:58:23] wurstgelee : bc i didnt reload for quite a while maybe?
[2015-12-14 22:58:48] j8 : refresh for the broken version :)
[2015-12-14 22:59:03] wurstgelee : yep ;)
[2015-12-14 23:07:36] micmix : rapidtrades: Hi rapid! 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. BitMEX_Sam made very good sample https://github.com/BitMEX/market-maker. It has everything you need, you just have to add your own strategy.
[2015-12-14 23:10:39] rapidtrades : micmix: tnx man
[2015-12-14 23:13:44] micmix : BTW, did you guys see Coinbase crazyness? I was away all day and got a text to check our balance on Coinbase. Logged in and HOLY CR@P!
[2015-12-14 23:14:09] habibi : micmix: did ur bot played on these waves?
[2015-12-14 23:14:24] cataquil : they have OTC
[2015-12-14 23:14:32] micmix : Our MM made more in one day than in 2 previous month!
[2015-12-14 23:14:49] j8 : that's awesome... i figured people must be making a killing
[2015-12-14 23:14:49] haxmb : micmix what scale we talking about
[2015-12-14 23:15:02] haxmb : $10,000+ ?
[2015-12-14 23:15:10] micmix : haxmb: can't say, sorry
[2015-12-14 23:15:36] haxmb : oh are non -US customers allowed on coinbase yet?
[2015-12-14 23:15:37] habibi : rapidtrades ammount
[2015-12-14 23:15:48] j8 : not bad for an otherwise slow day of trading
[2015-12-14 23:16:27] BitMEX_Sam : micmix: Yeah I bet it was extremely profitable, pretty tight range but a ton of oscillation
[2015-12-14 23:16:29] BitMEX_Sam : perfect MM conditions
[2015-12-14 23:16:42] BitMEX_Sam : Order cancel bug is fixed, thanks guy for bringing that to my attention asap
[2015-12-14 23:17:11] jesperf : Do you have bug bounties yet?
[2015-12-14 23:17:56] micmix : yep, we get similar conditions on okc sometimes, but not for that long and not on that scale
[2015-12-14 23:18:12] rapidtrades : micmix: okc spot or futures
[2015-12-14 23:18:18] micmix : spot
[2015-12-14 23:18:26] micmix : BTC/CNY
[2015-12-14 23:18:31] BitMEX_Sam : jesperf: Us?
[2015-12-14 23:18:33] rapidtrades : don't trade that
[2015-12-14 23:18:42] BitMEX_Sam : https://cobalt.io/bitmex
[2015-12-14 23:18:57] rapidtrades : micmix: do u bot on USD
[2015-12-14 23:19:23] jesperf : BitMEX_Sam: yeah, that's what I meant :) good to know!
[2015-12-14 23:20:10] micmix : haxmb: coinbase exchange is available in UK, Canada and many US states
[2015-12-14 23:34:24] micmix : rapidtrades: we run different algos on most bitcoin exchanges

[2015-12-14 23:39:05] wurstgelee : ok, now i have that error on canceling orders too...
[2015-12-14 23:39:22] wurstgelee : BitMEX_Sam: how is the fixing coming along? ;)
[2015-12-14 23:49:34] sleger : that's not a bug, it's a new feature to increase commissions :)
[2015-12-14 23:52:09] habibi : finex is finexing

[2015-12-15 00:01:11] BitMEX_Sam : Thanks for bearing with us :)
[2015-12-15 00:01:18] cataquil : hugh? does bitmex api give tradeblo

[2015-12-15 00:02:19] cataquil : 42%
[2015-12-15 00:02:25] BitMEX_Sam : Not yet, but it will soon. We have the data and the permission to publish it.
[2015-12-15 00:02:43] cataquil : coinbase seems to come out of nowhere, it was bitfinex a few weeks ago
[2015-12-15 00:04:37] cataquil : seems like alot of volume is not being weighed if CNY exchanges are not being factored in
[2015-12-15 00:07:49] sleger : they just throw volume out of the window ?
[2015-12-15 00:07:58] sleger : that's not very nice
[2015-12-15 00:09:11] cataquil : well maybe they do it for charity
