Where can I find my referral code?

Have I missed something? Who do you mean?

Just as a tip: They are likely not living in HongKong, just look at their business address + registrant name...

If MtGox #2 happen, yes. I would like to visit them and have a chat or two.

They have already put the company address in the fiat deposit page.

However, that address probably is just a proxy address (some sort of proxy secretarial service, you may think of a virtual office). No staff of Bitfinex would be working there as their real physical office should be in somewhere outside Hong Kong.


So, is it really important to put the company address info online?

It's easily available from the HongKong business registry, if you really need that stuff - much more trustworthy from there by the way instead of from BFX themselves imho.

Thanks Chief,

You know,
At first I did not like you that much,
but I have to admit that you are beginning to grow on me !, smile.

P.S.: Thanks for "ALWAYS" being HONEST, that works for me !

One HAPPY Customer here !

Apology "Accepted" !

We are currently working on it

Thanks and have a good day

How about a Streaming API,

The API at   https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/api

Is not a "Streaming API",

And it's really stopping Charting Sites such as:

http://TradingView.com

https://rtbtc.com/

From including BitFinex Charts with Indicators.

This would really help us "TRADERS" out quite a bit !

Thanks !


Everyone is trying to use a Stamp Chart to chart BitFinex
and with the BFX recent changes of becoming more independent
from Stamp that really no longer works, we need our own BitFinex charts, specifically http://TradingView.com BitFinex Charts.

open a usd short position with eur. obviously you need another market for that

i am providing liquidity in USD, however my local currency is EUR. can anyone recommend a cheap way to hedge EUR/USD so i can be immune to exchange rate swings?

Just to report some minor defects on the UI.

and there is some discrepancy in the fee https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/features#exchange .

1) Bitfinex will never reveal to the public the public keys where it stores the Bitcoins and the Litecoins of his customers.
2) Bitfinex will never reveal to the public the banks and the bank accounts where it stores the fiat deposits of his customers.
3) Bitfinex runs a platform where numbers reconciliation involves a pretty sophisticated understanding of the dynamics related to shorting and leveraged trading.  
4) Bitfinex has nothing to hide, doesn't do marginal reserve and will always try to keep all of its customers funds as safe as possible.
5) Bitfinex is in this moment seeking for a solution that would actually make sense in certifying point 4 with respect to points 1, 2 and 3 and we will keep you posted about that.

I believe the above points are pretty easy to understand in their respective motivations.
The technology we are dealing with (Bitcoin and Litecoin) is subject to points of weakness and trading platforms can't be as transparent as the blockchain is, due to risk and safety implications.
We hold these concepts to be self evident.
If somebody is not happy with the above points he can always withdraw his funds and seek for a better option.
Nothing and nobody obliges you to stay.

Have a good day

I understand logic can be taken for arrogance by people that are adverse to being logical.
My post asked a very simple question:
What does a statement like the following add to being more trustworthy?

A third party (non specified) performed a check on our Bitcoins and found we actually have them.
No additional details will be given.

My point was that in order to trust a statement like this you must trust the source of the above statement.
But if you trust the source ( whose statement doesn't add any proof of evidence into the equation ) then to ask for such a statement doesn't make sense.

Call it arrogance, I call it logic.

Have a good day

hi R & G
 can u guys make a html page whereby our username forexample bitfinex(ID for today is :833333 time and date stamp)

part 1
so the html page user 833333 will have all their details including time and datestamp for eg.. user id 833333 timestamp:xxx total btc xxx total ltc xxx total fiat xxx total btc + ltc + fiat
in this case we can actually check ourself if our own amounts are correct.. if anyperson check and their amounts are fake.. they can print screen and show the world.. and if its true then yes u guys have already much proven that the amount is correct.. as for the hotwallet and cold wallet..



part 2 btc and ltc screen auto refresh every 5 mins got time stamp in blockcghain
maybe u guys can have a web view of the  computer screen as in physical screen to your wallet address in block chain..then using a market or a paper u guys can block some part opf the address... which means.. u need to buy a screen for each wallet u guys have.. but masking out   part of address, masking out part is to make sure that u guys have a own unique wallet not wallet from mount gox or huobi wallet..
so example if the user have 1mil bitcoin.. but your cold and hot wallet add up to 500k = means that smt is suspicious.. but if your hot and cold wallet have 980k to 990k++ then its seems still ok..

part 3 for fiats amount (letting ppl know how much that is in your bank and the full account number does not compromise the company $ unless he can hack a bank)
using the physical screen.. login to the ibanking of bitfinex bank account i dont care how many just show all in live cam.. also auto refresh and there is a date stamp too i guess in everybanking system..and letting as see a webpage using a live camera pointing to the screen in clear view...


by doing part 1, we check our own amount and if its correct its good but not enough proof so we proceed to part 2 live camera in front of your hot wallet and cold wallet, u can mask address but not all and lastly a live camera poling to your lcd screen to show us amount of how many banks u guys have.. lets give a + - xxxk if the amount exceeds that means there MIGHT BE A FRAUD..


and well do not tell us that ELECTRICITY is expensive because if u dare to do all this, u guys should have more people coming to bitfinex and u guys earn the commission.. its a win win situation unless u guys wanna keep something hiding from us..


what do u guys think of my idea?? good or bad.. if good pls help me promote it... sorry for bad english... and why i choose live cam instead of live pic because life camera hard to modify and u can even put a fighting fish in a jar beside your desk to show us that ITS REALLY REALLY REALLY LIVE!!!!  because the fish will be swimming and what the fish does is not systematic..

Arrogance is the enemy of the wisdom.

Trust is earned by action not by eloquent talking not to mention arrogant talking.

Best wish to all of our hard earned money put in Binfinex !

Arrogance at its best.

Best of luck to your company.

Firstly, sorry for my bad English if not properly expressing as that is not my native language.

Let's take aside "third party" issue first, since that is only your choice of "to do or not to do" despite any reason or reasoning you could add on it.

Let's get things straight.
If a guy send you a email ,he didn't get response for long time ,you could say maybe it was missing during sending.
If a guy send you multiple emails and get no responses at all for long long time, you could say maybe that is their mail sever problem .
But when more and more guys complaining about long response times to e-mail support, definitively that is your problem !

Your intention is good for letting us to PM you but not good for Bitfinex support, sure course we can "PM you" here on "important topics" ,But what good for Bitfinex support to earn customer trust when just a few people here compare to huge amount customer on Bitfinex offical website ?

Any customer's mail is important for them no matter whether you think or judge it "important" or not !

When your customer's service couldn't accomodate so much customer volume, why not hire more enough people to handle this or just temporarily stop new account application until you have enough capability to handle customer's service ??

Failure customer's service is harmful to customer's trust on any business.

Furthermore ,to what extent can we trust Bitfinex especially when we can't find any Tel no. or any Address of where Bitfinex is located on Bitfinex website ?

Maybe I'm trying to find a logic explanation in Bitfinex's completely illogical in order to trust Bitfinex enough !?

Let me try to understand what you think it is a valid proof of evidence....
Writing that some non specified "third party" audited our numbers and found nothing wrong with them is something what will re-assure you about our honesty?
Don't you think that a statement like this is actually as good as the person writing it?
But if the person that writes it is worth your trust, what sense does it make to ask him to state something like this?

Maybe I'm trying to find a logic in something completely illogical (or I'm just really stupid) but I can't give a rational sense to a request like this.

Finally if you had unanswered emails from support on important topics please PM them to me and I'll take care of it.

Thank you and have a good day
