Title: Committee proposals to change price feed producers of bitCNY and bitUSD
Post by: abit on October 16, 2019, 12:23:59 pm
There is an ongoing discussion about a protocol change that Decouples BitAssets from Platform Governance: https://github.com/bitshares/bsips/pull/238 . Before it finally gets on chain (also possible it won't), the committee can already do something with current protocol.

I created 2 committee proposals to remove the "witness_fed_asset" flag from bitCNY and bitUSD.

https://cryptofresh.com/p/1.10.50330
https://cryptofresh.com/p/1.10.50333

If the proposals got approved by the committee, active witnesses would be no longer responsible for feeding price for bitCNY and bitUSD, instead, the committee would be responsible for explicitly updating the list of feed producers for bitCNY and bitUSD. Other assets won't change this time.

One topic to discuss is, the feed producers will be paid according to their performance. The funds to pay the feed producers are from market fees. (Note that bitCNY has much higher market fee income than bitUSD.)

The initial price feed producers would be active witnesses, they'll not get paid in the beginning.

If you are an active witness, please reply in this thread about your plan, e.g. will stop feeding, or feed the market price, or feed by BSIP76 rules, or etc, for which asset.

If you aren't an active witness, but have interest in feeding price for bitCNY and/or bitUSD, please also leave your message.

Thanks for participation.

Are you 100% certain of this? I don't want to end up with expiring feeds if this was not the case!

Create just private MPA with your homy, stop scamming bitAssets

Witnesses are busy, is not uncommon witnesses never check price feed and let it expire for few days before someone inform them. I believe if committee empower a group of oracles/price feed producers who can monitor and correct price feed 24/7 would be much better.

By what standard will new price feeders, which will need to be approved by the committee need to meet? What standards on price will the committee set? I am happy to consider any formulas for price feeding. This is very important to understand

It's my proposal. Anyone who have a different proposal please describe it.

By what standard will new price feeders, which will need to be approved by the committee need to meet? What standards on price will the committee set? I am happy to consider any formulas for price feeding. This is very important to understand
What's your proposal about the standards? I'm interested to hear.

Please describe what/how you will do, what resources do you have, and etc.

As an active witness (in.abit) I'd like to continue feeding price for bitCNY and bitUSD according to the consensus, at this moment, the voting result of BSIP76.

I like very much the idea from Dan Notenstein aka blocktrades to use BitShares Decentralized Exchange (DEX) market for BitUSD and BitCNY pricefeeds.

Maybe if we combine his idea with defences against several attack vectors on low liquidity markets(?), like triggering feed thresholds on certain limit down/up occasions or just feeding with dex prices only when feeds prices remains between  min/max deviation from recent average prices (24h maybe etc.). I think blocktrades idea is worth a serious debate! What do you think guys?

There is currently no market on DEX.500k BTS dump and you tank the price to 0

That would be just a spike. We can defend against such kind of attacks. But consider that changing price-feeds source to the dex would very fast increase liquidity in my opinion because of new opportunity's for profit... I see many willing to open limit orders or using the DEX bot...

Thanks @abit . I support this.

I like very much the idea from Dan Notenstein aka blocktrades to use BitShares Decentralized Exchange (DEX) market for BitUSD and BitCNY pricefeeds.

I have often pointed out that this will create a feedback loop, because the feed price already affects trading activity on the DEX. Feedback loops are inherently unstable and dangerous, and should be avoided.

It is right. These BSIP76 innovations are necessary. We understand the importance of adjustments. This offer is necessary for the Bitshares at the moment. We support this proposal.

As a committee member, I support the decoupling of price feeding from block production, making them two separate roles.
Therefore I am supporting the two committee proposals.

I am also willing to feed prices for BitUSD and BitCNY according to what is deemed necessary by stakeholders through their achieving-consensus rules.

And there you have it. Witnesses are willing to do the price feed (because, wow - they are the most qualified?) and there is no need to de-couple the price feeding from witnesses. But there is a need to to stop the fake price feeding and fix the smart coins to fulfill the DEX promise of a smart coin being the same value as the RL asset it represents.

I don't really understand the logic of this. What is being said here is that the committee is free to change the roles of witnesses. Is that actually the case?

according to the community's consensus.

There is no consensus wrt the price feed. A decision was made by a majority of stake.

Nobody supports manipulation of feeds. Just following majority of stake voting. If witnesses would do what ever they personally wanted then we would have probably a bigger problem. What will you say if it ends up in favour of bts future? I see it just as a transition period with no permanent bad results.

The only thing you can do is trying to convince stake holders for their vote "mistake".  Calling names and blaming will not get you there.

yep faking feeds is just following the orders, I've already heard it somewhere,
I don't care how you excuse yourself when you supporting fraud, but fraud is a fraud.
