Title: List of market tools
Post by: santaclause102 on October 01, 2014, 08:03:43 am
I lost a bit the overview of all the tools that can be used to tweak the market mechanics. I find it useful to have a list when trying to figure out how things can be improved. May it help others too.

- Varying required collateral
- Varying fees offered by the side that has abundance
- price feed restrictions for lenders / borrowers (within a range, at par)
- a fund for a black swan event to cover bitusd (funded by market fees)
- varying the distribution of market fees (yield) either to bitusd or btsx holders
- expiration dates of shorts / maximum short holding periods
- market adjusted interest rates (bitusd5 etc.; problem: who determines the rate?)
- hardcoded interest rate (I don't know how that would work....?)

What else is implemented or has been suggested or could make sense if we look at established financial markets?
