Needs evaluation if that number is easily available

Needs evaluation if that number is easily available

That number is not directly available. However, because the first page of debt positions are on the same page, so at least we can estimate:

let first_page_total_collateral = sum of collateral amounts of debt positions in the first page
let first_page_total_debt = sum of debt amounts of debt positions in the first page
let first_page_highest_collateral_ratio = collateral ratio of the last debt position in the first page
total_collateral >= (current_supply - first_page_total_debt) * first_page_highest_collateral_ratio + first_page_total_collateral

If really need the exact total collateral amount, please submit a feature request in bitshares-core repository. It's not hard to maintain the data with a little performance penalty; it would need greater efforts to mitigate the performance penalty.

@abitmore: It would be enough to calculate the collateral once a day and use only a cached version for the UI.

I think calculating once a day will cause more confusion.

A core issue has been submitted for this issue. I see no reason why this shouldn't be included in the asset bucket as it would be to much work for the UI to iterate all the margin positions by hand. The goal is that backed asset would have a lot of margin positions, which would be to much in the long run for the UI (and backend) to manually calculate.

I think calculating once a day will cause more confusion.

Why?
