+100 honor points granted to @Nagalim

[Nagalim]

Ha! Success!

If i attain honor points dishonorably, are they worth less sentiment?

[masterOfDisaster]

Ha! Success!

Oh no!

You can’t attain honor points dishonorably.
Honor is of type signed int and if you choose the dishonorable road, the result gets multiplied with -1, which leads to
-100 honor points granted to @Nagalim

i think nubot is still not prepare to do a pool server

I’ve made some major changes to the price feed structure on the ALP server. It now uses far fewer socket connections to try and connect to the Nu price Streaming server so this should be the end of the price feed borking. I’ve also made the fault tolerance much better so that all errors I could think of will be caught properly and not cause a thread error. The standard price feeds now undertake a sanity check in a similar way to Nubot so a faulty bitfinex feed won;t send the pool off on a wrong price.
I’m also saving prices to the database as they come in rather than relying on object properties to save prices as this appears not to work for displaying prices in the ‘front-end’ json output. It also means we now have data on minute by minute prices on the supported exchanges/pairs.
I’ve also added the price in nbt/btc and btc/nbt as requested

I’ll continue to mi=onitor and please do mention anythhing that looks odd or you’d like to see different

Does anyone know the reason for such high swings on liquidity, for this pool? I’ve seen it go up to 27k down to 15k to just 60 in “rank_1”. Is there something I am missing?

[Nagalim]

When the price moves all the orders tend to move at once-ish.

Everybodys using the same price feed.

Yes, but are they moving out of NBT?

[Nagalim]

I think what you’re seeing is just nubit moving orders. If they were getting in or out of nbt there would have to be a trade.

As a side note, i’m still surprised that no one has asked for a T3 trade with me to help balance nupool. Y’all know buy side has a much higher rate right now than sell side right?

How much would would need to be put up for a T3 trade? That could be the reason why they are not?

[Nagalim]

500 nbt.

Good point, i wanted to do 100 nbt to start. The real issue is that it is a manual trade, so it takes time and effort on everybody’s part. Ideally, many people would be offering this service and there would be advanced software and so on and so forth. Anyway, for now I’m just surprised some big fish hasn’t wiped me out of my 5 BTC in one txn.

i have 100nbt ，alway send to NLP to get btc

[Nagalim]

NLP is a good choice as well, very efficient. I’d be interested in the math around the loss from going through NLP with respect to the gain of going from ask to bid in NuPool nowadays.

[zoro]

I am getting some API errors from my nubots.
"Unexpected token END OF FILE at position 0"
“ApiError [4 : Null Return]”

are you getting them as well, or it is only me?

[woolly_sammoth]

I’ve noticed some json parsing errors in the ALP logs when felt hung data from the Poloniex api. I suspect they are having some issues. The error you are having seems to indicate that too.

[zoro]

Why ask % and bid % rewards are always equal?
(the rank1 under server stats)

[Nagalim]

I think those are total cost rewards. A very clear readout of % rewards on client end like PyBot has would be very very useful.

[mhps]

Is ALP using bitfinex as the main price feed source? I see this

Bitfinex BTC last 534.01 bid 534.0 ask 534.94

Polo NBT
last : 0.00181732 lowestAsk : 0.00185212 highestBid : 0.00182156
last 550.261 bid 539.922 ask 548.98

There is a big price difference than can be explained by price fluctuation in a minute.

[huafei]

we have no BTC to support peg as 1 USD

[masterOfDisaster]

But we have successfully kept a floor of $0.95 with the help of the gateways and their increased buyside offset!
Way better than nothing and seeing momentary drops to far below it!
