Yield question

[monsterer]

Nothing, but you would not gain anything from that. Its like going long and short. 0% change.

Yield?

The yield comes from the short position I think. So you would not make any money at all doing this.

All interest paid by all shorts is shared by all USD equally.

What's to stop someone from taking both sides of the trade, shorting and buying into their own short, essentially entering into a 100% hedge which pays yield with no risk?

The short has to compete on interest, so to guarantee getting set there could be a net cost.

Does yield on a bitAsset purchase come from the interest paid by the short on the other side of the trade - and therefore stop being paid when that short covers?

The interest is paid when the short covers, and it just gets put into the pool that all other bitAsset fees go into.
