If someone hodl money until the end of year he will have the arbitrage advantage.
What about force a buy using BTC average and a sell using coindesk after some time, for those who still hodl money?

there is always that risk, but there is an 8h gap between 2 trades, so it isn't very likely
Not what I meant, but you will see sooner or later, when the ranking position will be wrong because people decided to take advantage of the arbitrage by hodling USD

Switch from BAV (Bitcoin averagere) to BPI (coindesk) on july 15
Hi!
We decided that we want to use the more accurate Bitcoin Price Index published at coindesk in stead of the Bitcoinaverage.com quote.
Why:
*historical data for checking trades
*bitcoinaverage includes the volatile localbitcoins, making the rate less reliable
*having less confusion about which rate to take from the website.
How?
before july 15, everybody keeps using the BAV price as explained in the opening post.
On july 15, everyone who has a BTC balance, will start using the BPI price publsihed at coindesk (see below)
If your balance is in fiat on july 15th, your next (BUY) trade will be using the BAV price. After that, you start using the BPI.
(this eliminates possible arbitraging profits by selling before we make the switch)
Practical:
To make the transition as smooth as possible, your fiat balance will be colored in blue on the scoreboard until you buy at BAV price.
For btc balances, no coloring will happen, because these balances are immediatly transferred to the BPI.
The scoreboard will publish the coindesk price, but remember, those exchange rate is only indicative. You ALWAYS need to check the current rate at the website. Don't rely on the rate published on the scoreboard, because this only refreshes once every hour.
the coindesk BPI can be found here: http://www.coindesk.com/price/
Printscreen:
In this example, we use 269.34 USD, NOT the 24h price (269.08 USD)
