Sure, but I wouldn’t want to use polo as feed for polo.
Btw.

The gap seen on Poloniex will be due to the individual NuBot configurations rather than the ALP server itself. The ALP price feed is used to determine how far from the ideal price each order is and whether it deserve rewarding. We can tighten the tolerance on the ALP server but, in the absence of a true feedback system between the ALP server and each NuBot, it is down to the individual LP to ensure their orders meet that tolerance.
There is a multicustodian option in NuBot which most of the active ones will have enabled. That sets a minimum offset and synchronises the bots so that orders are moved within the same small window each minute, which leads to the gap in liquidity.
With that option disabled, the spread can be made smaller but there will be no synchronisation between the bots so they may well consume each others walls. It’s a tricky thing to do to get bots co-ordinated without a centralisation of some sort. The solutions put ion place till now have achieved it to a certain extent but all have their own downsides (minumum spread, pauses in liquidity, centralisation).
To achieve the small spreads that are being talked about we risk the only trades being made between NuBots. There arer lots of options in NuBot and the spread can certainly be bought down. I would just like everyone to be aware that the choices made for how NuBot functions were made based on the experience of it providing liquidity on real exchanges.
Can you clarify what you mean by “the small spreads that are being talked about” ? Are you saying that 1% spread has big wall collision risks?

Don t we have the 18btc in byc flot?
So we could buy it. But we can’t hold it…

we have. but if you throw 18 in, 28 will come out in 10minutes. you need to fend off a wave of accumulated selling pressure to hold a peg. i guess that means 100btc or more. even flot has the monwy it’s better to do this when btc is fallling.

People need to think about the inevitable. A crash in bitcoin price.
PS: 85% of the buying comes from China because some people want to hedge against the devaluation of the Yuan compared to the US dollar.
Reminds me of when the Chinese gov started to impose drastic rules on bitcoin trading in Dec 2013 and then you know what happened next.
Chances are that more than 50% of the mining happens in China. So maybe China no longer has an incentive to crackdown? They control it anyway.
