It’s not a cancellation, it just puts it on hold while we have a dip in NBT demand. It’s really just a practical limit, i haven’t done a complete analysis but I think the theoretical implications are minimal. When we have a spike in NBT demand, we get a lot of BTC, which we convert to NSR to store and minimize risk in another blockchain. If a hundred thousand NBT get sold tomorrow I’d be happy to keep doing buybacks.
This week is $2786 > $2500 so I will certainly do buybacks this week.
i see ， thanks for you work ！
Please be aware (I don’t want it to look like I’m hiding anything) that PPC has a lower threshold when it activates in April. This means that when we are just above the 15% BTC threshold we will be buying PPC and not NSR. This is again practical because PPC buybacks are going to be much easier than NSR buybacks, however it does have theoretical implications. It means that we will give something of a higher priority to filling the PPC pool over NSR buybacks when we are at the 15% BTC threshold. I’m calling this a feature rather than a bug.
there are no NSR buyback at April. and I right?
It’s complicated. By current motion, i will keep buying back at half the velocity (5% instead of 10%) and Nu will pay me $175 for april. This probably won’t happen, most likely either another executor will be found or buybacks will be ceased.

118449.064935 NBT excluded from the share buyback calculation equals 280.442425 BTC.
330.115218 - 280.442425 = 49.672793 BTC sits in the share buyback pool.
10 percent of this 4.967279 BTC will be used for share buyback next week.
That is equivalent to approximately $2098.004916.
Looking at these numbers and recent NBT volume I prefer to pause buybacks for now. Nagalim won’t do buybacks below 2.5k. I also think that setting up another NuSafe or using this on PPC is a good alternative at this point.
so what we can do next week? nothing ? or buy PPC?
Nothing, we do nothing. We dont have enough btc to be buying other stuff right now.
Oh, execpt feel free to refill my T3 address, it needs about $2.2k.
PPC overflowTaking the price each Friday at 12:00 UTC, if the PPC reserve exceeds 5% of the circulating NBT, 10% of the PPC overflow (that exceeding 5% of the circulating NBT) will be used to buy BTC, limited to a minimum of $1,000. If the value of the PPC reserve has exceeded its 5% of circulating NBT for the week, the overflow BTC that would be used for PPC purchase should be sent to the NSR buyback executor instead to purchase and burn NSR.
5% of overflow >1000 NBT is actually just enough to buy PPC for FLOT, we just don’t have PPC FLOT multisig in place yet.
I dont start buying till April 1st (this is in the motion). We havent set up the multisig yet. These btc aren’t burning a hole in our pocket, let’s just hold on to them.
There is a 11,968.107 NBT uncertainty of T3 reserve presumably in @JordanLee’s hand. Shall I continue buyback calculation before JL clarifies?
Yes, it’s a difference of $15 (10% of 15%). We need to know that that money is in the right hands, but w/e for buybacks it wont make a huge difference.
That is $160. But your point is valid.
Without the 11968 NBT the calculation is

Lol i cant do math
Without NuSafe we’re at 13% btc reserve.
Hello, would anyone explain to me why are buybacks 10-20x smaller than 1-2 months ago, and will buybacks be as low as this from now on every time?
Buybacks happen when we have extra money. The money has to come from somewhere. When we do a buyback it reflects a need to ditch some of the risk we hold in our multisig reserves.
If you want to know the details of the buyback and why it is what it is look no further than this thread. The more recent calculations are here.
If you’re looking for the motion, it’s here:
[Passed] T4 Circulating NBT Threshold
also here:
[Passed] Motion to begin NSR buyback immediately
Sure. If Nu sells tons of new nubits – say btc crashes and people want to buy NBT – then it will have tons of fund to buyback.
Ok. I have one more question.
Last week we didnt have buybacks because BTC value for buybacks was too low, so is this value adding into buyback this week?
Each week we buyback 10% of the overflow. If 10% of the overflow is not > $2500 we will not buy back. If we dont buy back then we still hold the money, so it will be used the next week if possible. However, no, previous buybacks (whether they happen or not) have no direct effect on future buybacks other than changing the number of btc in our reserve.
