Anyone with a lot of AUM looking to invest would beg to differ - or well, they might use the information while trading on a different exchange. Also draws a nice crosshair on your exchange, so that hackers can exactly calculate cost/be

Come on man.. > The post I was responding to claimed Tether was specifically created to address Bitfinex's wire issues. That is false. It does not claim that it was "specifically created for that", it claims that "The

Just because tether predates the big USD wire problems does not mean it's creation was unrelated. One of the biggest risk any exchange has is compliance, specifically with the US regulators (and banks). Even if BFX did not know this be

I 100% agree with you how risky it is and how hard to prove this is for bfx. It's very dangerous and there is a lot of money on the line (not just the tethers themselves, USDT reaches for and beyond bfx). However I don't think it&

After the fall of mt. gox there was a huge push to get exchanges to do this. My guess is that the costs of doing this (security is quite hard: anything that can sign messages using cold storage keys can obviously also empty the cold storage

Can confirm: I created an open source TA tool[1] for crypto markets that can function as a trading bot. If only I got a penny every time someone emailed me saying they are total beginners, looking for help installing it and hooking it up to

Not sure if "a whole bunch of people" equates more than 5 extremely vocal people on twitter and reddit. Tether published an audit a month ago.

They are not fake, they have all of them. People from the US just can't access them anymore. Tether is the workaround so they can. To add to the excellent summary of patio11: The other side of the coin is that more and more exchanges a

I made a tool that can help traders (in cryptocurrency markets) automate their TA based strategies. I am not sure what you consider popular, since this project is definitely in a niche space (so reach is limited). I used to post it here and

You mean how companies like Renaissance Technologies are obviously flawed since they only rely on mathematical models and are thus doomed to fail?

This does exactly what I have been doing manually for at least ~15 times in the last week. If only I saw this a few weeks ago.. (It's easy / not lot of work, but why if we can automate?)
