I could also just drain the pool immediately. The issue is that we don't know how much the PM should cost. If it is set too high it is possible to drain it. If it is set too low then those paying fees in this asset pay too much. I have three different strategies for combating this on three currently running PM's. on REPGENSIXTEEN I have set the CER to .1BTS/1REPGENSIXTEEN. Let me know if these fees are too high. On DEMNOMCLINTON I have set the CER to .4BTS/1DEMNOMCLINTON. We will have to see if this is drained. On REPNOMTRUMP I have left the CER at 1BTS/1REPNOMTRUMP, and have drained the fee pool. Opinions please.
For any asset, the "ideal" CER is around market value.
For binary PMs, the fee pool might not make much sense.
But if REPGENSIXTEEN is trading at 0.2 BTS/ea, that's where you would break even on the fee pool if you set the CER to 0.2. If you set it lower.. at, say 0.1.. then you will have some breathing room and possibly make a profit (assuming you can sell the tokens before they're valued at 0).
IMO.. the easiest solution is to drain the fee pool, get your 2500 BTS back, and don't bother with trying to set the CER and maintaining the pool. (at least at this point in time)
