technical question to the Bitfinex team: how do you handle now the situation when you loose the API link to Bitfinex? Will you still remove Bitfinex orders from the orderbook temporarily, until you re-establish the API link?

I think you mean to BitStamp.

does it mean i have to market close every margin position and cant sell to close a long?

No it refers to the order book, or the "market depth display" if you want.

A single exchange has typically orders at a bid side and an ask side and a gap in between, called the "spread".
Whenever someone places an limit buy order above current ask price or a limit sell order below current bid price,
this order can be trivially filled and thus will be filled immediately.


But for a service like Bitfinex, which aggregates several actually independent markets, this structure doesn't hold anymore,
since not every limit buy matches automatically with any applicable limit sell order. If you just overlay the offers of two markets
into a single 2nd-level orderbook, it can well happen that the lowest ask order is below the highest bid order, whenever the behaviour of the underlying markets diverges substantially. This situation is known as "crossed orders". This can lead to confusion as to when limit or stop orders are actually triggered by the trading engine.


The change implemented now by the Bitfinex people is that they now don't display such "crossed orders" anymore. Rather they detect them and execute them in a best match way until the crossing has resolved and bid is below ask again. That is what I infer from the quoted statement and from observing how the trading engine works now. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Where do I find the Referral code to give discount to someone?
I remember some people distributing them. Now I have some friends who want to join and I promised them a referral code.

Thanks

could you please explain that like to a 5 year old? for me it reads like "removed pink elephants from the site.."

 No Crossed Orders:  We have made a change that will no longer show
so-called “marketable limit orders” on the order book prior to execution.
This long requested feature is now in production.

does it mean i have to market close every margin position and cant sell to close a long?

Everyone hates America, but everyone has dreams of "Coming to America", why ?
Because your neighbouring countries and the ones down in the south are great.

Anyways, could we please get back on topic instead of "discussing" the US of A?

To be fair, Bitfinex is incorporated in Hong Kong. You should observe the rules in Hong Kong.
Every country has its own calendar, do you think the bank in your country will process your deposit / withdrawal if it is your public holiday?

I think Bitfinex has made the announcement in advance and they have tried to minimize the withdrawal time by temporary changing the bank to Hong Kong. (The holiday in China is even longer)

Don't feed the trolls please.

The guy you're responding to admitted in another thread that he just likes to talk big on random threads, while actually living in his parents basement and only being allowed to use the Internet after his overbearing mother-slash-half sister checked if he wiped well enough after he took a "potty break" as they call it in his grotesquely dysfunctional family.



The ignore function works very well here on bitcointalk.org.
It does wonders.
Just a tip for fellow bitcointalkers who are feeding the trolls.


EDIT: REMEMBER THIS TROLL IMPREGNATED HIS WIFE TWICE AND IS AMERICAN SO HE IS SUPERIOR TO EVERYONE OF YOU COMMIES.

Hey I'm American also,
What is there a problem with having "Americans"
On this Forum or in this Thread ?, I happen to think
That he is not too far off from the truth, if a company
does not service their customers, then another company will, simple !


As for the American part,
Yes America is looked at as the "World's Police"
and it's who every country calls every time their dictatorships fail !

So he is right on that issue also,
Personally I don't think that half the countries we protect and recuse are
Deserving of us "Americans" sending our "Sons & Daughters / Military" to die for,
obviously the two of you are clear examples of that, ungrateful S.O.B.'s

Everyone hates America, but everyone has dreams of "Coming to America", why ?

This already exists: http://charts-bfxdata.rhcloud.com/

But please do make something yourself, too. I like charts & more information.

A graph over LTC and BTC rates and amounts borrowed over time, for example, would be cool (like what the above mentioned site has for USD).

Workin' on it Smiley Overhere you can have a sneak preview:

http://charts-bfxdata.rhcloud.com/graphTotalLendsBTC.php
http://charts-bfxdata.rhcloud.com/graphTotalLendsLTC.php

I will add a complete liquidity stats page for BTC / LTC soon (same as for USD). Almost ready just some final touches and I'll add them.

Just added complete liquidity stats pages for BTC / LTC (same as for USD).
A few considerations:
  • lend books is very "thin" for BTC and LTC liquidity swaps (i.e. very few offers and demands) so depth chart will be a bit hard to read. just click in the legend to hide bids or ask to get a better readable chart.
  • I've just today started collecting data for the lowest liquidity offer / highest liquidity demand for BTC an LTC so the graphs will look a bit odd the first couple of hours, they'll improve  by time (just like a good wine).

One thing I would like: A public trades history page. BFX has one at https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/public_log  and it used to show the last 100 trades. Now it seems this page only shows trades from the last 5 minutes or something, it's only got a few trades on it now.

There already are tables in the BTCUSD, LTCUSD and LTCBTC orderbook pages showing the most recent 300 trades.
http://charts-bfxdata.rhcloud.com/bitfinexOrderbookBTCUSD.php (just scroll down a bit)

If you have more requests / suggestions please let me know and I might just add them Smiley

That's how it looks like when people learn about thread safety and atomicity for the first time in their life - AFTER coding an exchange platform. Roll Eyes

Just try it out, there is an API after all...

Also for the record,
Tomorrow, Tuesday,
will make 1-week from
Wednesday last week the 29th
since I made my withdrawal request.

You guys need to really take a look at
that new withdrawal policy you have implemented,
Don't see how anyone could think that is good business practice,
You are only going to lose customers behind having a police like this in place.

Seriously !
Today, Monday, is the second business day since your withdrawal request (Friday was a national holiday in HK).

Monday is also a public holiday in HK ...


Another Freaking Holiday, Perfect !
even more so now . . . .
If they knew they had a "National Holiday" coming up,
then they should have put that "Stupid Withdrawal Policy"
aside and took care of their International Customers,
No one wants to wait a Freaking Week for a Withdrawal
to take place
, it's their Holiday(s), not ours !

In Short,
"CoinSetter.com",
No 5-Day Holidays in the Western Hemisphere,
They are out of New York and sent me an invite !
https://www.coinsetter.com
In the Western Hemisphere !

Appears to me that Exchanges in the Eastern Hemisphere
such as BitFinex, BtcChina, Huobi, ANX, MtGox and worst of all Global,
have little or no concern for their Western Hemisphere Customers.
Just because the world comes to a complete stop in the Eastern Hemisphere / China,
does not make it so for all the world, any company doing business on a International Level
should be aware of this, only serves to a loss in Customers to ignore it.

Don't think that either one of my LandLords want to hear,
"Sorry, I'm waiting for my funds to arrive from China / Hong Kong, but they are on a 5-Day Holiday",
Does not quite cut it or fit the bill.

They changed the bank to Hong Kong to avoid the new China Regs because Hong Kong is a Special
Economic Zone at least until whatever year in the future before China also ruins that zone, it was not
in an effort to serve their Western Hemisphere Customers any better, it was self-motivated with their
own interests in mind.

fiat withdraw or BTC?


Fiat / USD

Previously before this insane new withdrawal policy
one could make a withdrawal / wire and it would hit your
account inside of 24 to 48 hours !

Not the same BitFinex anymore, guess they are trying to preserve their liquidity,
at our expense, pay the fee or wait, basically holding the cash as "Hostage"
maybe a better word would be leverage, but still all the same !, has put me in a tight spot
have a move planned in the next two days on Feb. 5th and these guys have not even processed my
withdrawal yet, will end up having to pay this current landlord even more cash !, gee Thanks BitFinex !
