Hi Guys,

Are you located in Singapore, or just registered here? Who are you? looked at your about us page, and nothing about the founders. You have a link to the bizfile site, why not just post the info? Until we get decentralized exchanges, I think centralized systems need to go out of their way to provide credibility in the marketplace.

You could set short time frames, or strikes closer to the starting value. Or try to develop a volatility index, there are some open source algo's that support regressive volatility learning.

Short time frames will make the site similar to a gambling site. This is not what we want.
Understandable, but BTC options are basically gambling because the market is unregulated, poorly liquidated, and subject to high volatility. Lengthening the time frame really doesn't diminish the gambling aspect IMO.

To me, what you listed are not directly related to gambling. With options, you can always build your own pricing model and compare the results with the price listed on the exchange and buy low and sell high. That's trading. Or you can also toss a coin and buy or sell according to that. That's gambling.

Is it officially launched yet? Have visited your site today.

Very neat, but may add some color to make it more appealing.

Sorry... just my friendly opinion... Smiley

Singapore company Coinut Pte. Ltd. is developing a Bitcoin options exchange. The current focus is cash-or-nothing binary options. We need a good volatility forecast model.
