Fund update:

I've sold about half of last months BBP for BTC on southXchange and QIEX. Someone seems to have put up a 3M BBP sell-wall on southXchange (I saw the wall move from 40 to 34 Satoshi). My sell orders are above that, so since the wall arrived I haven't sold BBP anymore.

Anyway, that's the update :) Of course, the Fund has paid 1 BTC for CryptoBridge and now we're saving for other future exchanges.

I'm going to ask for another round of 'one Sanctuary worth of BBP', so 1.552.501 BBP (one sanctuary + proposal costs).

Great work keeping this treasury topped off.

I think our exchange future is bright, after cryptobridge,  (hopefully NEXT also) and then coinexchange.io, I think we will have double the investor presence.

I have a suggestion, this is sort of a caution.  Since none of us know the future price of the market (IE market timing is impossible to know), nor do we know the future price of bitcoin, I recommend dumping coins that are over 30 days old on the exchanges so as to keep the situation moving.  Obviously if you have the time and patience to do so slowly (IE 200K per day or something) then that is even better.  But my suggestion stems from this:  I would not want to see 3-6 million coins get backed up and unsold for 60 days while waiting for a better price.  Because what can happen is two very bad things:  Price could drop leaving us with nothing, and coinexchange.io could withdraw the deal (they have been known to if we wait too long).

So this is not a rule just a friendly recommendation that it would be better to flush them out each month and let the value buyers buy them up even if we have to take a hit.  I feel that over time, all this averages out for us.

Thanks for the suggestion Rob. I totally agree with this :) I thought that I set reasonable sell orders, but I didn't anticipate the recent devaluation. My strategy worked well in the past, but it doesn't seem to work this time around.

I will use the strategy of selling all received coins before the next superblock from now on.

Btw, this is still the Exchange Fund address:
https://blockchain.info/address/3AojspQgpSSDdPJJANj4UtSBFUZy8YdduT

I accidentally used my own BTC to pay for CryptoBridge, haha! So the amount in this address will stay static until I have received more than 1.0369048 BTC from selling BBP at exchanges. I can provide full accountability if requested. Togo can also vouch that CryptoBridge has been paid. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the advice. This is indeed the conclusion we also came to. We will most definitely stay away from Yobit for the time being.

BBP/BTC   Sell   0.00000042   5529   0.00232218   BTC

Last month I just set some sell orders, but the price went down and a lot didn't trigger. From this month on I will have the policy do try not to have coins that are older than 30 days.

These sales calculate to 2M+ BBP sold for about 0.7 BTC, which is quite nice. I just added sell orders for this months received budget, but will keep a closer look on the price with the intention to sell all of the BBP before the next superblock hits.

I was abroad with very little internet this past month, so I had very little time to check the exchanges. I see that the price has dropped and some of my orders didn't trigger.

I just got back today. I will now check to see if we can get to 2 BTC as fast as we can :)

So, CoinExchange.io is paid. We didn't have enough budget, so I paid partly with my own BTC (and Rob requested extra funds this month).

The address below is still the Funds deposit address. The 'total received' is the only accurate number there (because of change-addresses and because I've paid the exchanges from my own BTC-account. But as you can see we're about 0.5 BTC in deficit as of now, so I'll be using the New Exchange Fund earnings first to close that gap before we can build up BTC again.

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3AojspQgpSSDdPJJANj4UtSBFUZy8YdduT

I've also made a spreadsheet which I'll update from time to time:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A0ZUlpMaw7pZ5YQEiLN7WoqZP1bq5VOcEZGzMS8KWlw/edit#gid=0

The total amount between the BTC deposit address and the 'total BTC received' in the spreadsheet are a little off because of transfer fees. The deposit address shows what is actually left in the end :)

I still need to sell 300k+ BBP this month btw.

Anyway. I think that the best way to proceed from here is that I keep sending BTC to the  Funds deposit address until we hit 3 BTC (the fees of CryptoBridge and CoinExchance.io combined), and after that I'll start a new Fund deposit address.

Hi everyone,

So, Rob asked for 1 million BBP (which he will send to me after the next superblock hits), and I will further ask what is left over in the budget for this month.

There are two proposals that are redundant ('Twitter Advertising August' and 'YouTube Video Review'). If I leave those out, there is still about 593k BBP left in this months budget. I will ask for that budget to recoup the 0.5 BTC I spent on getting us listed asap. Hopefully, that will be within two months.

I hope that you all vote in favor of this proposal. But I know that money is tight right now.

After I recoup the 0.5 BTC, I will decrease the 'New Exchange Fund' amounts requested and try to focus more budget on the upcoming PR-campaign.

Thanks!

How long do you expect the funding to be needed to recoup the cost?

I personally believe we're now good for the number of exchanges short of a top  25 sort of one (which would either be prohibitively expensive, or in a lot of cases free but needing to be justified by increased volumes).

I agree with being good for the moment concerning exchanges. Hopefully - with the current market - it will take max two superblocks to recoup.

Hi everyone,

So, I've liquidated all the BBP that was in the fund. I'm a little disappointed at how much I could get this month, but the current market is how it is.

Sadly I'm currently still about 0.3 BTC short in the fund:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3AojspQgpSSDdPJJANj4UtSBFUZy8YdduT

SouthXchange has trouble loading at the moment, so I'll post the transactions later.

I won't be creating a proposal for this months superblock because we already pretty much spent all the budget on Compassion and Kairos (unless Rob drops the amount BBP he is asking for Compassion).

Hi Everyone,

As I stated in my last post, We're still a bit short in the New Exchange Fund, so I'll be requesting funds to recoup that until we are in the green again. This is the funds address:
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3AojspQgpSSDdPJJANj4UtSBFUZy8YdduT

The only important number is the 'total received' number (because of change addresses and me having paid for a listing with my own BTC by accident). We paid 3 BTC on costs for getting listed on exchanges. So we're about 0.3 short still.

Here is an overview of all the sales (which I posted before). The number is a bit off with the New Exchange Fund address because of trading fees and withdrawal fees:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A0ZUlpMaw7pZ5YQEiLN7WoqZP1bq5VOcEZGzMS8KWlw/edit#gid=0

Anyway, I'm requesting funds to recoup the costs I personally made until we're at 3 BTC. Everything above that will be put in the 'New New Exchange Fund'. I want to request 1.5M BBP for this in this superblock. At the current exchange rate, it will probably take 3 superblocks before we're in the green again.
