FLOT NSR Operations (buy side)

There is a motion up for voting that would make consensus around nsr sales. We have also instituted park rates, which will trigger an nsr sale in a few weeks if that mentioned motion is not passed. FLOT shouldnt have to think too hard about when to sell nsr. When to sell the NuSafe contract is another question.

I misinterpreted that output.
Should’ve looked in the broadcast liquidity…

Nusafe should be used when BTC price crashes, or when BTC in T4 runs dry.
Parking should be used before NSR sales.

That is what I think.

I agree. I think we should first use parking rates before selling nsr. By buying time, we may get through a temporary nubits demand slump to reach a point where we have a significant demand. That significant demand would make us sell a significant number of nubits, to replenish our btc reserves which would be way higher than the nubits we would have to pay as interest.

Ok, the BTC reserve is dwindling rapidly and the park rates don’t rise (not to speak of the parked NBT).
What now?
Wait until no BTC are left?
I get back to sleep in that case.
Wake me once the peg has been lost.

I have suggested effective park rates in the park rate thread.

Pool is not positive. There will be no NSR buyback or PPC reserve filling next week.


We are $50k in the red.

Thank you for your efforts!

So my gut was not that far off.
Even if we emptied NuSafe, we would still be $20k short.
The question should rather be how to sell NSR than when or how many.

What about inverting NSR buybacks and buying NSR at the market?
@Nagalim would you be available as executor?
Based on not yet passed motions we’re in an area in which selling $2.5k NBT were considered appropriate.

Or is doing a blind auction preferred?

Just one remark:

will change soon.
47 BTC are being transferred to NuLagoon Tube in exchange for approx. $20k in NBT.

I am standing by ready to jump in with Nusafe when needed, I do feel park rates should be the first option and I don’t understand why they haven’t been raised yet. If park rates fail to prove successful in increasing demand we should start selling NSR. Nusafe funds can be accessed on fairly short notice so I don’t feel we’re already at the “emergency” stage that warrants draining the funds without shareholder vote. However if there is a clear consensus for starting to drain funds now I would comply.

Edit: After the next tx is signed there should be about 35 BTC left in FLOT multisig and roughly 60 BTC held by Jordan + Nusafe right?

Jordan has 60 BTC left next to FLOT and NuSafe.
Shareholders already vote - against increasing the park rate.

Oh, I didn’t know that when were those funds used? Is there a reason we’re not increasing park rates?

Source?

Thank you for correcting me.
I fixed my post.
I read the balance from the wrong line…

None that I’m awarw of.
My best guess is: NSR holders don’t follow or don’t care.

So 95 BTC + Nusafe left, that is way to low and the lowest we’ve been in like a year I think?

Are there just to many “inactive” shareholders to get park rates up? Might be time to start thinking of a direct emergency messaging system through the clients (we could use one for BKS aswell) to reach minters who don’t pay attention to the forum.

There are too many NSR holders that don’t visit the forum, don’t visit ALix, don’t look into the broadcast liquidity.
I have a solution that is similar to this one: [Draft] BKS grant to bring protocol 4.0 votes above 90% :wink:

It’s just too convenient to have people working for free, liquidity pool operators working cheaply and some FLOT members working for peanuts compared to taking responsibility…

Maybe we could do the decimation of shares (to make the numbers smaller) at the same time :wink:

Yes, this parking situation is absolutely unacceptable. The more I think about your BKS proposal, the more I think it would be a good idea to get rid of the dead weight. The same should happen with NSR if this continues to happen. There need to be severe consequences to shareholder passivity.

Putting the majority of Nu and B&C into the hands of people who are constantly minting and paying attention would significantly raise the security of both networks, not to mention voting and participation, while downgrading the negative effect that passive shareholders have on operations. One thing is for sure, Nu CANNOT run correctly if it isn’t in control of people who care and take action when needed.

Those are consequences of underestimating influence of passive voting and Nagalim’s and creon’s efforts to address and solve the problem on time.

For the record: I won’t push the NSR sale any further, nor will I monitor the liquidity situation closely.
I will - of course! - be available to sign FLOT tx or explain why I refuse to do that.

We need unspent transaction IDs for FLOT NSR Multisig #1 (SvtGbNjWE49pTM2TiUZrYKSNkxTJx75mmC). How to get them without NuExplorer?


Ahh! We have NuExplorer at nuexplorer.ddns.net.
