The SEC released their initial email via EDGAR after the company didn't respond: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1069183/000000000017... I'm not an accountant, but it seems pretty munda

Coinflip founder here. I'm not sure what this means for Bitcoin, but the CFTC taking a clear stance is a plus for Bitcoin derivatives. The chance of a serious player like CME listing Bitcoin derivatives just went from zero to non-zero.

The Vasa was in cold, brackish water. Low salinity is good for preservation. Sinking somewhere difficult to reach is important, to prevent salvage. The Vasa had her cannon brought up to the surface but was otherwise left alone. I went t

Thanks for the suggestions, the guide has been updated. Regarding your other concerns, we'll address those with more complicated margin requirements for new contracts and multi-sig Bitcoin transactions. For now, you can just set an ext

The order book is at https://derivabit.com/order_book . You can drill down into specific contracts for more details. There is also a summarized version built into the trade form.

The margin is a percentage of the underlying Bitcoin. So no margin calls. If your counterparty can't pay, then you get the full value of their margin account for that trade (plus the premium payment, which you already received) and no
