gotta be careful with derivatives, both here and in the fiat markets.  they're a fast-paced game.

Edit: And yeah, that's part of it too is that you'll have to project out on the life of the asset as well.

I think it's time to introduce some changes to the BDD fee attribution for the new round. BDD is working because of its excellent management - 2070 can't be thanked enough! Does anyone here even remember deprived? - and because there is the possibility to always buy and sell on the market at a reasonable price and in reasonable volume. Big parts of this liquidity are provided daily by market makers and arbitrageurs.
To make BDD more dynamic I propose a simple change:

Accounts with huge volume should get a discount on the management fees of B.EXCH.

For everybody who isn't a market maker or arbitrageur this has the benefit of more liquidity because market prices will be closer to their actual valuation. Because the market makers will pass along their reduced fees, tighter valuations can then also be traded. Looking at the past few months I think there is a huge amount of trades that didn't happen because the bid and ask gap was too far apart. A 3% markup is a big variable for a valuation as tight as the one we're looking at. The higher traded volume in turn means higher profits for 2070, too.

The proposal in detail
Half of the management fees (1.5% of NAV/U - the current management fee is 3% of NAV/U) will be waived for trades done by accounts/traders with a volume of 10 BTC+ within a period of 1 month.
This way the amount of extra work for 2070 increases only by one check of account volumes per month (or other period) and it's completely transparent to outsiders.

The technical details
How and when to determine the volume and how to give a discount?

• Look at the trade volume of each account over a certain period of time and give a discount on the fee for the following period for high volume accounts - this is most probably difficult/impossible to do if havelock doesn't implement that technically.
• Look at the trade volume of each account over a certain period of time and reimburse parts of the management fee if the volume was high afterwards - probably the easiest way to handle this
• Depending on the data provided by havlock to the issuers a rolling average model could also be possible - this would most probably mean more work for 2070 though and therefore is not a preferable option

 I'm looking forward to discussions and hope to also hear from parties who are not 2070 or market makers

Thanks 2070 for your unique-in-BTC management!

Could you please advise how the hash rate is calculated? Is it based on the daily average of found blocks calculated with the current difficulty? I am thinking in terms of short/medium/long term variance.

Thank you

This is BDD working how it is supposed to be - the NAV/U is decreasing steadily (as it has been for the whole Round) but, as a percentage decrease per day, it looks relatively large. If the price of MINE + SELL is more than the price of EXCH (NAV/U + 3%), then there is an arbitrage opportunity - buy EXCH and sell MINE and SELL into the market. I know for a fact that there is at least one person trading on this opportunity-

I see the resale value of the units going down quite quickly...any advice on how I should take that? Is it just generally accepted to be the way it will be? Or is this a sudden dump from someone?

Well, it's a bit complicated, so do take the time to read the OP - there's a lot of important information there. I would wait until the next Round of BDD starts, sometime in the next 15-45 days depending on difficulty increases. At the beginning (and most of the middle) of the Round the buyers of MINE and SELL are betting against each other. Each unit of EXCH purchased is split into 1 MINE and 1 SELL. If the NAV/U (the value of 1 MINE plus 1 SELL) is 1 BTC, for instance, and you purchase MINE, then the most you can profit is the value of 1 less the value of SELL.

So, if the market value of MINE was .9 and the market value of SELL is .1, then you'd buy 100BTC of MINE (~111 units) and have a chance at profiting .1 per share (11.1 BTC). That 'chance' depends on how the difficulty rises, or falls, and when it does so. Again, read the OP and then re-read it; it's very important.

Hey there,

I'm looking to invest my BTC, and I stumbled upon Havelock Investments. Could someone explain how someone purchasing B.MINE profits? I'm a bit confused about where the money is coming from. If people purchase 100 BTC worth of B.MINE, then won't B.MINE pay out 100 BTC worth of dividends throughout the round?

Thanks.
