The mitigation of established problems with your "service" does not include suggesting that people send money, whether it's a cent or a fortune.

True, spending 2 minutes reading the "How it works" concept is generally enough.

"How it works" in this case doesn't look good.

No amount of posturing, plastering, site copy, or other hopes, dreams, or promises will change facts.

Hello,

To everyone I propose a small test. Deposit a few cents on bitfinex. Go long. See that you are paying interests on your margin. Then close your position, move your money to the deposit wallet and lend your money. See that you receive interests on your money.  Then withdraw your money.

There you go, you see that the borrowers really paid the interest listed on Bitfinex, and lenders really receives the said interests.

In the meantime, see that Bitfinex doesn't work AT ALL like how bitcoinica worked. Which coincides with the fact that the code is original and totally rewritten since 8 months.

So you can experiment the business model first hand, and see that it's not just a concept, but it is what it claims to be Smiley

Thanks
Raphael

PS: About the unlimited credit line, see these: https://community.bitfinex.com/content.php/32-Regarding-recent-team-change
And compare with how forex broker uses credit lines on a weekly basis, as opposed to us making 1 credit line of 150,000 USD to a known investor, with 1.5 times more in BTC collateral on Bitfinex (by the said investor), paid back a few days later, in a time of crisis to avoid lenders making a loss.

II. Running stolen, bug ridden software (the old Bitcoinica codebase) that has already proven itself useless in the marketplace (three times!)

OK, noted. I will do my own due diligence.

That's the only way to go.

I. Self-moderated "support thread", filled with a bunch of socks posting nonsense. This is standard scammer operating procedure.

II. Running stolen, bug ridden software (the old Bitcoinica codebase) that has already proven itself useless in the marketplace (three times!)

III. Scammers themselves admit to crediting "investors" infinite USD/BTC to execute the naive users.

It's true that scammer tags aren't really given out much anymore, but that's no reason to allow well known scammers run amok. You have been warned.
