If anyone is interested in trading OTC options, here's a central place for it.
I'll start by wanting to buy a standard american call on 1 BTC at 650 expires April 15
Anybody want to sell that call? You'll have to escrow the btc unless I trust you.

Settlement in BTC? What price do you offer?

Settlement in BTC? What price do you offer? We can settle the premium in BTC certainly but I was thinking if it gets exercised then its an actual buy of BTC for USD. I don't have a price although I can think about one. I'm open to offers.

If you change your mind, you can drop me a pm with a price offer. Take care

As stated, if the seller puts 1 BTC in escrow there is no counterparty risk here.

As stated, if the seller puts 1 BTC in escrow there is no counterparty risk here. Why would the counterparty risk change with using an escrow and a settlement in BTC? I put 1 BTC into escrow, and in the end you get 0.xx BTC depending on the price if it gets over 650$ . 0.xx being the (Actualprice-650$)/Actual Price = BTC you get if you exercise.

0.25 BTC would be my fee for such an option. Very high I know. Only because it would be a pain in the ass holding 1 BTC away for me for 2 weeks as I buy/sell them for profit daily.
DannyHamilton would be fine for escrow.

Yes I think you are right. That should work. What price would you want to write it?

I agree with the price. While we are working out the details can we agree that the strike price floats at 201.35 above the current price? I see 448.65 as the current bitstamp price. How will the exercise price be determined?

Oh just to clarify, the settlement BTC will also be calculated with the settlement price. Because we wont get in touch with escrow immediately after redemption.

Yes last trade on the ticker after the timestamp of the post for both the strike price (when opening the trade) and the settlement (when closing it).

I don't really care about the opening time. How about I post, you quote, and it opens at the agreed margin. Hopefully we get this done soon. For the close we can just make this a european option and settle at the last trade on 4/15 GMT. I don't see a good reason to exercise this early anyway. We can also negotiate an early close out if we want of course.
