Stakeholder Proposals / Re: 58 delegates - Start trading INDEXES of Hang Seng, Shenzhen Composite, and Nikke
« on: June 17, 2015, 08:23:12 pm »Which is the simplest option to get everyone trading?
They both have the same complexity because you have to get all the delegates to update their scripts again either way. Here are some pros/cons:
new MPAs
Cons:
* Cost of registration for new MPA names is 5000 BTS / name
* Redundency - the first set of MPAs will continue to exist, with the better names, since the new ones would need to be unique
Pros:
* Can keep the CNY 1:1 pricing
price in BTS
Cons:
* Prices will be less familiar to the chinese traders if a /CNY market becomes available
Pros:
* Cheap to do
* Purity of pricing in BTS, just like the other MPAs
Scale existing CNY pricing down by 1000 (or some other number)
Cons:
* Prices will be unfamiliar to the chinese traders
* Feels dirty
Pros:
* Cheap to do
We're a little bit stuck between a rock and a hard place here...
That's a pretty accurate overview of what our options are, as far as I can tell. None feels perfect, but this should be solved in BitShares 2.0 anyway and in the meantime, I would also slightly prefer the 2nd option, same as Monsterer, it seems the cleanest and has another advantage if we do it: price value shown on the screen will be same in BitShares 0.9.x (as priced in BTS) and in BitShares 2.0 (as it will be priced in the native currency, but the main market will also be ASSET/NATIVE_CUR instead of ASSET/BTS, so the displayed value ends up being the same).
If we have a consensus on the way forward, then I will implement it as soon as possible, but we should wait for all scripts to be updated (xeroc, alt) in the same way before telling the delegates to upgrade, so as to try not to have a broken feed (some delegates publishing in BTS, some publishing in CNY, JPY, ...)
This is fixed now. I did release it on pypi though, so "pip install --upgrade" would have worked, but you're right, I should be more careful.
), I managed to work more on the feeds and I now have all 5 market indices (including SHANGHAI) working reliably.
