I don’t know. Considering that almost all US-NBT trades happen on Poloniex, I think this exchange is important.
At the moment the liquidity is provided by ALP (NuPool; still having some trouble as it seems), NuLagoon and 3 bots (2 NuBots, 1 PyBot).
I think my NuBot isn’t really necessary. It’s a redundant operation that was gratefully accepted the last 6 weeks, because it was free of cost.
You can never know
I fear that violates the motion on which my gateway operation is based upon:
I agree that it would be convenient to have me send the funds directly to @zoro’s gateway, but I’d prefer sticking to the terms. I’ll withdraw the NBT and BTC to FLOT multisig.
Depending on how you calculate (I think 2016-04-20 was the first day for which the daily fee applied) it’s 75 NBT or 90 NBT until today.
I thought about waiving the fee, but after thinking twice (and reminding me of how important it is to keep the awareness of NSR holders high), I tend to raise the daily fee.
I agree you shouldn’t waive the fee. You gave a long grace period, and it may put some pressure to improve tracking of these events. We should have a calendar. I began playing a little with one for FLOT cycles, but didn’t enjoy doing it in Calendar.app.
I also support the decommissioning and very much urge MoD to take the well earned fee. You are already doing way to much for free MoD!
Part of the reason is also I feel we’re very high on the amount of liquidity we offer, we’re offering well over 210k liquidity (buy and sell combined) which I feel is a bit much.
Reasoning:
network wide the liquidity is more or less balanced with a slight overweight on buy side, but the Poloniex gateway operations are almost empty on buy side:

No. It is up to FLOT how the gateways are used. I just made a statement regarding prior experience about ALP and MLP liquidity. ALP may stand down whenever the users see fit. NU Lagoon may have a nubot outage at any time (as any gateway) thus the more wall makers we have, the better
@ttutdxh, @woodstockmerkle, @dysconnect what about you?
I’d like to see a reason why you are reluctant to signing this tx that was initiated almost two days ago (Apr 24, 11:04 PM) or your signature
I am not sure whether to sign it right now because it feels we are depleting T4 while the overall liquidity is okay. We need to take back some funds we’ve sent into NuLagoon before, unless we think BTC will drop and believe that NBT sales will solve the problem.
Though the main reason was that we weren’t pinged and I didn’t notice this transaction didn’t go through…
You’re right. Keeping the overall balance in the view is important.
But keeping gateways funded is important, too.
Well done to create an NBT -> BTC exchange tx at NLT (NuLagoon Tube).
This might help getting the 13.2 BTC deposit done:
After 7,000 NBT were traded at NLP, there should be little reason not to deposit funds at @zoro’s gateway, right?
FLOT members need to follow the development closely
If it had been an emergency, I’d have paged the FLOT members who can sign it; but I saw no emergency.
I only paged them recently, because I wanted to raise awareness to this tx.
There will then be strong reason. But if I have to choose one depleted gateway and almost delepleted T4 when overall there is an overall balance, I will keep the coins in T4.
Remember a year ago when the buy side liquidity was low, we let bittrex run drry for days in a row.
