Dividends would make nsr leave exchanges to deposit in wallets, so there would be less volume. also dividends in peercoin would boost peercoin price up, so
i thought purpose of buyback is to move price higher, not to burn nsr. why is burning so important?
Because printing will be used to save the peg as a last resort.
When Nu sells NBT, it stores the value in NSR (distributed assset);
When Nu buys NBT, after the reserve runs out and parking isn’t enough, it extracts value from NSR to pay for the buying.
Taking NSR out of circulation is just a step of buyback. Burning is locking up and throwing away the key.
Can you confirm that the Nubits from the transactionare in B5Zi5XJ1sgS6mWGu7bWJqGVnuXwiMXi7qj ?
According to NuLagoon Tube, it was sent to this address and is still there:

How did we lose 25 btc if circulating nbt grew? Is it in gateways?
Edit: basically, yes, it’s in MoD’s gateway.
that is 25btc less than
so what does this mean? will there be any buyback this week?
No, buybacks probably wont happen for a while. Hopefully the btc reserve motion will pass, we’ll go into the negative, the ppc reserve motion will activate, and as nbt demand grows we’ll start buying ppc. Im guessing we wont see another buyback till B&C drives up nbt demand sharply.
It’s anyone’s guess that BTC won’t suffer a slump in price at anytime in the future. PPC reserve only amounts to $40k . If could take less than a day to sell that much new nbt.
is there any chance for nubits peg to be broken??
Yah but $40k ppc and $30k nusafe is like 75% of our current btc reserves. Just for perspective, to get the 25k surplus needed to perform a buyback (assuming full ppc reserve) we’d need to basically double our current btc reserves.
The peg is fine, we still have 0% park rates.

guess again. We already have a lot of “parked” US-NBT in NU Lagoon 
This is the standard. We are in the ‘ideal region’. However, i expect the btc reserve motion will pass very soon and we may find ourselves in the danger zone next week. Still keep your hands hovering over that park rate button.
Just to head this off at the pass (sorry i am not doing the calculation myself):
NuSafe is no longer a part of the calculation, and should essentially be ignored this week.
The buyback velocity is decreased to 5% from 10%. As a side note, his will also decrease the perceived negative standard should the buyback be negative. This will influence park rate decisions.
If the buyback amount exceeds $1000, it will be used to buy ppc.
If the buyback amount also exceeds $2500, it will also be used to buy nsr (totaling 10% used)
I am sync’ing the client to do the calculation. Can you quote relevant part in passed motions for changes to be made in the calculation?
