Did you mean adding EUVIX or JYVIX as smart assets or calculate volatility indexes of bitCNY and bitUSD with respect to BTS? By the way is there a general crypto index (like averaged DJI, but for top 20 coins) and corresponding crypto-volatility index?

I meant bitCNY & bitUSD, however VIX would be an interesting smartcoin too given that you can't directly buy/trade VIX tokens in the fiat market (AFAIK). That said, it broke in february, didn't it? http://fortune.com/2018/02/06/bitcoin-stock-volatility-vix-sec/

bit20 is a relevant index: http://www.bittwenty.com/

Googling found the following information on crypto volatility indexes: (no endorsement)

Neat idea, created a couple quick graphs above to explore the price impact.

What do you think about volatility indexes for the most popular smart assets?

Does the project have a website or anything useful like that? I want to learn about the project without having to sift through a morass of telegram spam.

Anything specific you want to know?

How does this relate to Bitshares?

Hey Customminer,

Trying to use: https://github.com/xeroc/bitshares-pricefeed/blob/master/bitshares_pricefeed/examples/hertz.yaml until I sort out my own pricefeed solution and I get the following error:

AssertionError: You cannot provide a 'price' this way

Are there any adjustments needed to the pricefeed code?

Have you implemented this pull request? https://github.com/xeroc/bitshares-pricefeed/pull/32

I'm not sure why it's not been merged into the master branch yet..

The reference light wallet client (stand alone installed client), openledger, rudex, btsabc, wallet.bitshares.org etc

Interesting. Github? How to become Witness?

AFAIK it's not fully open source yet, you can find out more on the whaleshares discord.

While I find @nasdaq's initiative applaudable, I'd still like to point out that these assets are by no means trustless. They still belong to their original issuer, and they still have many permissions set that would allow the issuer to rip off holders of these assets.

In that light I expect witnesses and committee members to be extra careful and take appropriate measures before supporting them.

The same applies to most of the committee owned/controlled smartcoins - the committee should set the standard & begin removing (entirely disabling) some of the more concerning flags/permissions.
