I've just read this:

Quote

We are suspending all ETH withdrawal until the network backlog subsides and we are able to reliably post transactions to blockchain. We apologize for any inconvenience

As I understand it, this is not related to exchange itself but rather to problems with the Ethereum network, and if we don't have ETH (well, at least I don't have any), there is nothing to worry about. Does it mean that the Ethereum chain is broken and could that herald the beginning of the end for this coin so much anticipated lately? ETH price seems to be tanking, almost 10% down within the last couple of hours

So could anyone more knowledgeable chime in on this?

Locking withdrawal address could be dangerous if you lose access
to the withdrawal address.

Write down the private key for your Bitfinex withdrawal address and store it where you have stored backups from all your other private keys? Just a thought.

Written paper can be lost or destroyed (e.g. a fire burning down the house where you store it) or even be unreadable
due to fading out.

True. What I meant to say, just don't forget to backup the private key for your Bitfinix withdrawal address with your preferred backup strategy and this is as safe as any other BTC you have on any other address. Wink

Thank you guys for your help though, I will probably go with a combination of 2FA and withdrawal confirmations.

Is there any additional method to secure your BFX account aside from 2FA?

There are quite a few options there

You may whitelist IP addresses which are allowed to access the site (though it is not really recommended if you have a dynamic IP address). You may also disallow withdrawals from new IP addresses for 24 hours in case someone steals your credentials and tries to withdraw your funds. If I'm not mistaken, you can also lock withdrawal addresses, i.e. the withdrawals will be possible only to the specified addresses. There seem to be a few other options but I didn't look into them

Thank you for the explanation of available methods!
Unfortunately, my ISP only offers dymanic IP adresses Lips sealed

I didn't check that thing myself, but it seems that you can still change your withdrawal address (i.e. it is not fixed once and for all). You will most likely have to confirm the change just like you confirm your withdrawals themselves. So it is not as dangerous as it looks. As to me, I'm not very fond of 2 factor authentication if it involves using some side code (like Google authenticator). Personally, I chose the option of confirming withdrawals via an SMS code sent to my phone

I guess that will suffice for most intents and purposes, so to speak

You can deposit, withdraw and trade cryptos as much as you want at any amount without any verification.
Only getting fiat on and off needs verification.
You can, for example, send BTC to BitFinex, trade all pairs (including USD), and withdraw your gains in Ether.

Prompt without verification with scanning of documents it is possible to trade on bitfinex? If small amounts? So let's say as on Polo or until all of the hardware is passed you can not get and take out bitcoins?

Does anyone trade on Bitfinex know how to calculate their fees? I can't find a definite list of my fees per trade.

Do they automatically calculate it into my trade price? effective trade pricing? Bittrex does that well.

Unlike other exchanges (e.g. Btc-e), they take the fees not from the amount you bought, but from your leftover balance. That may cause a lot of confusion, for example, when you place a Sell order of, say, 1 BTC and have no leftover (i.e. your available balance becomes 0), your order will be filled only partially (order amount minus fees). If you want to see the list of fee transactions, you go to Account->Reports->Balances, and then choose the currency which you traded

Are cryptocurrency withdrawals working flawlessly at this exchange today?

They will have a second transaction that removes the fee amount from your account.
