So the TestNet Floor was increased from 58 to 87, following which the TestNet Rate plummeted from 177 to 17! What's all that about?
Good question... hard to tell what specific tests they are doing.
The floor price follows behind with a 3-day lag and is based off of an algo.
Also, just got word that BitBay team members are now participating in LAToken's test environment! This is yet another big step towards the Dynamic Peg's initial release! Just have to get this thing thoroughly tested, then it's game time.
Apologies; I have been looking at this the wrong way round!
I imagined the rate followed the floor, but it's actually the other way around, right? And, with a 3-day lag before a response in floor price, this is starting to make some sense now.
Great news that the BAY team are testing at Latoken; that's really made my day!
I am really grateful for your input on this thread re the subject of the peg. It is genuinely very much appreciated. Please keep up the good work.
Do you have any idea what the planned time-scale is for the test phase, or if there is a target date to go live?
No worries at all.
Yep, the floor follows both price of BTC and BAY.
The initial floor, upon peg release, will start at 1/100,000 of BTC's all-time-high which ends up being $.20 USD.
If/when the price of BAY or BTC reaches 3x the initial floor price and stays there for 3 consecutive days, then the floor automatically increases by a factor of 1.5x.
Keep in mind that this floor only effect things if the "Algorithm" voting option wins consensus. Also, good to remember that there are 7 voting sessions per day.
Here is a little animated .gif that illustrates the Algo/Floor movement:https://imgur.com/a/mBMZv5nDon't have a specific date for the peg release yet, but we are getting very close now.
Will post the countdown here as soon as one is established.
