FLOT NSR Operations (buy side)

[MatthewLM]

What is the data? I don’t really understand what is going on and why liquidity is being held back from the markets. Could you explain it for someone that’s not been following 100%?

[jooize]

We may have managed liquidity funds improperly according to how the system was intended to function, which was designed by him. In that aspect we may be incompetent.

While FLOT is intended to manage liquidity funds, shareholders haven’t given us straight commands on how to proceed in this situation, leaving us to do what we believe is right, where you have made difficult decisions. You’ve even repeatedly pleaded to shareholders to tell us what to do.

Perhaps motions effectively say we should never have held back liquidity.

In a nutshell:
the BTC surge started to empty buy side.
One reason was the low reserve, which was that low because of buybacks (according to a motion created by Jordan and approved by shareholders).
Park rates and NSR sales weren’t able to cover that loss of BTC on buy side.
The buyside offset was increased to support the peg at an albeit degraded peg.
I’m going to be sacrificed, because it’s mainly because of my advocating that it happened this way.
People who sold NSR during buybacks can buy NSR back cheaply now and even cheaper soon, the cheaper the more desperate the network looks.
Having no peg at all instread of a degraded peg (I’m waiting for a dump, that drains all remaining funds at 5% offset, btw.) might do those who want to buy NSR a favour by pushing the NSR rate down even further.
If they play it right, they might end up with more NSR than before the buyback and still have some BTC left.
Well done.

Thanks for the reply.

What about the BTC FLOT funds? How are those being utilised? Do they get eaten too quickly?

Does Nu need a bailout? Perhaps someone (one or more shareholders with available funds) willing to place plenty of buy-side liquidity by purchasing NSR or NBT directly. Is there any idea about how much money is needed to support the peg and provide enough liquidity until things should hopefully re-balance?

Anyone that looks to devalue the peg for the purpose of buying NuShares is an idiot as they risk destroying Nu completely. I do hope no one is that stupid.

[MatthewLM]

There’s been little to no time for motions though has there? I thought the point of FLOT operations was to deal with liquidity in a timely manner without needing to ask shareholders.

Just posting on the forum can influence FLOT when operating with discretion. I feel that there hasn’t been a well explained argument making it obvious which way to go. I’m still evaluating what I believe after today’s discussion, though I posted a summary anyway.

[masterOfDisaster]

For one position there’s evidence and facts…
For the other position, there’s bold claims and a vision.
One position is represented by the architect.
The other position is represented by a rebel.

You can associate two of the statements with each other, if you pick the right ones.
Whom will you believe?

I suggest you have a close look at how fast funds were drained from NuLagoon Tube (0.1% spread; empty on 2016-05-27), ALP (soon after), @Cybnate’s PyBots (more or less at the same time) and when I tried to revive the liquidity provision on Poloniex, from my NuBot at 2% buyside offset.

I’m too lazy to provide links for all this.
The situation tires me.
Have a look at the jumps BTC made since 2016-05-27.

There’s only one likely assumption: the buyside would be empty, if not for me.
That’s why I need to be fired (I plegded guilty already). I have a voice. You need to come with arguments and not only with claims, if you want to oppose me. It’s inconvenient having me here, if I interfer with an agenda, I don’t really understand. This is not only about liquidity provision!

[masterOfDisaster]

Have another one sell NSR. I’m tired.

Where is the NSR fund now?

[jooize]

FLOT NSR Multisig #1 contains 22,600,006 NSR.
2,400,000 NSR was sent to @masterOfDisaster.

1. Will the entire or enough of FLOT NSR sign transactions for selling NuShares? Otherwise we’ll have to plan accordingly.
2. How much should be sold at which price and how rapidly? I have no idea myself unfortunately, so people will need to suggest something.
3. Who can sell the NuShares? I’m willing to put the orders on the books assuming I get directives. Do I need a separate Poloniex account that I link to my personal one? An alternative is holding an auction, but I don’t know how.

@Dhume @ttutdxh @cryptog @mhps @masterOfDisaster

These are not fun times. We need you all.

[mhps]

i can sign. but i will be traveling starting ~12 hr from now. Can @tomjoad help selling nsr as he has account that can withdraw mre than 2000usd a day

[mhps]

How much should be sold at which price and how rapidly?

sell $2000 a day is pretty good according to my suggested plan.

[cryptog]

I am ok with 2k per day.

[jooize]

How do I create an account linked to my primary one on Poloniex?

Okay, that’s super easy.

1. Have an account.
2. Create new account.
3. Login to desired primary account.
4. https://poloniex.com/linkedAccounts
5. Enter credentials of new account.

Brilliant. I’m not getting the confirmation email. Contacted support.

[jooize]

Unless a motion is passed or a very convincing argument is made I will proceed with NuShare sales when I can assuming FLOT NSR trusts me and doesn’t decline by discretion.

There are some alternative approaches posted.

• Protocol Level Burning of NBT in Exchange for NSR at Dynamic Rate Similar to Park Rates / Voting
• [Discussion] Alternative plan for Nu to wither this storm
• [Draft] 1k USD shareholder pledge to buy NuShares
• [Draft] BKS NuShares investment plan
• Seeded auction? https://github.com/Nagalim/SeededNuAuction
• …

[Dhume]

It would be great if you would be willing to be the auctioneer jooize! What do you think of my proposal of setting a minimum price as I outlined in my proposal?

[jooize]

That does seem like a good idea! I have to sleep now. I’ll read up and understand it fully tomorrow. Hopefully, Poloniex will have processed my support ticket by then as well.

[henry]

@jooize, it is important that you know NSR auction is better hold on NBT or on both NBT and BTC. If there is not a NSR/NBT exchange, you have to do it manually.

[crypto_coiner]

We’re trusted to do liquidity operations, not decide what development Nu pays for.

Right

[jooize]

No response from Poloniex … Sent another message asking them to confirm the account manually.

I would really rather not mix the accounting.
