We should make a list of dates for the BCH dump. Or a poll.
Nah, not in this thread anyway but you might suggest it over at r/BTC for the lulz


Do you guys like Deribit? I only just got into it but the interface is so confusing. I can't set the leverage? Is it always on 100x? Someone explain cross margin and sub accounts to me.
I have never used Deribit, so I don't know about sub accounts. The term "cross margin" usually refers to the fact that your margin (deposited funds) is shared among all open positions, so the actual effective leverage depends on your total margin amount and the total size of all your positions - basically, total_positions/total_margin.

I actually also have my doubts too, as it is only in beta... So I am guessing isolated margins are what the sub accounts are for... And while I hate Bitmex for its shitty overloading and "dox" times when nobody can get to their positions while they get liquidated during a mysterious dump or pump, or the ADL, I still think its the better option right now.

If only they would get better hardware and fix their shitty overloading issues. How hard can that be? Obviously they don't want to.

Even the exchanges have no idea where this beast is going on the short term. Down time seems strategically planned for of some of the exchanges.  I used to dabble trade on poloniex until it became obvious to me.  Bitstamp has never gone down on me (and they also don't offer leverage)  but I'm not really here for the short term trading anyway.
