Attack can be defended against with extra collateral.  Initial short positions are always safe from attack until the min cover ask falls 10%. 

There would be high fees to attack in a single block.

I have lost , what do you mean about 10%?
When the initial price is 1, the min cover ask is 0.666
when I short at price 1, the cover price is 0.75
I think it's not safe for the initial short position

You are right, I got those two numbers backward.    Increasing the min cover ask to .90 may be better.

yes, that will be more safe.
but  I would like to limit when to trigger margin call,  rather than  limit  how to fill the ask order.

I think we should protect 2 things:
1. the system. 
short with a too higher price will attack the system.
cover with a too lower price with extra bts will attack the system.
In fact , we have protect the system  good now.
2. the cover order. because the cover order has extra bts, so it's a good attack object.
we should add some rules to protect the cover order.

BM, I also saw your feedback to Alt at another thread, and agree with you that one acount to control the whole order book is almost impossible and basically nothing could be done by system even on the current centerlized market. My only concern is that the difference between our system and the traditional system is that we have Delegates. When the attacker do that together with a centain Delegate, the possibility of his success will become higher a lot. The only thing the attacker should do is waiting for an opportunity when there is proper market orders structure and "his" Delegate is going to produce next block, then he could start the attack and the Delegate could make his orders mathced before any other transaction happen.

So do we need to consider about this risk? Alt is proposing a solution in preivous post, it looks abnormal at the first galance, but I think it deserves more consideration before we say current market engine is better then his proposal.

Thanks.

The avg price is a lagging indicator

maybe the lag is not a big problem, maybe give short position a  chance to add backup is better.
In fact I am not family with finance.  I just feel we can do it   better.

but I think it's not a problem about market depth
It's a problem about the balance of cover order and bid order.
I just need to wait a chance,
If sum_xts_of( all bid order higher than min_cover_price)  <=  sum_usd_of(all cover order higher than min_cover_price)/min_cover_price.
I can do this attack very soon. even at one block.

and another problem, maybe is  harmless
I think the limit check for the short order should not do at market engine.
It  should do when include the short order to the block.
when the maximum  short price is 1.0 now, and I make a short order with price 1.0
next block, the limit is to 0.999, my short order will not match, this is strange

[alt]

I think to avoid this attack, we should use an average price to decide if the margin call should execute.

Code: [Select]

price_margin_call  = (price_margin_call * 359 + _current_bid->get_price().ratio)/360
for safe reason, if the price_margin_call down more than 0.1% at a block, we can limit to 0.1%.
and we can cancel the limit of min_cover_ask because the price_margin_call is fair enough.

That isn't an "attack" that is a shallow market where you controlled the order book without competition.    That is the problem with the test networks is that you can contrive any arbitrary set of orders and "call" it an attack, when in reality everything executed exactly as it should.

even the market depth is enough,  this attack can work, only need the cover depth is more than the bid depth.

So I write the attack plane here.

you see, when the trade price is 0.0083, many margin call will happen. and the minimum cover price is 0.0075.
so I will sell my XTS at price more than 0.0083, and I'll give a bid order at price 0.0075, buy all the XTS at price 0.0075.

ask baozi 1990 XTS 0.01 USD
# wait a block
ask baozi 1200000 XTS 0.00833333 USD
bid baozi  2767225 XTS 0.007518 USD
from the attack, I spent 2173010 XTS, and I can get 2173010.
In fact, I can make a short order at price 0.007518, to get all cover order at the low price.

Do NOT publish price feeds on 0.4.4 yet

[Fox]

What are the major differences between /bitshares_toolkit Dry Run 16 and /bitsharesx 0.4.4?

I set my feed in Dry Run 16.  I'm ready on main net as well.  Just need a few more votes to move my delegate up from position #102.

I will compile and give it a shot tomorrow if circumstances at home tomorrow allow me to.

建议：市场引擎事关重大，避免BUG和漏洞攻击对BTSX造成大的冲击，建议执行更为严格的测试，一个case一个case的仔细过，找专业的金融类的专家执行相关测试。

We have guys working on tests full time and are recruiting people on the forums to help (such as in this thread).    We will probably stop to catch our breath once BitAssets are done.  The sheer amount of testing required is huge. 

Right now we have the code loaded with asserts testing all possible pre/post conditions in an attempt to catch anything that goes wrong.  If something is caught the market is automatically frozen until we can identify the fault and fix it.    The goal is to minimize the potential scale of bugs.

Just executed an order that left me with less the .5 XTS. Forgot about the rate hike and now enter trades. Can someone please send funds to XTS8i6mNSoSUwDNySzWBY1RFzoXbspdCykwt9cbCvuKTLZuLb9Rh5. Thanks!

Is this thing still running?

If yes, why my GUI client tries to connect to some network about ~ 5 days old? Any ideas what I did wrong?

Remove the XTS directory... it may be loading up an old config file.

If you really want to begin the market engine now
I suggest you should begin the asset one by one, and all delegate should follow you.
If all 25 assets begin together, I doubt some asset maybe can  issue 0 asset at the beginning, for the reason like market depth limit
If the price of XTS is double, these asset which still have not issues success or issue a little, can not running smooth.
because the average price is too low, and the short price is limited to the low price, but nobody will ask at that price.

My recommendation to delegates is to only enable one market at a time.  BitUSD first.  This will minimize the risk to the network in the event that a market bug is found after launch.     As long as all delegates upgrade to the same version prior to enabling trading (by publishing 51 price feeds) then things should go smoothly.   All "hard-fork-changes" are in logic gated by the 51 price feed requirement.

Can you begin personal assets,such as ROSE?

without bid order, the price will never change to follow the real price.

I think you are right.... damn.

Both sections were wrong...  I have fixed it in the code.  I think it will avoid a hard fork because the price hasn't moved to the point that it would matter.

What will happen exactly when over 50 delegates publish their price feeds? <br /><br />1\ The testing network will be stopped and the formal version will be released very soon?<br /><br />or<br /><br />2\ It just means this run is successful and we might have more testings?<br/>

Here are my questions:

- What is the 27.6359 USD in the top left?

This is no longer relevant for market-issued assets and has been removed just now. For user-issued assets, this represents the accumulated fees of that asset which will be traded for XTS once at least 10,000 shares have been accumulated to avoid dust.

Here are my questions:

- What is the 27.6359 USD in the top left?
- What is "minimum cover price"?

I'm checking the accounting.  I see that:

Code: [Select]

881910 + 1200000 + 2000000 = 4,081,910
1400000 + 1400000 + 1780000 + 17799.99998 + 17800 + 178800 + 180 + 36180 + 18200 + 17600 + 88000 + 100000 = 5,054,559.99999

So the Bid Depth is the sum of XTS Bid Quantity, and Ask Depth is sum of the total XTS Quantity of Ask orders plus total Collateral for Margin Call orders.  This fact should probably be documented somewhere.

Bytemaster please ask DSL to host a PPA repository for linux binaries. User maqifrnswa has already set it up,
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3464
 Ubuntu PPA: https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/ubuntu/bitshares

DSL just needs to host it in own name and provide link to it along with other downloads.

Linux users should not be forced to compile.

[toast]

someone connected with an old chain  -.-

we're adding a checkpoint on block 1 and then will push a new version

[codinat]

wow

[ripplexiaoshan]

What will happen exactly when over 50 delegates publish their price feeds?

1\ The testing network will be stopped and the formal version will be released very soon?

or

2\ It just means this run is successful and we might have more testings?

[tonyk]

Come on... just finished building it...
If somebody who installed linux for the first time ever last Sunday,can do it, they can do it too...
 

Oho seems like the wrong one 4 days old chain..hm

Hi, please provide some funds:
XTS5JGviZahkP7oXFLBaGv4mGmWyQjzWgh2SFptUQqbtnGUD3PYwu


Objective:
-To have between 1 and 3 % of the total money supply (total XTS).
-Do some market activities, trying to win the bounty.

The success of those action are in no way guaranteed to work, so send funds you will not need for your own testing.
If however the 'attack' is successful and I do win the bounty it will be split the flowing way:
2/3 will be proportionally split between people that send funds according to the amount sent.
1/3 will be kept by me.

If you do send funds and later decide that you need them back, I will try to accommodate such requests.(but will exclude those senders and amount, in case we need to split the bounty)
In the event that more than 3% of total XTS supply is sent, I will return such amounts ASAP.

Thanks in advance, tonyk.

Just sent you some funds.... 5 mill. XTS

Instruction on closing a short position (FROM YOUR OWN bitAsset), if you are also long the same asset, please!

wallet_market_cover <from_account_name> <quantity> <quantity_symbol> <order_id>

ie:

wallet_market_cover dan 100 USD XTS.....

You only get your collateral back when you cover 100% of the balance.

List your cover orders with

wallet_market_order_list USD XTS

hoooo ... and I am off for a kickoff meeting tomorrow ... arg .. that sux

[bytemaster]

We have started a new Dry Run to test everything as we prepare to launch the markets and have things go live...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zje91xTd6Lc

We are calling everyone into service to prevent Armageddon when we turn on BitAssets.   Your mission is to find and exploit any holes in the market engine before the hard fork lands tomorrow.   If you are successful in your mission to break the market engine there is a $5000 BitUSD bounty for a bug that causes us to delay enabling the markets via price feeds. 

Delegates, you should be watching this test.  When you feel this test has been proven to your satisfaction, then publish a price feed for BitUSD on the main network.  Once 50 delegates publish a price feed we will have the dawn of a new era in crypto currencies.

Good luck!
