[Passed] NBT EXIT gateway on Poloniex provided by @masterOfDisaster

[zoro]

We don’t have a reply yet by woolly_sammoth. It could be an error!

[masterOfDisaster]

It can’t be very bad to keep some distance from mid price with this last resort.
@Cybnate’s PyBot will keep a tighter offset, because the PyBot runs within limits of the ALP server.

So there will be a “tiered” offset scheme, sorted by offset:
ALP -> @Cybnate’s PyBot -> your NuBot -> my NuBot

[Nagalim]

The pybot cybnate is running is off her personal server script. She can make the tolerance anything she wants. Shes not trying to get compensated via alp.

[zoro]

ALP -> @Cybnate’s PyBot -> your NuBot -> my NuBot

let me change it a little
Cybnate’s PyBot -> zoro NuBot -> ALP -> MoD NuBot

[Cybnate]

let me change it a littleCybnate’s PyBot -> zoro NuBot -> ALP -> MoD NuBot

I think we can change that back. See this thread.

[zoro]

And we also have to take the new Poloniex’s fee model into consideration.
https://poloniex.com/fees/

[masterOfDisaster]

Yes, we do.
At first glance it’s for the benefit of Nu, because Nu is with the liquidity provision scheme on the “maker” side (for which fees were reduced by 0.05%).
It’s good to make “takers” aware (by increasing the fee by 0.05%) that they need to pay for the “service” of others who provide liquidity.

Maybe I should increase the bot offset to 0.025
My bot is the ideal playground as I expect it to be discontinued quite soon - no later than 2016-04-19

15 BTC have been withdrawn to FLOT:

FLOT BTC Operations (buy side)

FLOT, expect 15 BTC from my Poloniex gateway account. Tx to 1M3khPfXJreaFVbHab5XFEngwhbRh5Nxyi

This was done by my discretion to balance the liquidity situation:

I recommend an appropriate deposit of NBT in turn. Maybe I can craft a tx later.
Would be good to deposit NBT to @zoro’s and my gateway in the same tx as he followed the recommendation to balance as well.

The funds arrived and are used by NuBot to support the peg:

Decommissioning of the gateway has been initiated:

FLOT BTC Operations (buy side)

5 of 5 necessary votes from FLOT members (@dysconnect, @cryptog, @masterOfDisaster, @mhps, @Dhume ) to cease operation,

I’ll withdraw the NBT and BTC to FLOT multisig soon and have the gateway unattended on standby afterwards.

The funds on the account exceed my daily withdrawal limit.
I’ve requested a withdrawal of all BTC funds and 10,000 NBT:

30.35 BTC to FLOT multisig address 3HikFkS2Zinab1TJq7dqp6wSPyLu7i7bhe; tx ID 019e9bf9e4bd93444192a3a31326af75c43c63719f589d81d4f61f9142ff0e67

10,000 NBT to FLOT multisig address BqyRzFtWXDmjxrYpyJD42MLE5xc8FrB4js; tx ID 5cf7ccc3f856a4ccf786c1ad1bb95fddd79131c66bf37194944f21486a7b5809

8,354 NBT wait for the reset of the withdrawal limit to be withdrawn.

The gateway operation ended on day 6 after the grace period was over.
Based on a daily fee of 15 NBT

[Passed] motion to permit dual side NuBot on Poloniex

a fee of daily 15 NBT applies

I’ll create a grant for 90 NBT.

I could have taken the fee from the account funds in compliance with the motion, but as I need a new liquidity broadcast address in a few weeks anyway (my current one is soon 6 months old), making a grant seems to be the clean way.

[masterOfDisaster]

8,354 NBT to FLOT multisig address BqyRzFtWXDmjxrYpyJD42MLE5xc8FrB4js; tx ID f8a5d428eee000a2ba7f28b236178fc3ea749261fca40a716cf23100215f0d54

The gateway is on unattended standby from now on.

[masterOfDisaster]

This gateway is one of the last lines of defence (currently operating at 7.5% buyside offset) since 2016-05-27.
But liquidity broadcasting has been disabled to make tracking the liquidity status of the NuBot gateway, that tries to tighten the spread and revive trading on Poloniex, easier.
I thought I might give a quick report here.
Unfortunately I only have one NBT address, that can be used to broadcast liquidity at the moment (“B9gXptkoqAApF3AFrQyhUbhSzvuEudxupt”), otherwise I’d just let the two NuBots just use two different ones.

It would have been useful to track all activity related to this account here right from the start. I didn’t think of that earlier. I’m sorry for that.

[masterOfDisaster]

@desrever, I’ve found a behaviour of NuBot, which I consider a bug.

I tried to prepare the future use of this gateway account: place orders at the book at a huuuuge offset 90% and beyond.
It doesn’t work like I wanted it to work.
I wanted to have a 50,000 NBT order at $0.10.
It did only place much less.
NuBot calculates the total amount of NBT that can be placed on the buy side of the order book based on the current BTC exchange rate.
It doesn’t consider the offset.
So I can only place 10,000 on the order book, if I have 20 BTC at an exchange rate of $500/BTC.
Although at an offset of 0.9 there would be enough BTC for 100,000 NBT.

At these offsets I could of course place the orders manually, but as I want to provide the sell side with orders, I need NuBot to move them according to the BTC price.

Is it much effort to adjust that in NuBot?
Basically you need to divide the Dollar value of the BTC by (1-offset; per order that is about to get placed), if you want to calculate the NBT amount that is available at these offsets.
I hope it’s just this one calculation.

Do you know what I mean?

Remark: the BTC are on order with an offset of 90%

[masterOfDisaster]

I try to have NuBot manage only the sell orders, while placing buy orders manually.
The buy side currently has 3 orders at 90%, 95% and 97.5% offset, each with a volume of 50,000 NBT.
Total NBT required for those orders: 15ish

Let’s see whether the manually placed orders stay, when NuBot moves the sell orders.
The next attempt will be to have a NuBot placing the buy side orders with different API credentials.
When using the

 "multiplecustodians":true,

setting, they should move the orders at the same point of time.
I’ll keep you updated.

Btw.

ninjaedit: well, I need to fiddle with a buy side only NuBot on that account. The sell side only NuBot deleted the manually placed orders. Damn!

[Cybnate]

Is it much effort to adjust that in NuBot?

If it is, I can run another PyBot to emulate this and running with another offset. Just let me know. It is not that hard to open 2 or 3 accounts more on Poloniex.

[masterOfDisaster]

It is not that hard to open 2 or 3 accounts more on Poloniex.

You know that you have to associate the accounts with each other?
Dealing with the accounts and the OTP, backing them up safely, getting the API credentials with all that email verification stuff in between and not loosing the overview is indeed the hardest part

[Cybnate]

You know that you have to associate the accounts with each other?

Yes, no problem.

all that email verification stuff

Yes, my accounts are still at the lowest level. Can’t be bothered to provide every identity document I have to them to even get to the second level. Don’t like them scattered everywhere, too many breaches and hacks these days.
