This will come, but since we're a new start-up and we need the initial revenue, our priorities right now is to complete the first exchange integration and get a product on the street.

For now, consider this an invitation to be an early adopter - it might not be the most graceful, and it might still have bugs - but it's there and you can use it right now.

tl;dr need short explainer posts like what you did for electrum-cash

NO WAY DUDE!! you gotta show me how it works .. I'd have already been in that "early adopter" soup, but I barely understand the concepts of AnyHedge let alone how to begin USING it .. went to https://anyhedge.com/get-started/

Want to try it? Visit Detoken

but that doesn't appear to be live yet

then there's https://anyhedge.com/how-it-works/ which has a very elaborate calculation widget at the bottom; but I have no idea what any of that means (need a guide or tooltips)

for folks to understand how to get going with AnyHedge, some form of walkthrough is critical (if not vid, then screenshots would do fine) .. not afraid of command-line, i would quickly block a day to spend getting familiar with the platform, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be expecting..

and it might still have bugs

i use DEET, no worries

I guess that's what this readcash post is all about, it linked to the anyhedge-library on npm, which should show this readme file: https://gitlab.com/GeneralProtocols/anyhedge/library/-/blob/development/README.md

The list of functions can be found here: https://generalprotocols.gitlab.io/anyhedge/library/AnyHedgeManager.html

To get a better look into the data structures, either look into the typescript declarations here: https://gitlab.com/GeneralProtocols/anyhedge/library/-/blob/development/lib/interfaces.ts

... or look at the example test data here: https://gitlab.com/GeneralProtocols/anyhedge/library/-/blob/development/test/usecases/hedge10week.ts

As for understanding how the contract works, the long story is in the whitepaper here: https://gitlab.com/GeneralProtocols/anyhedge/whitepaper

... but the simulator on the anyhedge website is the simplest showcase/explanation we can give today: just enter an amount on either the long or the short side, how much volatility in percent the contract should protect against for the short/hedge side and then drag the slider at the bottom to see what the outcome would be at different price levels.

just enter an amount on either the long or the short side

this seems important to understand, and yet I have no idea what it means 🤔

thanks for the links; will review and follow-up once I've gotten my feet wet

Anyhedge is a risk-trading contract. There is three parties to the contract, the oracle (which has no funds, but is used a trusted price source), the hedge/short (seeks stability, is selling their risk) and the long (seeks speculation, buys the risk).

The hedge/short party inputs some bitcoin cash matching a specific value in fiat, and the long inputs some bitcoin cash as a collateral pool. If the price goes down, some bitcoin cash is transferred from the long to the hedge. If the price goes up, some bitcoin cash is transferred from the hedge to the long.

If the contract needs to transfer more bitcoin cash from either side to the other, than exist on the originating side, the contract is liquidated and all funds are paid out.

Example: say you have $20 in bitcoin cash today, and you want to buy something for $20 a month from now. Since bitcoin cash value is volatile, it wouldn't make much sense to just wait and hope. By putting your $20 worth of bitcoin cash into an anyhedge contract that matures after a month, you would get $20 worth of bitcoin cash out again, at whatever price BCH as at that time.

ok, that covers the abc's of AnyHedge 🤔

yes! this is the "practical" application as I understand it .. imo, this should be implemented into the model for an SLP stablecoin

one question I had regarding the model, is there is no mention of time; so how does your $20 in a month example get plugged into the model's params?

You need to estimate the blockheight at which the contract should mature. The libraries takes a parameter for the number of blocks the contract should run for.

I would be thrilled to see someone make a functional and attractive stablecoin on this, as that would mean the stablecoin would by definition have auditable and proven reserves.

i see .. will make time to check out the libraries .. just need to see it run once from end-to-end, then I should hopefully have a much better grasp

something like MakerDAO's Dai is what I envision 🧐

End-to-end, like this? https://gitlab.com/GeneralProtocols/anyhedge/library/-/blob/development/examples/custodial.js

https://gitlab.com/GeneralProtocols/anyhedge/library/-/blob/development/examples/custodial.js

nice! will give that code a closer look 🧐

What Jonathan said :D However yeah, that explainer video is exactly what has been on my mind today. We will get that also.

yeah, the https://anyhedge.com/get-started/ doesn't really tell me anything about getting started .. not sure when the exchange/api will be ready for "beta" (I'm avail for "alpha") testing but at that point there really should be a reference/use-case/article for the "practical" application(s) of AnyHedge

ass adoption

;-)

maybe try to earn some BCH?

There are many options, but be careful, there are also many scammers.
