Should I care if it is erlang-based or basic-based? Why should I use this instead of some of the existing exhanges?

What other exchanges are there for options and futures?

I'm the CTO of BitMEX.com[1], which runs derivatives (futures and perpetual swaps) on Bitcoin and a few other coins. We've been around since 2014. We run a full-featured testnet [2] for API testing & trade testing.

The other major players are mostly Chinese. In China, there's OKCoin, BTCC (previously BTC China), 796, and BitVC, as well as a few minor players. In the rest of the world, there's us, CryptoFacilities, Coinpit, and now Deribit.

We've been in contract with the Deribit team since 2014 - they appear to be a solid tech team and they certainly understand the underlying finance.

In all earnesty, do you have an interest in your clients making big profits? Or is it in your best interest that most of your clients lose so that you can pay a few winners?

Do you have a training program that can help me go from 0 to full-time derivatives trader?

[STRML]

Our interest is in traders continuing to trade - in order for them to do so, they must like the platform and consider it fast, fair, safe, and open.

As for a training program, I usually suggest babypips.com - condescending domain name aside, the content is really great.

Crypto Facilities is building a trusted BTC index with CME, so I guess there is interest in crypto derivatives

You should because it will be slow

Next project will be to write a basic powered Dogecoin exchange, because I hear that's what all the cool kids do.
