FLOT BTC Operations (buy side)

Liquidity
#152

Not immediately, but it is NuLagoon’s responsibility to help with that. This is an attempt to avoid the reflexive act of sending funds to your gateway, and to make use of currently available facilities.

This motion also dictates that the T1 liquidity maintained by NuLagoon is a function of the total liquidity balance of the network, so refilling T3 of NuLagoon is in fact a way to ensure some amount of balance T1, albeit not immediately and completely. I’m moving away from total support of Poloniex buy side and I try to favor automated off-exchange solutions. We can ping @henry to put more emphasis on T1 Poloniex and discuss with us how to set up NuBot with acceptable spreads.

I appreciated your explanation.

Still I find it funny alarming that balancing seems to have priority over directly supporting the peg.
Something’s wrong here - speaking of NuLagoon, of course.
…a lot of money for a lot of passiveness…

Shouldn’t T1 be of paramount importance for a liquidity operation at an exchange already?
Sorry for my tone, but I’m on the ropes, even more than that.

Since 2016-01-15 Poloniex kept me busy, awake, under heavy stress, always watching, always tuning parameters, watching again, refining the offset.
I converted first one gateway (as gateway operating on T1), then the second gateway to dual side mode to improve the reliability and redundancy of their T1.1/T2 operation.
I realized that I can’t operate them on as gateway on T1 without running out of funds and keeping the FLOT busy with permanent deposit requests while I wouldn’t be able to withdraw the funds in an acceptable time.
Dual side mode was the only answer to that riddle.
FLOT requests to deposit funds decreased, right? And that in the face of an empty ALP buy side for a good part of the time and no backup fro NuLagoon.

Most cries for help went unanswered.
It looks like NSR holders don’t care as they are obliged to, nowadays.
The NuBots there could keep the peg so far, but I lost something else.

The tiered liquidity model has too much friction.
That’s why I proposed a radical solution.
The most helpful comment there is, that I write too much. True. I will stop that.

The NSR holders don’t even think the dual side bots, which play a significant role in keeping the peg on Poloniex for so long now, should formally be allowed:

Pasted image1302×476 38.3 KB

Without subsequently filing a permit of what I do, I remain a breaker of terms. I’m not allowed to operate NuBots on Poloniex!
I interpret it as dual side NuBots are not wanted. Of course I’ll follow that vote.

I will decommission the Poloniex NuBots and withdraw all funds to FLOT before I need to go on a trip in February. I can’t maintain them from there. It’s too risky to use them, have funds there, if I can’t do anything from where I will be.

It’s too late anyway.
I’m burned out.

The hopes have been that NuLagoon Tube could displace some of T1 Poloniex. @henry intended it to be T1, and probably made a judgement to divert from Poloniex, but volume still didn’t happen outside Poloniex.

I also suspect that Poloniex NBT/BTC is actively taken advantage of, as it is indeed a quite exploitable - pybot or NuBot malfunctions and then it’s free money. When I tried NuPool I see that Poloniex rejects the API requests quite often compared to Bittrex, so these mishaps occur quite often.

I put in some of my own BTC for T1 and they were bought into almost immediately, and far from I imagined the process of balancing via NuLagoon wasn’t easy, withdrawing from and depositing to Poloniex being the largest bottleneck.

The reversed display also makes human trading on Poloniex rather unintuitive and contributes to our limbo. I suspect there are bots monitoring Poloniex for arbitrage opportunities, with very few humans trying to balance out the effects.

I second that suspicion.
It could explain why an offset of 1% is so helpful in keeping the peg.

And those bots would help filling the buy side in “single side only” exchanges.
But this is, of course, speaking of an unwanted paradigm change in liquidity provision…

#156

So you are proposing to favor NuLagoon over Polo. I think I can vibrate with that. After all, what is important is to protect the peg not the trade volume.

I am sorry to have you frustrated.
I think with some insistence we can get it to pass.[quote=“masterOfDisaster, post:153, topic:3117”]

If the motion does not pass before your trip and you decide to decommission the bots, what choice do we have if the peg is endangered on Polo? I think we will have to reduce drastically the operations of NuPool or use T5.

#157

It was no one in particular and especially not you!
But I think, this didn’t come out of the blue.

Even if the motion passes, it’s the rational choice to decommission them. I can’t maintain them from there.
I would still be glad of receiving a subsequently filed permission for my activity.

From mid November last year on I encouraged people to help at Poloniex.
The time’s running out, but it’s not yet too late.

Support this:

Draft an own proposal. Decentralize the NuBot operations.

#158

While I have not yet reached the $1000 lower limit, I would appreciate it if you involve my T3 address in the upcomming buyback calculation. I calculate based on my last price entry that I could use around 3 BTC at this address if you don’t mind (I currently have 3.34649 BTC):

Do you intend to resume your dual bot operations after coming back from your trip and assuming that the motion passed?

Do we still need this proposal to pass given this?

I might try my hand at crafting a txn next week. y’all forgot the T3, hehe. No big deal, I still have some buy side and plenty of sell side left. Maybe this week will see people buying back all the nbt they sold last week.

#166

Right.
But I forgot only the sell side of your T3 custodianship in the calculation :wink:
After all it shouldn’t have mattered much…

Refilling the BTC can be made separately - forgot that as well…

#167

don’t worry about the T3 stuff, just got a trade.
approx. current reserves: $1714.96 NBT | $3376.16 BTC

#168

My private BTC multisig key was compromized. I am working with @ttutdxh to replace my key.
The probability that someone gets my key is low. Using it to sign something I don’t want to sign and causing harm is even less probable because 4 other FLOT members have to sign it. Still I will explain what happened after a new address is made and the current one is not used.

#169

I have updated my key post by adding comments with the new key and URL to this post.

@ttutdxh has merged my pull request to make the change to cointoolkit.

@masterOfDisaster can you please update OP to change my quoted text from the key post?
edit to add: the transaction in OP will need to be changed although the current one is needed to transfer fund, I suppose.

#170

Shouldn’t we create a new multisig address using your new pubkey and transfer all funds there?

#171

Yes, I think that is the right procedure. Was it @ttutdxh who made the last multisig address? I can make one but Imaybe we should we let @ttutdxh do it ?
