Is there any fee for using this system, and can you set it up to be dynamic or do you have to set the % you're going for?

Crypto Lend does not cost whatsoever, and you can choose a strategy for the types of loans/% return. First you put your Bitcoin on one of the supported exchanges. In your profile on the exchange you can generate an API key, which you copy over to your Crypto Lend profile. This allows the Crypto Lend bot to loan out funds on your behalf. By ensuring "Withdraw" permissions are disabled when you generate your API key, you can have some extra peace of mind that Crypto Lend does not even have the ability to withdraw your money from your exchange account. You can always login to the exchange to see your loans, including the ones made by the Crypto Lend bot.

After copying over your API key and secret, go to the Crypto Lend "Strategy" page to Activate lending on the exchange. Every few minutes the Crypto Bot checks your account(s) through the APIs, and if there are funds in your Lending account on the exchange it'll automatically choose the best rates according to your strategy. I use the default strategy, sometimes the Crypto Bot takes an offered loan and other times it offers my funds as a new loan.

Also note that the "Loans" page shows averages for the day in GMT.

A few days ago I read about this Crypto Lend service in passing on reddit. Personally, I find all the exchange funding pages to be very complex, and the chart of lending/borrowing is always changing, so I am happy to let a service do this step for me. Obviously I am very pleasantly surprised to find that the service is free, and by using API keys through exchanges there's no risk from the service itself. I've got to say I am really impressed! So far I've only put 2.5 BTC on exchanges to be lent, but it has been lending and working well for me. At first I was under the impression that there was an element of arbitrage, where the cryptolend service would find the best rates and move BTC between the exchanges. But that's not the case, you put your money on the exchanges manually, where the Crypto Lend bot can see it at which point it sets the bitcoin to lend though that exchange's API.

Bitmex:
I'm a little wary of doing this on Bitmex because there are so many warnings and the concept of lending on Bitmex is complicated. Plus you get charged some sort of fees for the conversion/opening, I just have no idea what I'm doing there so I've stayed away.

Bitfinex/Poloniex:
The rates since I've started two days ago for Bitfinex have been less than half of Poloniex, so I've put a bit more on Poloniex. This point has nothing to do with Crypto Lend as a service, but just to say it's working well on both exchanges lending BTC.

Final worries:
Crypto Lend is awesome, I wish there was a way for you to take a % of the profits because that seems like some good goal congruence, but I guess without actually giving Crypto Lend control of the funds, that'll never happen fluidly (invoice people maybe? First 1BTC of profit is free, then pay $30?). Since my coins are usually just sitting around anyhow, I wish there was less risk to my cold storage if I were to put them on these exchanges! If I could have even the smallest guarantee or insurance against exchange hack/theft, I would let Crypto Lend take care of lending all of my funds.
3  Bitcoin / Electrum / View the xPub key from multisig electrum wallet on: June 20, 2016, 04:07:04 PM
When I restore a multisig wallet in Electrum 2.6.4, the dialog appropriately prompts me to put in the three xPub or seeds needed to view the funds in the multisig wallet. When I click Wallet->Master Public Keys, I can then review these 3 public keys which makeup the multisig wallet.

Obviously in this case Electrum has deterministically generated some addresses from this combination. How can I see or generate a single xPub key for the multi-sig wallet so I may view all the transactions in a wallet-watching service?
