Thanks burn.

Those features sound great. What if, it comes time to auto-execute, but you don't have enough BTC, but it would make sense per your formula to sell at Bid shares of that security to make the trade minus any remaining cash automatically? That would be kinda cool.

I guess my question is I still can't tell if I bought or sold this option:

It shows "List on Market" like your page shows, but then recall down below, and I can't find any trade history suggesting either?

How do you execute a call option? I cannot find Options documentation on the site.

It's on the secutity page, options tab, at the top where your held options are listed.

I agree that I need to setup an FAQ and re-work some of the layout.

Cheers.

Thanks burn. Is it where it says "List on Market" ? Is the execute only going to show up if I have enough balance to use? Because i don't see an execute function. What does it look like if you sell an option?

Yeah, it's only going to show up if you have purchased options.

Here's a snapshot:



If you sell an option it should show up in your trade history on the "portfolio" -> "my options" tab.  One of the things I want to address with the options is a way to exercise from the portfolio "my options" tab, rather than having to go to the security page.

The other thing that I'll be changing soon is I'm planning to introduce an account profile option (ON by default) that will auto-execute options that are in the money before they expire.  For the purpose of determining whether it's in the money or not, we'll likely be using (current bid * 98%) for calls and (current ask * 102%) for puts.  That way it should be relatively safe even in low volume situations.  We may make the deviation argument adjustable on a per-account basis as well.

Cheers.


Great feature to add, I've had a number of options expire that I forgot about on BF Sad

I'm rather skeptical that a competitor would DDOS the site. All of the exchanges are run by very small teams, all of which have a lot on their plates.

It also serves no real benefit to an exchange to take down BTCTC for a day.

The latter argument applies to anyone doing a DDoS.  So why do it?

I didn't necessarily mean just an BTC-TC exchange competitor.  Could be a mining op competitor too, or someone who'd like to see crypto-trade grounded.  (pure speculation)  If you shake confidence in an operation early on, it can do plenty of damage.

I really doubt the motivation is simply "I was bored.".  If you're bored there's plenty of hackish things to do that are more fun.

Heh, maybe someone was pissed they lost some btc in a trade.  Wink


It's also possible that they are stress-testing your site or distracting you to look for vulns.

They definitely helped me improve the caching system.   Cheesy

I'm probably going to have to do something lame like CloudFlare.
There is nothing lame about it. A lot of Bitcoin related sites are using Cloudfare to avoid expensive anti-ddos hoster.
I think it is weird that BTC-TC is the only exchange under attack. I highly doubt that there is someone who only hates BTC-TC but accepts all the other exchanges except a competitor Wink

Is there a reason why TAT.ASICMINER doesn't have an estimated yield box?

I was asking for all types of fees incurred by using the PT. I have to admit, I did not realize not using 2FA costs me more. That notice should have be more explicit.

^^^^^

Thanks

How strange indeed that we just started having issues as the site is gaining ground.

I shouldn't have dissed on CloudFlare specifically.  I just think having to use a DDoS service blows.   Sad  It's a drain on shareholders who now have to pay for DDoS services for a site that really shouldn't need it.

ah well.  We're protected now.  Wink

Cheers.


Add... forgot to answer your second question!  An asset has to have at least 30 days of history before we can make any kind of estimates.

I've been having a bear of a time with btct.co timing out on me today.  Is something up with the site?

We're still under DDoS.  They've shifted strategies a few times.

Some peeps have way too much time on their hands.  Makes me wonder what the motivation might be...

We're totally down now.  Network link to the box is saturated.

Working on shifting things around.


Trades seem to be flowing again.  Wink

We still have performance issues with bitcoind.  We'll be working on addressing those tomorrow.

Cheers.

Terms for Burnside's 100% ASICMINER passthrough:

Quote
Payment of dividends is to be made within 2 weeks of their issuance from ASICMINER.
Dividend payments made more than 72 hours after their issuance from ASICMINER will be paid 100% of the original ASICMINER dividend.

Exclusion of Guarantees

This pass-through makes no further guarantee shall any issues arise with ASICMINER's issuer. Should ASICMINER issuers requires any fees/process to claim shares arising from any issue/event, fees will be paid in full in the name of the pass-through holders from future dividends.

What is the percentage of dividend that is released by ASICMiner-PT? I am assuming based on the statement above it is not 100%?

Also, what does the statement under exclusion of guarantees mean?

Probably not the appropriate thread.  I'll answer in the ASICMINER-PT thread.  Wink

BlackLilac your quote is wrong, he was asking for the trade fees which have nothing to do with the stock terms. Here is the right quote for reference:
Quote
What fees are there for using BTC Trading Corp?
We currently have the following fee structure:

    Trades using 2FA (Buyer): 0.2% (Trade Value X 0.002)
    Trades using 2FA (Seller): 0.2% (Trade Value X 0.002)
    Trades not using 2FA (Buyer): 0.25% (Trade Value X 0.0025)
    Trades not using 2FA (Seller): 0.25% (Trade Value X 0.0025)

I was asking for all types of fees incurred by using the PT. I have to admit, I did not realize not using 2FA costs me more. That notice should have be more explicit.
