Is Lending on POLONIEX any good? I mean do people make decent money out of lending there and if you start lending what is the minimum you need to make a decent bit. Say I want to earn 50 usd a month from lending, how much Bitcoin do I need to have on sight to generate 50 bucks a month profit? I am seriously thinking about lending as a passive form of income so need to know roughly how much would be needed to generate that.
The rate is even more volatile as bitcoin itself.

When you offer a loan at -say- 0.1% there is a big chance it will be taken within 15 minutes or so, because above are only small amounts (in this scenario).
I've had rates as low as 0.015% and as high as 0.6789% - sometimes even better rates were available.
