I've been having fairly consistent problems accessing bitfinex for a while now, is this true for everyone?

Yes me too. But If you wait the URL is becoming like this "bitfinex.com.com" it's weird.
Access it from a search engine (Google or whatever).
I will mail their support.

I have the same weird error where it changes to "bitfinex.com.com"  Huh

However I have bookmarked Bitfinex now and when I try to access the website using
the bookmark it works flawlessly.

The Golden Rule Rules
When does a position actually gets close to being liquidated?  So how close do you have to be to liquidation price to get liquidated?  Because I just started a position and right away that red pop up warning has come, and price hasn't even changed yet.

Thanks, and let me know!

Question to bitfinex support, to deposit bitcoin and withdraw is free, if i start to do like 100 micro withdraws per day to various different addresses is that a problem with you guys?   - The purpose is for games, to send bitcoin with zero fee makes it easier.

Please don't (ab)use an exchange as a web wallet, also there is no API to do withdraws...

There are better services, methods and clients to send microtransactions on the blockchain.

Looks like its been a little over a year since the last Bitfinex Audit. Any word if/when another will be happening?

We will have an announcement in regard to this in the coming weeks. It will be a pretty big announcement and we're looking forward to it and hearing what the community thinks.  

Hi Zane,

I looked at the Bitfinex LTC/USD chart and I am disturbed to see that is no speed bumps for LTC. To be clear, I am referring to the sudden drop on April 9th, about 4:25 AM EST. The price dropped from about $1.57 to about $0.98 or a -37.57% drop in the span of ~2-5 minutes. Why speed bumps for BTC and not LTC? Makes me lose a bit of confidence in the platform seeing that and I don't even trade LTC (nor am I bullish on either BTC or LTC right now to consider a long). Are there still speed bumps for BTC/USD? In the event it doesn't function as intended, does that mean Bitfinex will roll back trades?

Thank you for your time

In the google hangout interview this week, they said there's still a mechanism that throttles orders which would move the market by more than 10% but that this throttle wasnt needed in months (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk4Dl4aaBuo , was somewhere in the 2nd half iirc ). But that was about BTC/USD. They didnt say anything about LTC in that regard.

Hi!
Does bitfinex provide public historical data? I found documentation page https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/api but it seems timestamp parameter for GET /trades/:symbol request does not work at all.

I already saw flash return rate on the swap demand side. How can this happen? If there is only one Flash Return Rate then it would be the same. If one wants to receive a swap and choses FRR then his order should be matched against the big FRR-Wall on offer side of the orderbook. But i have seen FRR entries on the demand side already. The rates didnt match to the rates that were normal in demand side. Im not sure if FRR was existend on the offer side at that moment.

I will make a screenshot when i see it again.

It's the lending times. If someone wants to get a FRR swap for 30 days but noone's offering for that timeframe (only swaps offered for durations of <29 days), then there can be an FRR wall on the offer-side, peacefully co-existing with the usual FRR-wall.

So what is your explaination for someone who takes the high priced rates behind FRR-Wall? Accounts that wer created before that checkbox was implemented so that its not enabled to chose variable rates? I cant see how someone would get an advantage from. Maybe they only dont realize they have this setting.

I'm sure someone would have been quite happy to get a fixed rate at 0.03% a few weeks ago (while the FRR was at 0.025%). The rate went up quick and stayed there. Everybody who did get a fixed rate for a long timeframe... well, won big.

Thanks for your explaination. (I hope the new forum has a thank you button. Tongue)

Hm... in that case its definitively a bug when FRR shows up on the swaps demand side. I saw them there often and was wondering why since the rates werent the way that they could be there.

FRR and fixed-rate swaps are two separate entities occupying space on the same order book even though they can't really be matched against each other (although they are commonly taken interchangeably by the auto-borrow system employed to find swaps for traders who don't do so manually. So a FRR demand can stay on the book despite the existence of lower fixed-rate offers, because those offers haven't agreed to use the variable rate (which could take the rate of return lower still during the course of the swap).

Meanwhile swaps of different durations add yet another dimension to an already complex set of offers/demands - can be the case that FRR offers don't get matched against FRR demands because the minimum duration demanded is more than the maximum duration offered.



Oh, you mean taking an FRR rate means that your taken swap constantly changes the daily rate? I did not think so. I thought its only for offering the swaps. When the swaps are taken then its a normal swap with the rate fixed for the rate it had when you took it.
Would be a strange setup if it works not that way.

Strange or not... when you agree to a variable rate swap, the rate varies during the duration of the swap. If you check the FAQ, that's presented as a beneficial feature - since FRR tends to rise when the price of BTC is on the up and fall when the price goes down (which is only really true in the broadest/loosest sense, but whatever), if a trader takes a FRR swap it'll (probably) only become more expensive if they're simultaneously profiting from the rising price.

Thanks for the explaination.
