Yeah, a csv of history data would be really great, it has been requested already for ages by now.

I'm not too sure if a JS generated one would help, as the main use for me would be to process it further and I would prefer something more "official" for that.

is gone??

Anyway, would anyone be interested in some js code to export your history to json and csv doc and a php script to filter data? I can share when it's done Wink

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


Can we get more details around some of these assurances?  What banks are do you have accounts with?  Where exactly are you located, and where exactly are you registered as a corporation?  Right now, all we have is a name and an email address on the website.  It does not engender much confidence and that is why I only keep play money with your website.

On several occasions recently it seems my orders to the Bitstamp exchange didn't get place ... once for about 20 minutes as I watched the market frequently trade through my price. I love BFX, but the site is flawed and traders need to stay on their toes.

Bitfinex is HK based, and not directly affected by mainland regulatory position re: deposits and withdrawals. Yet.

Hello,

If you can send by PM some order references I'd be interested in this. We are not aware of such problems. Please note that limit orders are not place on Bitstamp orderbook, so for example limit bid will only be matched by limit ask on Bitstamp, not by market orders from Bitstamp.

Thanks

Did you see your order in the list/orderbook? Don't forget the fees of 0.12% and 0.35% respectively on BitFinex and BitStamp. Sounds little. But at 700$, 0.35% is 2.45$. This makes the 680$ order into a 677.55$ order in the orderbook..
Well, at least my orders were always executed when the price was met.

Any comments from BFX on this?

"To revoke your API key, click here"

This might be a bug. I don't think I created an API key.  And if I didn't create one, there shouldn't be one by default.

I don't have any API keys there. Never created one, never deleted one.
You better find out what's going on there? Delete the key, change your PW?

Please enable export to spreadsheet (csv and xls).  Consider using DataTables.  http://datatables.net/

So the Chinese rule is for "third party payment providers" and not banks.
Where did you find this info?

That ban only affects payments through companies like OkCoin; bank and bitcoin tranfers in and out of exchanges are alright, IMHO.

I think Bitfinex is actually a China-based exchange (Hong Kong is China).  So we could be in for all sorts of trouble -- IF this is true. Is it?

Sorry if the question has been asked.

Do BFX limit orders flow to Bitstamp order book?  Huh Huh Huh

Does anyone know when exactly some of the interest fee's for borrowing gets fully settled?  I think the swap amount only calculates precisely what is shown under the borrowed tab.  However, when one takes a position, the money is not shown in the borrowed amount right away even though interest has already been incurring.  Same thing with when closing a loan and finding a better rate.  I think for about 30-60min nothing is shown under borrowed tab, but interest is still incurring.
