Hello guys,
So our silence is finally broken: yes we added DRK. Now I want to address all of our dear long term users that were sceptical about this move.
First, not only are DRK pairs exchange only, but DRK in trading wallet are not used as collateral for margin positions. At all.
Secondly we are committed to respect the laws that applied to a financial platform like Bitfinex, including due diligence on KYC/AML policies (as the most recent users can probably attest
). However, this should not prevent us to express what we feel is right, in this case financial privacy. We do not believe (and have been advised on the matter) that adding an "anonymity-oriented" crypto-currency poses any kind of legal threat. Read Satoshi's paper to understand that Bitcoin itself is a challenge to the existing rules/system.
Finally I have made my best to make DRK mentions as non intrusive as possible for those that don't want the current front-end to be invaded.
Long story short, don't leave us, we love you
Have a good day
Raphael
@coins101: You can make a wire directly from your GBP bank account, you should be able to request the receiving currency to be USD. Otherwise funds are converted in USD upon receival (but at probably a less interesting rate).
