Even if you don't know the exact amount, more or less how much do you think is realistic per year using 30 days FRR? 15%? 20%?

...
I use one for another exchange.
What kind of experience do you want to hear?
It works fine and is of course very safe, at least if only you have access to it.
But I fear the moment it breaks, cause you can not make a backup of it (as you can make with the Google Auth. Secret/Barcode)
If it breaks you have no other choice but writing support and proove that you are who you claim to be. And that might only work, if you are verified. (I don't know procedure of bitfinex for this)

This is harder to determine than you might think, since I have also some income through the referrals from the link in my signature. They also tend to be quite spammy (10% of BFX's fees which alre 0.1% of an order or less is not a lot for each transaction). As the ref income is also lent out automatically, it is a bit hard to determine what the "pure" return would have been, since I earn interest on additional money that others probably don't have.

Last but not least, it is a bit hard to download the reports automatically (I am a customer for many years on BFX by now with a 3 digit userID...) and downloading everything at once is not really feasible either (the resulting CSV would take forever to generate and would be quite large). In general I am happy with my returns though, they are a bit on the low end against a bot that undercuts other bots maybe - but it requires less maintenance and even though "my whale" that I apparently referred seems less active lately, others have increased their activity instead. Any money I lose because I am not running and maintaining a bot is probably offset by these returns.

FRR 30d is especially nice in a generally stable/falling BTCUSD market, so currently it is not as great in catching all these small spikes when funds are running dry while BTC jumps a few 100 USD in price and everyone wants to go margin long.

Has anybody secured their Bitfinex account using a hardware device based on the U2F standard (e.g. Yubikey)?
I´m thinking about doing just that and was hoping that someone who uses a device like this
could share his experiences.

What you guys think will the impact be of the chinese problems/closing at the moment. Implications for finex. Where are they based now, I could't find it on a quick look at the homepage?

Additionally, there are great lending rates available due to the current bear market
(especially for Litecoin!).

Hi! How can I generate my OWN referal link with my OWN referal code? Thanks in advance!

I can confirm that

Even API is lagging severely. I send a command, and it just times out within a minute or so. Then I send it again, and it passes through without a hitch (until the next one). It is obvious that their servers can't cope with the load when some huge market move is under way. But it's still somewhat bearable and a way better than at Poloniex where everything just freezes in similar circumstances, and you can't do anything at all

Bitfinex working as hell

It's possible, that's what I plan to do.

I'm new to Bitfinex - I'm non-US citzen - is it possible to just send btc to the exchange,
sell it for USD and lend this amount of USD out for margin traders?
The way back would obviously be, buying bitcoin with usd and transfering btc back to a private wallet.

Is that possible? Or do you always have to wire usd to your funding wallet?
Thanks.
