Supply, Reserves, and Equilibrium (superseded by automation)

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.

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.

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:

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.

So that would mean no buybacks this week too??

always yes we not have much btc in hand

Sorry for the delayed response.

Address BT9AWq9r1i6kghZc6LtrvNb2wRFh7JLCdP was originally a custodial grant address mandated for both development expenses and tier 4 liquidity operations. Because funds to be spent on development should probably be considered NuBits in circulation, while funds for tier 4 liquidity operations should not be considered as NuBits in circulation, these funds are in a bit of a grey area as to how they should be regarded when calculating the number of NuBits in circulation. Excluding this address (BT9AWq9r1i6kghZc6LtrvNb2wRFh7JLCdP) and the 150,000 on B5Zi5XJ1sgS6mWGu7bWJqGVnuXwiMXi7qj, I have 18,390 additional shareholder NBT that are reserved to pay for NuBit development expenses. Because these 18,390 NBT are likely to be spent on development in about 60 days, I am inclined to consider those as in circulation. The ~44,000 in BT9AWq9r1i6kghZc6LtrvNb2wRFh7JLCdP will not be spent on development during March or April and is a paired NuLagoon Tube address actively used for liquidity operations. Therefore, it is probably appropriate to regard these funds as not in circulation.

In summary, I am inclined to add address BT9AWq9r1i6kghZc6LtrvNb2wRFh7JLCdP to the list of addresses with balances that are out of circulation.
