It doesn't have a green "lock" icon like other sites that use https, only a grey one.

It has a valid certificate for me. Are you using Tor? Make sure you're not dealing with a MITM attack.

bitfinex doesn't have a valid certificate? according to firefox at least, when using https?

Query for your balance and offer this amount?

How can I "offer all" swaps via API instead of specifying only a certain amount? Basically the same way as the "offer all" button works?

I started a new thread in the Securities section to speculate on the TH1 value:

When is Bitfinex going to offer more shares?  It looks like demand is strong.

Just a GUESS: Did you enter something like 380,10 (actually 38010 on the BFX system!) when you wanted 380.10?

If this is the case then you are not the first one who have learned not do use a , on BFX the hard way.

(if this is indeed the case then perhaps R should consider accepting , as a . or .. donno. consider writing something in the FAQ or something but I am not sure anyone would read that before after the fact anyway)

It could be that you did something else "not expected".

There is "nothing wrong" with order placements at BFX right now. It works just fine - yet this happened to you. This indicates that you did something different from the rest of us. Note exactly what you did and what you typed if this happens to you again. I am not sure this is true anymore but it used to be that if you entered $price (like $380) and not just a number then your order was made into a market order (not going to test if this is still true, but I do not think it is).

I hear ya, it's frustrating, but you're offering funds for the purpose of trading, which as an activity is inherently just full of unpredictable timing, so charging the fee for a full 30 days when the funds weren't used for that long isn't the answer, especially since anyone borrowing on auto is just taking the best rate regardless of duration (so will occasionally get a 30 day loan regardless of their actual intentions).

Look at it from the perspective of a trader; they may already only be scraping a thin profit margin, if they're lucky enough to be in profit at all, so effectively getting charged punitively for exiting their position "early" is just going to kill whatever chance they had of coming out ahead. It'd be a very different contract if "Full fee charged regardless of actual duration" was part of it... can't say I'd expect anyone to take you up on that version.

If you've got the time to babysit your swaps you can set email notifications for when they're paid back, which reduces the task from "Check on them every few minutes like an obsessive" to "When your email goes ding, go re-lend whatever just got returned". Or if you want to be more hands-off about it there's the auto-renew option; pick a rate to set it at once per day or every few hours or whatever fits your schedule.

You get the interest for the few hours/days that the money is being at risk. You can autorenew at any rate that you think is worth that risk, if there are no takers at that price, then you shouldn't lend in the first place (or do you think that risk magically changes, so you can lower your interest rates? If yes, then the situation you describe is really a problem).

I suggested several ways how to improve the situation for lenders, Bitfinex rather seems to like to incorporate in other jurisdictions, sever ties with Bitstamp introduce mining contracts(?!) and bots that hurt lenders though. Maybe in the future there will be some more features towards helping lenders, I wouldn't get my hopes up though too much, after all "ideally" Bitfinex would have enough money themselves so they can get the full fee from offering money, not just 15% of the interest.

There does seem to be a problem with the new leverage changes.  If I hold btc and go full long then it seems to be correct but if I hold btc and go full short it doesn't seem to allow me to borrow the full amount that I should be able to - that is, to get the full effective amount I would have to exchange the btc first and hold dollars and then go full short.

Hi, I'm new to finex and there's something I don't understand: When lending swaps and I take the risk of making it 30 days so I can't access my money for 30 days then the other party can still cancel that swap after just a day or even an hour if he likes to?? Where's the point. If someone takes my loan for 30 days then I expect the full 30d to be covered with interest or at least him paying a fee if he returns it earlier. Why should I take a risk for nothing?? And it's really annoying to have to check all your swaps every hours because of this! flash return rate autorenew is useless because frr is usually too high and has several lower-priced offers that get taken instead, so my money would be idle for 1/3 the time or even worse if I used frr. How do you fellow lenders handle this problem?

Hello,

This is correct. The cache has now been totally deactivated and you should not get the wrong balances displayed on this page.

We will monitor the situation closely but no account could be compromised because of this.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Have a good day
Raphael

Some reports say the bug is a read only cache leak related to the CDN they use to serve your region, and that the other accounts you see when the bug is triggered are from people using your same CDN server (same region). Still no official confirmation/response.

Rafael or the new PR guy you should haul ass over here ASAP to tell us what the fuck is going on.

I can confirm the bug although I can't seem to recreate it consistently...

after logging in and clicking on the 'order book' button i get someone else's username flashing and i see their balance and account info.  i hit refresh and i get another different username's info flashing.

this needs to be fixed.  so far im unable to trade the user's account, after the flash, it shows my own account balance.

Yes, there is a bunch of talk on Tradingview about this. I personally was shown the username of another user, and for a moment, their balance, when clicking on the Order Book button. When going back to the exchange/margin trading pages, my name seems to return to normal. Many reports of this.

To recreate the bug: have your BFX account open in one tab, then open the full Order Book in a new tab.

Please respond ASAP, BFX management.

anybody else get momentarily "logged in" to someone else's account? my name changed on my account for a few minutes, but when i refreshed it went back. my details never seemed to change. but this is very worrisome.

very confusing, MT4 better than this

Change your account type to "Trader" from within your account options.


Could BFX team please check if there are any issues with order placements. I just had series of orders executed via what looks like market orders, which I never do (I always use limit orders and did so this time). This resulted in much higher fees for me and wrong price. I've also had that popup window coming up as I was placing orders, mentioning that my order is "above available price", which I double checked and it was not. I was only able to discover that orders were executed at the wrong price, by looking at the history of latest trades.

i can't see leverage here. only 1:1
