Bitfinex already become second largest BTC exchange for USD weighted average.
How true is that?

exchange     volume %       volume ฿        last price
bitstamp     36.67%         39,255.46        672.0 USD
bitfinex     36.06%         38,602.91      675.0 USD
btce             26.55%          28,424.78      651.3 USD

https://bitcoinaverage.com/markets.htm#USD-nomillibit

in fact bitfinex is already the largest exchange... just think
about how much of bitstamps volume is due to trades on bitfinex  Wink

Are you sure that Bitfinex originated trades and sent to BitstampStamp, are not double reported? My feeling is that they are, but I am not saying that this is a problem whatsoever.

could be possible, not entirely sure about this...

…but it is not shown anymore as Bitstamp orders since a few days. Does that mean they still have orders routed via Bitstamp and just don't show them for better usability, or did they disconnect from Bitstamp?

One thing I could not find out.

yes they don´t show them as Bitstamp orders, but rather include them in the Bitfinex orderbook. This should results in better usability (because the Bitstamp fee is already included
in the displayed price)

Insufficient funds bug is fixed (at least for me).

For me as well. Bitfinex replied with an email only half a day later. Good service…

Also why do i need a invitation code to ask question on the BFX forum ?? how do i get one ?

This confused me for months as well, because it wasn't in the original registration email or anywhere else. Turns out BFX send out 2 emails when you sign up, one for the platform, and another one with an invitation code for the forums. Just search your email for 'bitfinex invited' and it should come up.

uiui, do they also use this txid like gox?
Probably at least to display them in the payout overview... if you send BTC via the RPC command you get back the TXID. The fact that you are not supposed to log that at all since it is meaningless and NOT an "ID number" for a "transaction" but merely something that might reappear (or not) on the block chain at some point maybe eventually is not made very clear at the very least.

Anyways, I bought some more cheap coins, happy to unload these suckers once people realize that this is just an annoyance but nothing more. At least it's Tuesday so no weekend shifts for the backend devs.

The real unanswered question is whether Bitfinex uses this txid themselves in their accounting.  If so, then people could continue to withdrawal BTC they don't have.

Raphael already said that they don't. They display it in their withdrawals overview though, depending on how they get that ID it might be the case that the TXID displayed there is wrong. I would expect them to check mined blocks though and only display TXIDs that show up in there. Safer that way.

No, what he said was that he believe that MtGox's problem was "an internal MtGox issue".  It was not even clear that Raphael even understood the problem.  I mean, it's hard to a imagine an exchange accounting system that *doesn't* use transaction ID to ID transactions as their primary database key.

Stamp seems to have been caught off-guard.  In any case, Bitfinex is still impacted because they have coins locked on the Stamp platform now.  Bitfinex support should be releasing a statement of some kind (assuming anyone is awake).

One last thing: we are not impacted by the problem of Bitcoin withdrawals MtGox have. When a withdrawal seems to have failed, we use the bitcoin address to do a manual double check. So far this is not an issue.

I hope he revisits the issue and also the solution MtGox proposed actually IS a reasonable one and would be nice to have (and more useful as an actual TransactionID rather than the current TXID), let's hope people stop the flaming and this stuff gets into bitcoind asap.




What's needed is an "Official Statement" regarding the Stamp situation,
until then everyone is left guessing in the dark.

As to if anyone is "Awake or Not" is irrelevant,
one does not sleep when a crisis like this is at hand
without "First" putting out an "Official Statement" to put out the fires:

I placed some limit-buy orders on the Exchange. 

After placing four orders that used up around 60% of my money (if they execute), it says that I have run out of money.  I also have three market sell orders for BTC that I already have on the exchange.

I've sent support an email.



Same with me half an hour ago. used about 3 fifth of my funds for limit buy orders, then this message came "invalid order. not enough balance".

Had this before already. Sent support email as well.

Quite a strange bug … or they are hedging against something in their software without telling us. I don't have this every day and have tried various remedies, like deleting active orders and re-entering them, etc.

same here, can't sell any amount though I have enough btc not tied to an order (if there even is such thing).

edit: cancelled some other sell orders and even then, nothing.
All btc gone from bitstamp because of the wall guy a few hours back?

You definitely need twitter for quick updates and announcements, not everyone has the time to skim through this thread every day.
But I guess you have other things to do right now Smiley

Anyone else getting a "Pending Approval" for their withdraws?

Possibly the hot wallet is depleted and needs to be replenished?

(assuming anyone is awake).

this is starting to be a nice running gag  Grin

Nevertheless I really think that the Bitfinex team handled the recent flash crash quite well.
Keeping the lenders millions of $ safe should be the top priority, because only this
enables us traders to use the advantages of margin trading.

Just seen a 20000 btc sell wall around $ 650 on bitfinex LOL. Quickly removed.

He must have meant to hit the "hide order" checkbox.  LOL.
