Flashrate is fine, it is those stupid people that put in "market orders" for lending out money and even renewing them at laughable rates without actually looking at the current market situation.

FRR at least can go up over time again, people lending at 0.05% with autorenew are driving FRR down though and screw everybody else.

Anyways, you just have to predict a few nice spikes and hope for a lazy borrower to get into some nice positions, with current volatility I hope traders are having a lot of fun and profit too!

I think the flashrate is killing the lending orderbook, it creates an artificial wall and you can't see how much is being offered and @ what rate and duration. Everything is lumped into one giant ugly order. People need to see all the orders in the orderbook, that is the way a market is supposed to function.

Is the Bitfinex website being spoofed? I just tried to login but was unable to... It kept just asking for my two factor authentication over and over... I'm freaking out now... Bitfinex... Pls halt withdrawals...

I just don't understand they don't make e-mail confirmation mandetory for withdrawels.. locking withdrawel adresses helps though.

+1 for email confirmation...

It is email notification for BTC withdrawal with 2FA enabled.

Email confirmation should have a link to click to trigger the withdrawal.

The only chink in the armor seems to be egopay, I'm not too familiar with it, is it possible to remove it as an option or tie it down to my email address as well?

Good idea. Maybe give the option to remove this altogether.
Also email-confirmations are a good idea too.
How about a second 2Factor for withdrawal? Then you can't reuse the stolen 2Factor used for the ("failed") login, and can even seperate the second 2Factor to another mobilephone. Which you keep at home or something.

Quick question, is it possible to "lock down" an account... What I mean is lock all withdrawal methods so that even if someone gains access to your account they still can't get any cash... You can lock a bitcoin/litecoin withdrawal address, the wire transfer is tied to your name... The only chink in the armor seems to be egopay, I'm not too familiar with it, is it possible to remove it as an option or tie it down to my email address as well?

about the minimum order size in btcusd:

{"message":"Invalid order: minimum amount for margin order is 1"}

0.01 only applies to the webinterface? on the api its 0.1

hy,
tradable_balance is not decreased according to the amount of open orders. as one is not allowed to place orders exceeding the tradable_balance, wouldnt it be logical to decrease tradable_balance according to amount in open margin orders? (analog to the balance on exchange beeing decreased because of open orders).

how it is, one has to compute how much of the margin is left for orders, when an order is open and cannot rely on tradable_balance, or do i miss something?.
thx

Does the closing of Chinese exchange accounts affect Bitfinex in any way ?
I don't think so.

For all of u still wondering Wink

This was already asked and answered by bitfinex here:

Hello everyone,

Since we have a lot of questions after the news from China, here is our answer:

We are Hong-Kong based. Furthermore, the bank account we used for deposit is in Pudong, which is a special economic zone of China ("charter zone"). You can read more about it here: http://www.chinatravel.com/shanghai-attraction/pudong-special-economic-zone/ This zone does not follow the same rules than mailand China especially for financial matters.

As such, we are not operating inside China, the accounts in the Shanghai special economic zone are off-shore, therefore technically outside China. Aside from that we also have accounts in Hong Kong, with most of the funds, so operations will not be affected by changes in China.

I hope this clears out questions you may have,

Let me know if you have any more questions
Best regards
Raphael

Question to the Bitfinex pros (I'm an on/off trader there myself, but not much lately)...
Is there a way to see "pure" finex volume anywhere? I.e. only those trades not routed to stamp?
Because, unless I'm mistaken, pages like http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ show the combined volume of internal and external volume under Bitfinex.

With around 15mln in active swaps (which btw reflects only open long positions on margin), my feeling is that Bitfinex does not even have/need Bitstamp routing of orders any more. So, what you see on price charting sites in terms of the traded volume, is probably what it is internally, but I can be wrong.

Can we have the option of generating READ-ONLY keys? Or even better, granular ACLs, like a key that allows swap operations but not trading, etc.
That would instantly enable a whole ecosystem of connected services using the Bitfinex API.

I know it's probably for security reasons. But an API call to handle moving money between wallets would be nice.

Before I open a support ticket can anyone explain why if I have an open position on margin that is fully covered by my current wallet balance that when I just made a BTC deposit I wasnt able to move the whole of that deposit from my margin wallet to deposit wallet?

Use exchange section to trade without margin.

Margin section will always borrow fund for you even if you have the money to cover the position.

You misunderstand, I had an open position which was fine and it was on margin borrowing USD, I just deposited X BTC to my account all fine again. However I then went to move exactly X BTC that I had deposited and it would not let me move the whole lot instead it took a portion and added that into the BTC in my margin wallet and allowed me to remove the rest to the swaps wallet...

Your position probably went in excess of the 2.5:1 leverage, therefore a portion of your additional deposit went to cover that.

Im on 2:1 leverage and I had more than enough BTC to cover my long down to like $50 lol. This definately shouldnt have happened, will open a ticket. Thanks.
