I have changed my pricefeed script.
Poloniex disabled STEEM and SBD withdrawals and deposits, so I stopped using their price ticker. The difference in STEEM- and SBD-prices was quite significant.
- The price for SBD changed from 0.932 USD to 1.023 USD, which is significantly closer to the peg.
- The price for STEEM changed from 1.253 USD to 1.359 USD.
Before, I was publishing the median of both exchanges' vwap. ( bittrex and poloniex )
This post brought the issue to my attention:
https://steemit.com/witness-category/@demotruk/how-are-witnesses-handling-the-steem-price-divergence
As long as transactions are disabled with poloniex, I'll only consider bittrex' price.
It looks like some witnesses were already doing the same, but I haven't noticed any statements on Steemit about this issue.
On a sidenote: I'm happy to see SBD close to the peg for a change.
