Shorting ETHUSD on Bitmex without exposure to XBT

As you guys may know, Bitmex introduced the ETHUSD quanto swap in August which lets you short ETHUSD posting XBT as margin.

From the guide posted here https://www.bitmex.com/app/seriesGuide/ETHUSD, it says that the only way your PnL is affected is by change in in the price of ETHUSD . Example for reference:

Bitcoin PNL = (ETHUSD Exit Price – ETHUSD Entry Price) * Bitcoin Multiplier * # Contracts

Notice that the only variable that affects the PNL is the movement of the ETHUSD price. Neither the .BXBT, nor the .ETHXBT exchange rate affect either trader’s PNL.

To preface, when you 1x short XBTUSD with full equity, your exposure to XBT is 0, in essence you are in synthetic USD if you don't take funding into account.

For the ETHUSD perp swap, since the PnL and margin is XBT, and neither the .BXBT nor the .ETHXBT exchange rate is taken into account, being 1x short ETHUSD on Bitmex exposes you to the vagaries in price of the aforementioned indexes.

So as shown in the example above, if I was short at $500 on ETHUSD and price went to $495, I would make 0.5 XBT profit regardless of if XBT price has declined in that time period. During the time of my short, if BTC dropped for $10,000 to $5000 since my PnL is in XBT, I lose a lot of money i.e. I have exposure to XBT at all times when I am short ETHUSD unlike going 1x short on XBTUSD on Bitmex.

The question is, is there a way to be short the ETHUSD quanto swap without having any exposure to any cryptocurrency i.e. being in synthetic USD?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the Komodo community! Here's what you need to know.

Komodo is consistently recognized as one of the world’s most innovative blockchain projects. It’s a fascinating environment and the Komodo community is currently growing at an unprecedented rate.

There are many different aspects to Komodo. To help get you familiar with the ecosystem, we’ll answer some common questions in this post and give you a basic overview of Komodo Platform.

When was the Komodo project started?

The foundational idea for Komodo Platform was born on February 21, 2016, when James ‘jl777’ Lee published his Declaration of Independence:

We the asset holders hereby declare our independence from any single blockchain.

An open and jointly developed specification on cross-chain atomic asset transfers will be developed. Any current or future blockchain is invited to join.

Each blockchain will need to not only promise protections for asset holder interests, they need to live up to them. Otherwise, all the assets will simply move to blockchains that do.….

This is an interop standards effort and it needs to be blockchain agnostic and asset centric.

James ‘jl777’ Lee

Later that year, Komodo held its initial coin offering to make this remarkable vision a reality.

Did Komodo have an ICO?

Yes. Komodo held an ICO that lasted just over one month, from Oct 15 to Nov 20 of 2016. KMD was sold a rate of 0.00012908222 BTC per coin, or 7747 KMD for 1 BTC.

One-hundred million KMD coins were issued, with 90% of them sold to investors and the remaining 10% held as working capital for Komodo’s development and marketing.

Over the course of the ICO, Komodo Platform raised a total of 2,639 BTC. The closing price of BTC on November 20, 2016 was $731.03. At that price, we see that Komodo raised a total of $1,929,188 USD.

The BTC raised in the ICO is used almost exclusively to pay BTC transaction fees necessary for the delayed Proof of Work security mechanism to function.

What has Komodo accomplished since the ICO?

Since the Komodo mainnet went live in January 2017, Komodo has consistently made enormous development after enormous development. There are really too many achievements to list them all here, but to highlight a few:

Learn more about Komodo’s development and achievements here.

What is Komodo all about?

Komodo’s technology is driven by these 4 Pillars of Blockchain Technology:

  1. Security - Komodo’s innovative delayed-Proof-of-Work (dPoW) security mechanism protects the entire ecosystem with the power of the Bitcoin network. To compromise a protected chain, an attacker would need to overpower both the KMD network and the BTC network— at the same time.
  2. Scalability - Komodo gives each project the autonomy to control their own independent infrastructure and dedicated blockchain. On top of that, every project has the freedom to scale out at any point in time by adding additional blockchains to linearly increase performance as needed.
  3. Interoperability - With blockchain federation tech, Komodo enables seamless cross-chain interoperability among federated chains. Every Komodo-based blockchain is connected to chains outside the federation via atomic swaps. Komodo has already linked 95% of all blockchains in existence.
  4. Adaptability - Komodo is an open-source project that is constantly innovating and developing. All new features are pushed to every project in the ecosystem. With a future-proof blockchain architecture, Komodo gives every project the ability to create modular, customized solutions for any situation.

With these 4 pillars in mind, Komodo is working towards its mission of accelerating the global adoption of blockchain technology by innovating cutting-edge features that remove barriers to entry for developers, blockchain startups, and existing businesses alike with simple, end-to-end blockchain solutions.

What makes Komodo unique?

The underlying architecture of Komodo is what sets it apart from other blockchain platforms.

Other blockchain platforms are a single blockchain with support for smart contracts and decentralized applications. Accordingly, all projects that build on one of these platforms are forced to share the same infrastructure.

This single, shared blockchain architecture is a recipe for crippling congestion. It’s also a huge barrier for the growth of the individual projects that build on these platforms as well as an obstacle to the mass adoption of blockchain technology.

Komodo has a unique multi-chain architecture that gives every project their very own dedicated blockchain with independent infrastructure. If one chain isn’t providing adequate performance, additional chains can be added to scale out and increase performance linearly.

All the blockchains in the Komodo ecosystem are secured with the power of the Bitcoin network and seamlessly interoperable with every other chain. And, on top of all that, each blockchain launched with Komodo can support smart contracts, including the ability to tokenize at a ratio of one native to as many as 100 Million tokens. The possibilities are endless.

What is Komodo working on now?

Development at Komodo happens at breakneck speed so it can change on a week-to-week basis, but here are a few things that the Komodo Team is currently focusing on:

  • Constantly improving and adding coins to Agama, the ecosystem’s native multi-coin crypto wallet.
  • Developing v2 of BarterDEX, Komodo’s atomic-swap-powered decentralized exchange.
  • Bridging the gap between Ethereum and Komodo in order to allow seamless migration of ERC20 tokens to Komodo Platform.
  • Building up Komodo’s UTXO-based smart contract library in order to provide external projects with out-of-the-box solutions.
  • Fine-tuning Federated Multi-Chain Syncing scalability feature in order to verifiably process more than 1 Million transactions per second.
  • Integrating more external blockchains to Komodo’s delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) security service network.
  • Working on a full rebrand, updated messaging, improved user journeys, a brand-new website, and product strategy with Ideas By Nature, an industry-leading agency.

This is only a partial list but it includes most of the major developments currently taking place at Komodo Platform.

Where can I learn more?

If you’d like to dive deeper, the Komodo White Paper is a great place to start. You can also read through these three blog posts to gain a better understanding of Komodo:

You can join Komodo on social media to learn more and get frequent updates:

If you’d like to chat with Komodo team members personally, you can join the Komodo community on Discord. Team members are available around the clock.

What are the primary use cases of KMD?

KMD is the native currency in the Komodo ecosystem. It has a number of important uses.

  • Those who hold 10 KMD or more can easily earn 5% active user rewards.
  • KMD can be used to make instant, zero-confirmation swaps on Komodo’s DEX.
  • KMD is the most widely-traded coin on BarterDEX, so KMD can act as a go-between for two other tokens that do not yet have a direct market between them.
  • KMD is the method of payment for Komodo’s Blockchain Security Service.
  • KMD is the fuel for UTXO-Based Smart Contracts.
  • KMD can be used to buy into dICOs launched on Komodo Platform, often early and at a discounted price.
  • KMD is the only coin compatible with Komodo’s Jumblr privacy feature.

Where can I buy KMD?

KMD can be purchased with fiat currencies through the following third-party services:

The following crypto exchanges support and allow trading of KMD coins:

Is KMD mineable?

Yes, KMD is a mineable coin. The KMD chain uses the Equihash algorithm. Here are some helpful resources for those interested in mining:

You can also ask for help in the #mining-room on Komodo’s Discord community.

Where can I find support documentation?

If you need assistance, you can find Komodo’s support documentation here.

If the docs don’t solve your issue or if you’d prefer to communicate directly with a member of the Komodo support team, you can:

The Komodo support team is always available and quick to respond.

Where can I find developer docs?

All of Komodo’s tech is open-source and anyone can start building with Komodo’s tech whenever they please.

If you’d like to start using Komodo’s technology, please see Komodo’s developer docs here. You may also find it useful to look through Komodo’s GitHub repos.

If you’re a developer who’s interested in blockchain technology, we highly encourage you to join the Komodo community on Discord. We have one of the most active and perhaps the most innovative blockchain developer community on the planet. All of our devs are open to answering questions, helping newcomers, and generally sharing knowledge about blockchain tech.

Anything else?

If you haven’t already, go ahead and download Agama wallet now. This makes it easy to hold KMD, as well as a number of other coins and tokens. Agama also allows you to collect your 5% active user rewards with the click of a button.

You can also sign up for Komodo's 5 Bullet Fridays newsletter, which is a weekly email that will tell you about the 5 most important events in the Komodo ecosystem from the previous week.

Thanks for reading and welcome again to the Komodo community.

Cheers,

The Komodo Team

FIRST HOTEL BOOKING PLATFORM BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN

What's up guys, I will be talking about what I saw during my article review that I would be sharing to with you today. We all may know about the online travel agencies (OTAs), if you don’t know them I will briefly be talking about them, their challenges and the solution.

  So what is this OTAs if you may ask, these guys have undeniable access to online individual hotels online and they can also use the advantage on low demands for prices by customers. However, OTAs are largely grown and are actually generating high revenue than before. Besides, they have a direct impact on the hotel industry. 

  What happens is that these OTAs and Customers are actually benefiting from the business, so we found out that the industry is actually facing a situation whereby goods or service will be creating massively fewer profits than a business intermediating its sales. It turns into a loyalty program market, expanding to a larger value for its customers while hotels stand a chance to lose even with their larger value of the brand control.

  Easier said and done, we found a platform that has the perfect solution for whatsoever the OTAs is not doing right. The platform is GOeureka.

GOeureka is a platform based on blockchain that put itself first, a decentralized and transparent platform that partners with hotels. They will be transforming loyalty traditional system and increasing the value of all hotels for it customer. So basically these are how they aim to do this by;

o    Enabling Re-booking feature for all hotel rooms

o    It supports mobile application and with a commission-free booking platform also.

o    It enables transactions through cryptocurrencies.

o    Crypto-enabled interoperability loyalty points.

o    Access to about 170,000 hotels worldwide.

OTAs have totally decrease hotels margin however, the platform has provided an efficient and affordable way in which customers and hotels can actually benefit from each other and interact also. More like a community will have been created, this allows the public and the developers to talk about new ideas and features that they think will enhance the platform. 

Which means that customers will be rewarded for new ideas and feature brought within the platform. It features a token which I will be talking about later, this token can be used to carry out payment within the platform thus, no extra fee will be charged. Using your credit card or any cryptocurrency, the platform will charge 5% of transactions made. Why it is like this is because they want to protect the interest of all token holders of the platform.

Let me give you some instances on how the re-booking feature works. Let’s say;

    A customer makes a booking for a room at $400 for a stay of maybe 7 days.

    The re-booking algorithm will be checking for the price drop for the customer continually.

    Maybe 3 days later the same customer's room could now be advertised for $380 depending on the rate and price of drop

    The room will now be re-booked automatically at the rate of $380

    Now, the customer will now be notified that he/she just saved $20 on his booking.

The platform has designed a website with a nice interface where hotels can update their prices and manage to list in the platform customers will be prompted anytime the rate of prices changes in the platform and hotels can now make information concerning prompted lower prices.

It has so many features if I may say so I would be talking about a few of them;

FOR APP ENABLED

o    Payment processing: you can make payment using cryptocurrency, fiat currency, and loyalty points.

o    Events near you: through the app, you can discover the latest promotions and happenings around your location which will make it livelier for customers and an unforgettable experience too.

o    Booking Information: ability to manage booking information, historical booking information and calendar of future bookings.

FOR HOTEL ENABLED

o    Room services: the ability for customers to browse the menus and restaurant in the hotel, easily request for a room service and the order is sent immediately.

o    Hotel Events: update might pop up about recent happening at the surrounding area/location.

o    Room Key: simply access the hotel room through the app, which means that loss of room number and key are no longer big deals.

They are more additional features you can be sticking with because in this platform they are all endless.

 The platform features a token called GO Token. The token is a digital token which is basically designed to handle transactions in the platform for purchases of internal processes, room nights, hotel services and more within the platform.

Finally, I will say that GOeureka has given us a true reason to work with them as it tends, everyone will surely benefit.

10 things about Bitcoin Cash that you need to know on its Hard Fork Day

Two incompatible coins, gangster wars and an absolutely unpredictable future of the fourth currency of our days.

Ver vs. Wright

Today Bitcoin Cash will reach its hard fork. The main characters did everything in their power to make this event as hot as possible. Not as hyped as Khabib against Connor, but something similar. Besides, the world will get two more cryptocurrencies today.

In case you were out volunteering in places where there’s no internet, this text will help you sort out what’s happening.

  1. Bitcoin Cash is the most successful bitcoin fork as of today. In August 2017 developers increased a block’s maximum size from 1 to 8 megabytes, which increased the transaction speed from 7 to 61 (actually, it doesn’t really work like that. Oh well, let’s not go into details now).

  2. The coin’s capitalization is somewhere around 10 billion dollars. It’s on the fourth place, preceded by BTC, ETH and XRP. During its peak, the price reached 4 thousand dollars. As of today, it’s 450 bucks.

  3. In December 2017 a test indicated that the price for a transaction in Bitcoin Cash is 99,56% lower than of the original Bitcoin (although it’s a particular case connected to the Bitcoin network attacks). The fork itself breaks the ‘code is law’ principle of the unchangeability of blockchain. And its trade volume is 2 two times lower than Dogecoin. And it’s not a meme.

  4. Many consider BCash a ‘centralized altcoin’. Nick Szabo thinks of it as a ‘centralized sock puppet theater’, since 56% of all coins is stored in 67 wallets, which are not registered on exchanges. And 98% of nodes is controlled by one server.

  5. Roger Ver is the main evangelist for Bitcoin Cash. At the turn of the century, this businessman was side dealing some explosives, then got into dark net and crypto currencies, he was connected with the Mt Gox bankruptcy and Columbian drug cartels. Together with JIhan Wu (ex-CEO of Bitmain, one of the biggest companies that make mining equipment) they are promoting Bitcoin ABC fork.

/r/Monero Daily Discussion – November 15, 2018 - Use this thread for basic questions and if you're new to Monero

Index

  1. General questions
  2. Wallet: CLI & GUI
  3. Wallet: Ledger
  4. Nodes

1. General questions

Where can I download the Monero wallet?

There are multiple Monero wallets for a wide range of devices at your disposal. Check the table below for details and download links. All wallets listed below are open source. Attention: for extra security make sure to calculate and compare the checksum of your downloaded files.


Desktop wallets

Wallet Device Description Download link
"Official" GUI / CLI Windows, Mac OS X, Linux The default implementation that is maintained by the core team. Use this one to run a full node and obtain maximum privacy.Has Ledger (hardware wallet) integration. Current version: 0.13.0.3 / 0.13.0.2. GetMonero.org
MyMonero Windows, Mac OS X, Linux MyMonero is a lightweight wallet, which means you don't need to download the blockchain and run a node. MyMonero was developed with the assistance of the core team. They also have web-based and iOS versions. GitHub

Mobile wallets

Wallet Device Description Download link
Monerujo Android Popular Android lightweight wallet that has very cool features, like integration with xmr.to which lets you send payments in BTC using your XMR. It also has Ledger (hardware wallet) integration. Website: https://www.monerujo.io/. Google Play / F-Droid / GitHub
MyMonero iOS iOS version of the MyMonero wallet. All versions have interoperability. App Store
Cake Wallet iOS Popular iOS lightweight wallet that has integration with MorphToken, which means you can instantly exchange your XMR to other coins and tokens. Website: https://cakewallet.io/ App Store
X Wallet iOS Another iOS lightweight wallet. Website: https://xwallet.tech/ App Store
Edge Wallet Android / iOS This is a multi-assets wallet, meaning you can store Monero, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other tokens in one single app. https://edge.app/ ⚠️ Relatively new - use with caution! ⚠️ Google Play / App Store

Web-based wallets

Wallet Description Link
MyMonero Web version of the MyMonero wallet. All versions have interoperability. Web
XMRWallet Web wallet with TOR support. ⚠️ Relatively new - use with caution! ⚠️ Web / Onion URL

How long does it take for my balance to unlock?

Your balance is unlocked after 10 confirmations (which means 10 mined blocks). A block is mined approximately every two minutes on the Monero network, so that would be around 20 minutes.

How can I prove that I sent a payment?

The fastest and most direct way is by using the ExploreMonero blockchain explorer. You will need to recover the transaction key from your wallet (complete guide for GUI / CLI).

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are dozens of exchanges that trade Monero against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Check out the list on CoinMarketCap and choose the option that suits you best.

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with fiat?

  • Kraken (USD and EUR): old-school, decent exchange. They might require your documents for verification and approval of your account.
  • LocalMonero: peer-to-peer exchange. They have pretty much everything as a payment method and they support hundreds of fiat options.

How do I mine Monero? And other mining questions.

The correct place to ask questions and discuss the Monero mining scene is in the dedicated subreddit r/MoneroMining. That being said, you can find a list of pools and available mining software in the GetMonero.org website.


2. Wallet: CLI & GUI

Why I can't see my balance? Where is my XMR?

Before any action there are two things to check:

  1. Are you using the latest available version of the wallet? A new version is released roughly every 6 months, so make sure you're using the current release (compare the release on GetMonero.org with your wallet's version on Settings, under Debug info).
  2. Is your wallet fully synchronized? If it isn't, wait the sync to complete.

Because Monero is different from Bitcoin, wallet synchronization is not instant. The software needs to synchronize the blockchain and use your private keys to identify your transactions. Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.

You can't send transactions and your balance might be wrong or unavailable if the wallet is not synced with the network. So please wait.

If this is not a sufficient answer for your case and you're looking for more information, please see this answer on StackExchange.

How do I upgrade my wallet to the newest version?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange.

Why does it take so long to sync the wallet [for the first time]?

You have decided to use Monero's wallet and run a local node. Congratulations! You have chosen the safest and most secure option for your privacy, but unfortunately this has an initial cost. The first reason for the slowness is that you will need to download the entire blockchain, which is considerably heavy (+70 GB) and constantly growing. There are technologies being implemented in Monero to slow this growth, however it is inevitable to make this initial download to run a full node. Consider syncing to a device that has an SSD instead of an HDD, as this greatly impacts the speed of synchronization.

Now that the blockchain is on your computer, the next time you run the wallet you only need to download new blocks, which should take seconds or minutes (depending on how often you use the wallet).

I don't want to download the blockchain, how can I skip that?

The way to skip downloading the blockchain is connecting your wallet to a public remote node. You can follow this guide on how to set it up. You can find a list of public remote nodes on MoneroWorld.

Be advised that when using a public remote node you lose some of your privacy. A public remote node is able to identify your IP and opens up a range for certain attacks that further diminish your privacy. A remote node can't see your balance and it can't spend your XMR.

How do I restore my wallet from the mnemonic seed or from the keys?

To restore your wallet with the 25 word mnemonic seed, please see this guide.

To restore your wallet with your keys, please see this guide.


3. Wallet: Ledger

How do I generate a Ledger Monero Wallet with the GUI or CLI?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange. Check this page for the GUI instructions, and this page for the CLI instructions.


4. Nodes

How can my local node become a public remote node?

If you want to support other Monero users by making your node public, you can follow the instructions on MoneroWorld, under the section "How To Include Your Node On Moneroworld".

How can I connect my node via Tor?

This question is beautifully answered on StackExchange.
