There are no buy orders at all there at the moment?

I had an idea how to create depth and liquidity for MPAs

There should be an option on the trade page that says buy or sell at live price feed which will place an order on the books at the settlement price but crucially your order will move with the price feed so you don't have to keep updating it.

Yeah, that may help and could make things a lot simpler as well imo.

I might be the only one that thinks like this, but on

https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/market/BTS_USD

On the sell side in brackets I'd like to see the deviation from the peg based on the feed price.

So on the buy side I would see trades starting at for example ($0.98) and on the sell side ($1.02)

The main thing I want to know (Without working it out) is how much a premium over the peg I am paying when buying BitUSD and vice versa.

Then you just place an order at $0.98 and you will be filled when BitUSD is selling 2% below the feed.

Sure that kind of relative tracking is hard to implement though.

yes this is exactly what we need.

Q) Why is there a problem implementing pegged assets?

A) The primary answer is that there can be no redeemability to the real asset on chain, for obvious reasons (since fiat/gold/silver/oil are not digital in the first place).

But bitcoin is on a chain and BItBTC is still illiquid , there is no reason anyone would hold bitbtc as its more expensive, less secure, not widely used, iliquid, subject to margin calls/ forced settlement

Q) Is there another design which doesn't have the same biased risk profile, or is this just a natural consequence of not having redeemability?

A) Discuss

Yes as someone else in this thread has already said other assets should be able to be held as collateral.
The Ultimate design in my opinion would be real bitcoin being locked into the bitshares blockchain as a sidechain and then this could be used for collateral instead of BTS.

working now but was down for about 3 hours for me

thanks

could you not have it run parallel with electron-io
or at least buy the name electron instead of electron-io

 

A reverse stock split where the number bitshares is reduced but the same value is kept could be useful from a marketing perspective.

if for every 3 bts owned people got 1 bts the value of 1 bts would be about a cent and easier to think about.
Also a sub 1 billion number of shares in existence maybe more appealing to some people.

I know lots of people don't take it very seriously but a think an integrated chat box /troll box should be prioritised.

It can act as a free customer service instead of people having to scroll through pages and pages on this forum which takes them away from the actual exchange.
