Title: BTC Volatility contracts
Post by: Surf Capital Management on October 22, 2014, 07:21:01 PM
Develop some sort of volatility hedge using the BTCVol.info (http://btcvol.info/) API and use the decentralized ledger of Counterparty to distribute ownership.

Contracts would have have intrinsic value but liquidity for the market would have to come from independent market makers.

btcvol.info's volatility calculation methods is quite basic. You can use R to get a much better calculator: http://www.inside-r.org/packages/cran/TTR/docs/volatility
BTW, to trade volatility, you can also try bitcoin options https://coinut.com

Coinut looks like a cool project. There needs to be some more liquidity though.  :D
