Supply, Reserves, and Equilibrium (superseded by automation)

Looks like Bittrex is or was off.

Correct. Really sorry for that. I feel bad for the dent on CMC. NuBot appears to have failed at startup after a withdrawal I made.

Not to trivialise my mistake, but it’s an opportunity for arbitrage which helps the peg.

Equilibrium 2017–06–25

Circulating US-NBT: 449,622.4688
Reserve percentage: (50 - 449,622.4688 / (2,000,000 / 25)) / 100 = 0.4438
Equilibrium reserve: 0.4438 * 449,622.4688 = 199,542
Current tier 1–4 reserve: 315,462
Minimum tier 1–4 reserve: 0.20 * 199,542 = 39,908
Daily move to equilibrium: 0.01 * (199,542 - 315,462) = -1,159

  • Equilibrium is having $199,542 in tier 1–4 reserves.
  • Current tier 1–4 reserves are valued at $315,462.
  • Buybacks for the amount $1,159 per day will begin.

Daily move to equilibrium is the amount in USD of how many NuShares will be sold or repurchased every day toward reserve equilibrium.

Price calculations? Haha, I literally sold them for 1.30 on Bittrex, I didn’t calculate any price.

The NuBit pair on Bittrex is based on Bitcoin so you sold your NuBits for an amount of Bitcoin which you calculated to be worth $1.30. I just wondered which price of Bitcoin you used (bitfinex, coin market cap, btc-e?) when determining that value.

It’s by the by now anyway. It seems the NuBot at Bittrex wasn’t running correctly. NuBot is the automated bot that manages liquidity on exchanges and generally keeps the peg. As with all systems, it’s not perfect and can fail. In such situations people such as yourself noticing that and taking advantage on the arbitrage opportunity actually help by moving the market back towards the peg.

Exactly, I sold into the strength. If Nubits goes below, I always buy into the weakness, but that hasn’t happened in a while. :frowning: … Edited post : Actually I just took an opportunity.

the reserve percentage keeps on declining.
why ?
the more nubits in circulation, the lower it needs to be?
what s the rationale behind it?
also, it seems you did bring to circulation more than 100k nbt to markets?
any specific motion that mandates that number?

thank you.

I didn’t decide the algorithm, but the rationale may be that at higher scale less strong movements in supply are expected. Feel free to consider improvements.

What do you mean? That sounds like the core of my job, to provide liquidity. Phoenix has full authority within liquidity operations.

I see. It could make sense. Let s see how it behaves in the future when we have more nubits in circulation.

I see. But is there anyhing that mandates the quantity of liquidity brought to markets?

I’m quite sure there isn’t. I’ve been thinking about some velocity algorithm such as with buybacks, but I’m not sure it would be of much value. Automated creation would be the best, but it doesn’t seem easy. Perhaps ongoing voting by shareholders to create NuBits for custodians who destroy unused NuBits to stay at a mandated amount with automated flow.

[reserve calculation](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot(0.5x-x^2%2F(8000000)))
At 2 million NBT, Nu will start lowering the total reserves the more nbt are on the market. Over 4 million NBT, the reserve will be less than $0.
