Post by: zby on January 30, 2013, 10:21:49 AM

Currently their lending rates are: "69.9% a year for dollars, 23.9% a year for bitcoins" - anyone knows how it was historically?  Not bad rates by the way.

They offer customers to lend funds for traders. Customers determine rates.

And I dont find that rates good.

Also we should mention ICBIT.se
They offer futures trading, on leverage (as usual).
With futures, users trade against each other, so the platform doesn't need reserves.
Positions are "marked to market" every evening, i.e. gains/losses are continuouosly transferred.
