General Discussion / Re: Insufficient feeds for USD and CNY

Definitely need more delegates to update their feeds more regularly.

I want to add feed info for each delegate to my website, but there's an issue with the command "blockchain_get_feeds_from_delegate" which causes the client to freeze and lose all connections if you batch call the command for multiple delegates. I've registered a github issue for it and Vikram pushed a fix, but either it didn't make it into v0.4.16-RC2 or it didn't fix things. Once that issue gets fixed I'll have the info available on my site..

For now you can always find the feeds per asset on the individual asset pages.

Great website! Has quickly become my favorite.

It took me a while to find the feeds, hidden down below in a dark corner :)

Looks like we are up and running again. Bitsharesblocks shows 54 feeds and my client shows the market again.

Maybe somebody with lots of BTSX should fire a few delegates that are not providing up-to-date feeds.
How can we tell what delegates are and aren't providing feeds? Also, how often are delegates expected to publish feeds? Perhaps delegates feel that the fees are too expensive to provide the network?

Your name sounds like you have lots of BTSX :)

In the client there is a "Delegates" page. Click on one of their names and then on the "Delegate Info" tabs. I think feeds expire after 24 hours.

I haven't yet found a standby delegate with feeds who should be voted in.

This site (http://bitsharesblocks.com/assets) shows that the number of price feeds for USD and CNY has dropped below 51 (50 at the point of writing).
My client (0.4.15-a) cannot load the USD and CNY markets, it gets stuck showing the three circles and an empty GUI. I am using Win7.

I can access the BitBTC/BTSX market. Anybody else having the same issue?

ProtoShares were renamed to PTS due to trademark issues, it's the same thing.

This means ProtoShares and PTS are the same thing. They are also sometimes called BitShares PTS.

BitSharesX (also called BTSX) are different to PTS.

The X in BitSharesX stands for eXchange. BitSharesX is live, it's the final chain. If there is to be any related offspring there will be a snap-shot from itself.

ProtoShares were renamed to PTS due to trademark issues, it's the same thing.

I think that now that the price of BTC, it will be a good idea to implement this
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9075.0
as discussed by emski and drltc.

If you can buy directly bitUSD with BTC it will allow day traders to close their positions at a minimal risk / expense.
Not trustless, not liquid, but trading:

I think this article was compiled by an AI.
If you look at it from that perspective it is actually amazing how good they are by now. Just wait another ten years and you won't notice any difference to a human writer.

Very confusing. I thought if i place an order in advance and wait for the price movement, i will get the short executed.

How do i know when the market is trading above the peg?

you must calculate it everytime manualy !
They must put something like a live ticker somewhere on the gui so we make better decisions and MUCH more orders !!!
It seems something simple to implement using the median published feed...
Wow, i know how to calculate it manually, but i have never seen bitUSD above the USD!

Seems almost not possible to short it then. Why even bother setting up orders *shrug*

Because the anti-shorting mechanism was not active the first days of trading a large amount of BitUSD were created quickly. Now this large amount is depressing the BitUSD price and keeping it far below the peg. BitBTC and BitCNY started slowly and are trading much closer to the peg.

It would be nice that the first page on"Market" on the GUI client
will be designed better so anybody can easily see which markets are active right now and which not!
It's not the best experience to click on different markets just to see they are stil not open....

Yes, scrolling through that list is not very intuitive.
Really cool would be to have a 2-dimensional table, one row and one column for each BitAsset. And then each field colour-coded for how far the best offer in that market is away from the peg.

Since nobody has replied elsewhere...

I now have 2 short orders that were not executed, even though they were on the order book. One at 28.77 and the other at 29.00. I'm missing out on shorting opportunities(or possible losses :D)

Does anyone else experience the same problem?

Your short order "disappears" as soon as the median price feed moves above your price. This is intended behaviour. It is meant to prevent people shorting below the peg.
To short in a market you will have to wait until actual trades happen above the peg.

You can short BitBTC now - that one is trading above the peg at the moment.

gulu, I know you are trying to promote a variable interest rate. But do you think any trader with a time horizon below a month is going to care about any interest rate below 100 % p.a.? And those who would invest their savings in BitAssets for <10 % p.a. come after "Merchant adoption" in your timeline.

Not being allowed to short below the peg is enough "Inside mechanism" for my taste.

Market-making does not change the peg, it only tightens the spread. We do not need more complicated rules muffling short supply. Already BitUSD prices are not made by shorts but by asks (those on the same side of the orderbook as shorts). Accept that for now BitAssets will trade at around 95% and have a ±5% trading range. This will improve over time.

What is needed most to reduce volatility:
Arbitrage possibilities between inside BitShares and outside. The internal BTSX/BitUSD market alone is too one-sided for market-making to be viable and that is because the bid side (those buying BitUSD) is too shallow, not the short side too deep.
I am thinking of a bot that trades BTSX/BitUSD inside and BTSX/CNY on btc38 or bter maintaining constant exposure to BTSX and fiat (ignoring fluctuations in the USD/CNY ratio), but setting one up with my programming skills will consume more time than I have.

What we need most to tighten the peg:
Utility and trust. Both cannot be gained by market engine rule re-design.

Oh, OK, guess I was making this too hard.

So, really on coinmarketcap.com they should be quoting BTSX, not BitsharesX, and XRP, not ripple?

As BitsharesX and Ripple are just platforms, and it is the currency BTSX and XRP that is trading and being quoted.

Brent Allsop

Bitcoin itself has the same differentiation but it's less obvious in wording. There's the protocol and the coin. One is spelt with a capital "B" and one with a small one. I forgot which is which though :)
