@assistant liquidity
Hi @jooize
The current total liquidity in the Nu network is:
Bid: 82344.3732 NBT (52.21%)
Ask: 75378.3423 NBT (47.79%)
It is broken down in the following manner:
Tier 1:
Bid: 35670.1712 NBT
Ask: 29929.6404 NBT
Tier 2:
Bid: 22728.84 NBT
Ask: 16716.7019 NBT
Tier 3:
Bid: 23943.862 NBT
Ask: 28732.0 NBT
If you look at the Poloniex order book (NBT/BTC) you see thereās little NBT on sale.
As long as this issue:
isnāt resolved, Iād rather believe ALiX.
It could very well be the case that not only my gateway custodial address has āghostā liquidity - and I donāt know how to remove it!
getliquiditydetails
might show more of that.

Polo sell = 0 right now.
My Poloās NBT address = BGB4EtNQ5tvP1CEeR86Br2jiBs5uc8DfPm
Jordan or FLOT please sent me a BTC address to sent 15 BTC ASAP
and then you may sent me the NBTs.
thanks
10,000 sent by FLOT have been credited by the Poloniex gateway account:
I will restart NuBot to initiate the order placement (otherwise we would have to wait until the price moves enough to trigger action).

[c.n.n.s.S.StrategySecondaryPegUtils:246]
It seems my understanding of the NuBot configuration parameters is not perfectly accurate. Iād have expected to find 3 orders sized 2,000.
But at least there are 2,000 on order that will be replenished as long as funds are available.
I just realized thereās a practical difference in using the entry/exit gateways and trading with tier 3; basically, if we want to balance a 20k difference, we should trade 10k with tier 3, but for the gateways we should inject 20k instead.
It depends.
If you expect at least half of the funds being traded soon, you are right, 20k would be needed.
If you just want to provide some liquidity with no expectation of the trading volume, 10k might be fine.
Iām hesitant with using the gateways as I still consider them a measure of last resort.
Regarding the gateway:
no NBT (of the last deposit of 10,000) have been sold so far.
But we (the FLOT) can for sure initiate another deposit of 10k volume just to balance the T1-3 liquidity (it wouldnāt lead to unbalanced Poloniex walls) for the moment and see where we get from there.
edit: in case the FLOT wants to send another 10,000 NBT to the gateway, this transaction can be used.

Thereās no need to hurry (10,000 NBT are in the account ready to be sold; 2,000 are on the order book) and Iād feel slightly more comfortable not having 20,000 USD value on the gateway account.
Thereās no sign for it, but if things go pear-shaped at Poloniex, Nu loses funds. The funds on the gateway are Nu property.
Are you still up for this?
Iāve adjusted the settings of the NBT sell side gateway.
Now up to 3,000 NBT are on the order book (depending on funds in the account).
As I needed to restart NuBot to activate the settings, there are at the moment 3,000 NBT on T1 from the gateway.
ALiX looks a little bit better now
Btw. - 650 NBT have already been traded for BTC since the gateway was funded.

I run nud on the same RaPi2 on which I run the 2 NuBot instances for the Poloniex gateway function (buy side, sell side).
In total nud and 2 NuBot instances required so much RAM that the RaPi2 swapped heavily degrading performance and reducing reliability.
I stopped the NuBot of the buy side gateway as only the sell side gateway is funded at the moment. I can start the buy side gateway in very short time if need be.
As running both buy side and sell side gateway at the same time is not required/intended/recommended and the funding of the buy side with FLOT funds would likely grab my attention, I intend to keep the buy side bot shut down.
I will terminate the sell side NuBot as soon the funds (exchanged funds as well as not exchanged ones) have been withdrawn from the Poloniex account.
Current sell side gateway status is:

2,387 NBT have been exchanged to BTC.
5,527 NBT remain to be exchanged.
2,100 NBT of the 5,527 NBT are currently on order.
T1 buy and sell side are overall almost balanced, while Poloniex and BTER have complementary high/low buy and sell sides.
Outlook: the gateways will very soon not be āalways onā, but can be activated with short lead-time.
This will reduce the utility of the gateways as they canāt be used without manual activation (from me) after being funded by e.g. @JordanLee or @FSRT.
As only the FLOT did fund them the last times, Nu might be able to live with that.
If not, additional gateways need to be created.
edit2:
both Poloniex gateways are on standby (and no longer always on) after round five of the NBT entry gateway has been completed exchange wise (withdrawal will take another 24 hours).
It is true that the register process is new and a little complecated to many NuLagoon Tube users. We will manually register address pairs for some of users in the community.
Just to clarify, what I meant was registering FLOT sell side and buybside addresses, because registering requires a lot of signatures.

Looks like itās best that we trade with NuLagoon. Weāll probably need to buy 7500 NBT from NuLagoon and send 5000 NBT to a gateway. @henry FLOT members @Dhume @woodstockmerkle @masterOfDisaster @jooize @ttutdxh @cryptog @mhps please comment on trading using NuLagoon Tube; if thatās the case I wish that the transaction fee and the spread can be waived. Given the prices on Poloniex I suggest trading at the price 430.2.
Looking at ALiX I donāt see need for such a volume:
Single exchanges like e.g. bittrex are unbalanced and have a much lower bid side.
We wonāt get that fixed by sending 5,000 NBT to thePoloniex gateway. If we wanted to sort liquidity on Poloniex out, weād rather deposit 10 BTC in the gateway account, although I donāt think thatās the way to go.
Using FLOT trying to balance T1 of a single exchange while T1-3 is more or less balanced overall is not good.
Plus I would rather use a moving average instead of a snapshot to base decisions on:
Looking at the MA thereās a trend towards a NBT sell side overweight, but nothing Iād worry about at the moment.
I wish we had the fixed cost reward scheme already. Bittrex would look different with itā¦
edit: a few minutes later:
I would be okay with that, unless we find a private seller willing to sell us alot of Nubit. Maybe @zoro?
Tier 2-3 buy side is about 42% of sell side. Around the time I wrote that post, ALix was like 36% buy side.
Another thing that came to my mind:
we shouldnāt only look at the ratio between buy and sell side, but at the total USD value of funds per side as well.
As long as thereās a minium overall (how much is sufficient?) the peg is not lost.
It would be even better with a minimum at each exchange and the fixed cost compensation scheme will help big time.
With a minimum at each exchange, the peg canāt be lost at even a single exchange.
Scenario: somebody wants to trade 200 BTC for NBT. The sophisticated trader is aware of Nu tools, downloads NuBot, configures it and uses it to place orders to get the 200 BTC exchanged over time.
ALiX will report that as a very big bid on that particular exchange while the liquidity report of the Nu wallet is not aware of that. That BTC seller has no custodial address to broadcast liquidity.
What should we do?
