Things looked a little scary a few hours back, when the crash was happening - I wasn't sure if limit orders I'd tried to place were lost or placed. I'm still having problems with the open positions list - when I scroll down it it goes blank and displays the "loading" screen. Sometimes it loads, other times I can "trick" it into loading by slowly scrolling up and down until something "catches" and the next batch of positions loads.

Related to that - could I make a "feature request" for the ability to download open positions? I keep a spreadsheet myself, but being able to easily cross-reference what I think I have against what you know I have - that would be really useful.

That said, I've been really impressed with Coinut to date (and I'm not just saying that because I'm showing a profit!)

Hey did you halt trading or something? Can't open orders

Looks halted. Can't submit orders and quotes look stale.

Nice to see extra liquidity

I actually thinks the spreads could be a bit bigger but that could be due to market uncertainty.

It also looks like some of the bots are updating a lot more.

Also I actually never looked at the dates. It's really weird. You didn't line up the longer contracts.

You have vanilla options that expire on both 08/30 and 08/31

Thank you for all these suggestions. BTW, the market maker seems to have decreased the spread again. Also there is liquidity for monthly and bi-monthly vanilla options now. We still need a market maker for the half-yearly vanilla options and binary options.

Haha, combining with Bitmex's index may be a good idea. But it will definitely take some time :-). BTW, someone will make the market for our longer term vanilla options.

I've been putting straddles on with the vanilla options, but your still in the stone age re: margining, and charging me 2x what is necessary. Thus my positions are only 1/2 what they should be. Your commissions are 1/2, and my returns are 1/2 what they should be. Market making is good. Hope you get to sorting out the margining as well.

Hey, what are your thoughts about adding a trollbox. Sometimes I see other users also playing the 30 minute binaries. It'd be fun to talk to them. You'd sort of build a bit of community and you can also help people out.

You'd need to have some filters and make sure it's secure. Also there's the UI issue of finding a good place to put it.

Guys, we are so excited that we are right now sitting in the office of BoostVC - the best accelerator for Bitcoin startups. Many interesting thing will happen. Stay tuned!

I had a dream ... that you combined with Bitmex and offered your options against their futures/indices. They have a premier futures offering, but not interested in offering options. Bringing all the derivatives under one roof makes sense for the service and the customer base.

VC ... take a big breath Andy. They aim to get you all excited and hyperventilating, before bending you over and presenting their terms. They are salesmen first ...

That sounds great. Some people were wondering about the longer time frame vanilla options.

It's an accelerator not a typical VC. We've checked their terms carefully. Everything seems fine.

Oh yeah, you should announce you'll have to ban New York customers to get some free PR.

Unable to login at the moment. Is the site down? Anyone else logged in? I was logged in about 12 hrs ago ...

I do see that 24 hr volume has fallen to about 12k so it looks like the site might be down for everyone?

I was unable to login this morning (about 7 hours ago) - logged in OK just now, though. The site was a bit odd yesterday - it looked like it was offline, but was still online if you know what I mean.

Sorry, yesterday we did find some bugs in the site but we've fixed them. Now everything is OK.

Thank you for mentioning ...


Going forward, I'd like to suggest that you start your own thread on bitcointalk.org and present/tout your service there. It is bad form to advertise in a competitor's thread. One post is ok, understandable perhaps, but I hope you get the point ...

Play nice, and professional, and we'll all come check out your service. Meanwhile Coinut is the 'go to' exchange for btc options.

Edit: Ok, I see you do have a thread, nice. I'll check it out. Everyone can go THERE to learn more about and keep up on your exchange.

So there's another futures and options exchange being launched.

quedex.net

They're implementing European options. Currently they only have weekly options (and it's currently fake in contest mode)

And everything is denominated in USDmBTC which is extremely annoying.

Thank you for mentioning Quedex.

Regarding weekly options, more maturities will appear after the Challenge. Currently, the futures and options expire exactly at the ends of the Challenge rounds, so that the prices cannot be gamed.

We denominate every instrument treating BTC as the home currency and the contracts have foreign currency as an underlying (currently, USD and CNY). We judged that it is the correct approach for the bitcoin-centric derivatives market and that it makes hedging (and calculating hedging cost) easier.
We plan to allow choice in quotes display for those who find this quotation style inconvenient.

Also, we will list futures and options on BTCUSD soon.


wangxinxi,

Indeed, we hope to enlarge the whole options (and other derivatives) market in the bitcoin economy.
