Found a bitcoin joke website:

But can you confirm that you bought Gigawatt's miners and that they are mining?

At Gigawatt in one of the finished pods? Is it possible to show a screenshot of how the online dashboard looks when miners are running?

Two important things:

1) In China there is currently a crackdown going on against anything BTC. It may mean that the december batch (from Bitmain, located in China) will never arrive.

2) What has not been addressed so far: Gigawatt does not turn off your miner even when mining profits are lower than MEF (electricity/hosting). Gigawatt does not turn off or destroy your miner, it offers only to ship it to you once it's not profitable anymore. You pay for the costs of shipping/customs which will be a lot if you order several miners.

Yes, please add a column "Gain BTC" and "Gain [USD]" or whatever the pair is.

Sampey, when I trade BTC/USD and I want to sell BTC high (PING) and rebuy it back low (PONG), then my win is in BTC, e.g. I sell 1BTC for 1000 and when it falls I rebuy 2BTC at 500, therefore my gain would be 1BTC.

However, the "cumulative gain" shows the result in USD instead of BTC.

But even with the default settings the recalculation routine is set to "3". So how does your original answer ("This will result in an order impossible to complete") make sense?

What does that even mean? That's not correct English and doesn't answer what I asked for.

I asked you to give me the settings that I need to let C.A.T. run continuously without any stalled orders ("Not enough XXX for purchase") and without C.A.T. miscalculating pool values (AKA fantasy pool values that accumulate sums that were never available in the first place like "100 BTC").

So far C.A.T. ALWAYS stalled after a while with BTCs sitting there unused by any ping or pong. Or with hundreds of "Not enough BTC for purchase" because C.A.T. doesn't keep track of orders. Mind you, there was absolutely no manual or external interference. It's just C.A.T. being C.A.T.

Please give me the set-it-and-forget-it settings that will keep C.A.T. running for months. These settings should also not interfere with other concurrent algos (USD/BTC, EUR/BTC).

1. So what is "Exec an Order recalculation Routine every X lookup" for then?
2. Then please add an option to make it possible. Just like other autotraders make it possible by making ping stairs as I mentioned in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507103.msg16913884#msg16913884


So far C.A.T. has failed in every instance for me, Sampey. Whether I use it on 1 market or many. After a while the log always shows "Error From Btc-e : It is not enough XXX for purchase" because C.A.T. has no idea how much money is available. So far C.A.T. always stalls after a while with some "money not available" error, even on exchanges without competing algos.

If you disagree, then give me the options that will work for sure, I will set them and we will see. And please show me the settings to reuse acquired gains for new pingpongs.

That's not true. If I set LookUp to 30 minutes or so, it can very well be that it gets executed.


Wait, so it's not possible to be on two BTC markets (e.g. EUR/BTC, LTC/BTC) or (BTC->USD and USD->BTC) at the same time because one algo will compete with the other for available BTC?

So how can I make the rule
Mode->Price Limit-> Never *PING *OVER *TopOfCurrentOrderBook Price *MINUS *0.5%


Could you please add an overview where we can see what C.A.T. thinks is in the portfolio?

So when I start with USD/BTC -> Ping SELL 100 USD, then C.A.T. would have 100 USD and 0 BTC in its pingpong portfolio, and after several pingpong trades we could look the stats and it would show 101 USD and 0.0001 BTC or so. That way we could verify whether C.A.T. works properly.


Yes, C.A.T. tries to place orders of 0.0000 quantity and then rounds them up to 0.1. Doesn't seem a good practice.

Sampey, how can I know how much BTC I have for manual PING creations? How can I know whether the BTC amount on my exchange account is free or being used by existing pingpong routines?

Sampey, could you please add an option so that pings can be 0.5% (or whatever the value is) lower than the current market value?

So something like

Mode->Price Limit-> Never *PING *OVER *TopOfCurrentOrderBook Price *MINUS *0.5%

It also would be nice to have

Mode->Price Limit-> Never *PING *OVER Your last *PONG.

So why does C.A.T. try to place a BUY order for 0.1 EUR having only 0.00000X USD?


You can see the % GAIN in the pic I posted. It's > 0.5%. So why does the total gain go down? EDIT: I found the reason. I didn't sort by TimeStamp.

1. Is the pool 0.0 or not?
https://i.imgbox.com/qDjNTtQ5.jpg



2. Min % Gain is > than BuyFee + SellFee, so why do I have a loss?

3. Could you also address the question https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=507103.msg17340800#msg17340800
about where I adjust what the minimum spread must be?

And how can total gain decrease from 0.00007 to 0.00004?

The log tab shows a lot of

although the pool shows "0.00000". Why does C.A.T. try to create such orders that are more than what's in the pool?

I am asking because sometimes the "% GAIN" column (in the gain tab) is below the guaranteed min gain, for example "0.444%"

Also I don't understand how the TOTAL GAIN can go backward

https://i.imgbox.com/MFFw8Zxo.jpg

So if "0.5%" is with fee (0.2%+0.2%) why is the gain in the "% GAIN" column (in the gain tab) displayed as "0.5%" and not as "0.1%"?

I have a question regarding messages like


Where do I adjust what the spread must be? It seems that C.A.T. takes the "Min % Guaranteed Gain" as the minimum spread. But then why is there an additional input field "Create Ping orders only if Market spread is"?
