Regarding the cause of the high NuBits volume:


NuBits is traded on bter.com.   The NuBits devs maintain a bot which trades NuBits on bter, with a very large supply, and low spread.  There were thousands of bitcoins worth of nubits available on the ask, and hundreds of bitcoin worth on the bid side.  The bot fixed the price of NuBits very close to $1. 


On bter, volume in trading bitcoin into USD or CNY is quite low.  Most trades there are between bitocin and altcoins.    If someone had a large amount of bitcoins on bter during the bitcoin price crash last weekend, and they wanted to hedge their position, they couldnt just sell the bitcoins into cash, wait for what they thought was the bottom, and then buy back.  The spread was too large, and the volumes were too low for this to be possible without massive slippage.


However, due to the NuBits bot, and its low spread and high volume, it WAS possible to sell into cash.  And people did this.  Thousands of BTC worth of volume traded back and forth between BTC and NuBits, with NuBits essentially acting like USD.


This is why NuBits had such high volume.



Takeaways:
A market maker bot operating on a small spread, with a large capacity to buy and sell will do a VERY good job at both enforcing a peg, and providing liquidity!   It will be heavily used in the absence of other market makers who are providing liquidity.


I anticipate that there will be a lot of volume in bitUSD as well in the future, once we have a similar market maker bot buying at .995 and selling at 1.005, with hundreds of thousands of bitUSD available on both the bid and ask.

LZ这个意见已经提过多次了，我也很同意，无奈BM不同意。多给BM提建议给他压力试试？
