- tptacek 6y agoBut trades aren't atomic, even though the i-bank traders in Flash Boys wanted to get paid to pretend they were. If you're trying to unload N shares, that's going to happen in some number of k<=n-sized chunks.
- splix 6y agoI'm not sure how this can be applied to the discussed issue? Especially considering that this kind of trades are atomic (when run by miners/flashbots), though maybe we use different notion of "atomic".
