1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Accurately calculating cost basis for positions on: January 07, 2018, 01:55:25 AM
Placing limit orders for more than a few BTC mostly results in a long list of fills, sometimes over many minute during which price of both the target coin and BTC may fluctuate considerably. Trade history for most ecahnges does not list the BTC/USD value at the time of the trade and keeping this pair open on another chart may not be of any help in real time as fills can happen very rapidly. Some exchanges do not even list a XXX/USD pair for the target coin making it really difficult to accurately figure out the cost basis of a position. Using another exchange for the BTC/USD is not helpful as the price can be very different.

Anyone have any tricks for this I might not have thought of?

(Cost basis is an important metric for several aspects of trading, accounting and taxation so please no responses along the lines of why do you need that :/ )

3  Bitcoin / Electrum / confirmation at 5 days and counting (electrum)- wallet for best control of fees? on: December 11, 2017, 02:45:33 AM
I have the Electrum wallet. I have a two transactions marked as NOT VERIFIED after 5 days. this is ridiculous. The "slider" is no longer in the preferences. I am guessing upgrading the fees after the transaction will not affect the transfers in progress.... Urgh. Who distributes an installer without warning the users of this choice at INSTALL TIME

I like the wallet and I understand the network is congested, but my xfers to another broker are confirmed within a day.

With market volatility like this I need to trade these coins. I assume I cannot xfer them from my Electrum wallet until they have been confirmed?

What wallet has the best control of fess and makes it really obvious and user friendly to understand. Which wallet has the best reputation for fast confirmations due to their effective contril of fees?

4  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Transaction Speeds on: November 07, 2017, 05:47:00 AM
I am trying to understand how a distributed network can ever hope to compete with centralized processing speeds of major banks that typically clear 25k transactions per second.

I get the appeal of a decentralized currency and want to back an alt currency that could be deployed in confidence to solve low latency, high transaction problems like gaming or offshore wires like the Western Union Business.

Electroneum wants this markets and I like this coin, but how are they going to solve the latency problems.

My question is really, is a distributed block chain a feasable soltution?
Do any altcoins have the capability of processing that many transactions?
