My money, my decisions, my risk.
I wouldn't for example take money from friends (or "investors" for that matter) and deposit it on their behalf on Bitfinex, managing a larger portfolio and taking a cut from the profits... it would be possible of course to do that, but I would not feel comfortable with it. On the other hand I do not really discuss this stuff with others. Some people act a bit smug/concerned when they hear "Bitcoin has crashed" to which I usually reply "to the value it had half a year ago - so what?", but that's about it actually.

Well, Bitcoin died years ago too, didn't you get the news?  |

What do you mean by "real open"?  Ripple is released under a license that is even more permissive than the one used by Bitcoin (ISC vs. MIT). You seem to confuse Ripple (the network) with XRP ("ripples), the currency. |

Gleich mal 20% mehr verlangen als am Anfang, warum auch immer...
Außerdem schon mal ganz toll in so einige Scams (Neo&Bee) investiert gehabt.
Naja, wem's gefällt?

Flashrate is fine, it is those stupid people that put in "market orders" for lending out money and even renewing them at laughable rates without actually looking at the current market situation. FRR at least can go up over time again, people lending at 0.05% with autorenew are driving FRR down though and screw everybody else. Anyways, you just have to predict a few nice spikes and hope for a lazy borrower to get into some nice positions, with current volatility I hope traders are having a lot of fun and profit too!  |

Just-Dice hat nicht sehr viel in ihrer hot wallet, genauso wie Bitfinex. Dort kann man übrigens geborgtes Geld nur zum Trading einsetzen, nachrennen muss man da niemandem. Ich erinnere mich nicht, dass die mal gehackt worden wären - allerdings wurden schon manchmal Trades ausgesetzt/zurückgedreht, falls es eine Kettenreaktion gab weil z.B. ein User mit viel Geld gephisht wurde. No risk, no fun... Edit: Also realisierst du erstmal deinen Verlust, gleich mal mit 15 BTC? Warum genau? |

Also du willst Daytrading machen, aber die Bitcoins zwischendurch wieder von Exchanges abziehen?! Meine Alternativen: Am 1. Tag 75 BTC kaufen, auf Just-Dice legen: ~3 BTC Gewinn (siehe https://bitcoinproject.net/justdice.php 27.3. - 14.4.) Fiat auf Bitfinex legen (nach Bankgebühren etc. etwa 40-41k USD) und für FRR verleihen: ~750+ USD Gewinn (siehe http://charts-bfxdata.rhcloud.com/ 27.3. - 14.4.) Viel Erfolg beim Höhen- und Tiefenraten!  |

You're just describing Ripple here... What would be good would be an alt-coin which has no minting. You get alt-coins by sending bitcoins to some address. This then credits your account on the alt-chain.
Similarly, you can redeem the alt-coins back into bitcoins.

Overstock should sell preloaded Bitcoin paper wallets, then you could buy them for PayPal... |

Private keys anyways should be in RAM only for a few fractions of a second: read them from HDD, decrypt them, sign whatever you need to sign (message, transaction...), zero them out again and done.

The real solution is simply to not get malware and update often, IMO.
If you did NOT update to OpenSSL 1.0.1 (thus updating rarely/late) you were not hit by heartbleed... You might be exposed to other (less severe) security issues that way though. |

So weit ich das verstanden habe, wird meist die "stärkere" Währung als Basis genommen (BTCUSD wird damit argumentiert z.B.), generell ist das aber eine recht einfache Rechnung, einen Bruch umzukehren... |

I answered this already the last time, they know about it, they investigated, they likely have other priorities right now though.

PoS is a weighted (the "stake") version of consensus I guess. Because it would be easy to do sybil attacks (introduce a lot of "sock puppet" nodes that you control secretly) that way, Ripple has a UNL (unique node list) instead, so every validator in the network also is free to choose from the pool of total validators, which ones are likely not colluding. The advantage is that others can not force themselves into the system by just buying their way in (as in PoS), the disadvantage is that it is difficult to build a "real" UNL (that fulfills the "unique" part).

It says "password" and "password confirmation" right below these fields... |

Hey everyone.. I'm new to bitcoin trading. I have a lot to learn before I actively start trading. So in the meantime, I wanted to use BitFinex to make some minimal gains via interest while I learn the ropes. I just spent the last few days getting my accoutn verified but still waiting on some money I deposited to clear.
Looks like the current return rates for swap lending is around 0.12-0.13%... I will test this out with about $100 to see what the whole deal is. But if it works out, I'm looking to deposit around $125,000
My question is, does all your money in your account get used up for lending immediately? Or does the system only use part of your money depending on the demand? Still trying to wrap my head around the whole process.
Thanks for any insight.
Cheers.

Lending aka. "providing USD swap contracts" is entirely market based - you put up offers for time, rate and amount and people who need money can then choose to take your offer or not (if it is too short or too expensive for them for example). As already said I'd recommend to look at the bfxdata chart site to see how high you can price your interest, if you have no idea at all and just want to lend out as fast and much as possible "flash return rate" is also an option, it is just the global average interest rate, so if interest rates go up, you'll profit too and if there is little demand and they go down, you'll automatically offer your money a bit cheaper as well. If you plan on setting rates yourself ask yourself if it might make more sense to wait a few hours and lend out money at 0.2% instead of always trying to be the cheapest offer in the market to get taken immediately. If you get similar rates as I do, you'd make ~175USD/day with 125k USD. If you lend out at 0.12% fixed, you'd get ~135 USD/day and lending rates have been below that. If more lenders enter with such crazy amounts (I hope you are prepared/able to loose all of it with little to no recourse, Bitfinex is not a bank!), it likely will go down. I personally make my own prices (and do quite well compared to FRR as a minimum base line) but it can get boring and is a bit luck based too. Please just don't set it to 0.1% for example and forget about it - it hurts the average, you are loosing ~50% of potential interest at current market conditions and it is still not guaranteed that this will always be the lowest price. TL;DR: Autorenew at FRR = fire and forget, if you want more than that, you need to manage manually (might be worth it). |

Well, Satoshi for one. Cryptocurrency developers are growing geometrically. Who knows who will be the next coding superstar? Privacy is an important subject to many of them.
Satoshi is gone for over 3 years now (he was one of the very few anonymous core devs) and developer numbers seem to grow horizontally (everyone is creating their own forks left and right), not so much vertically (developing "deeper" into the system) unfortunately. This is a bit off-topic though... |

How will Ripple Labs comply with government sanctions?
Similar to "sanctioning" the Bitcoin foundation there is not a lot to "sanction" at Ripple Labs to begin with... the network can and will go on, no matter what RL does. I guess they would just follow whatever sanction hits them, though I don't see it having any effect on Ripple itself. So if Ripple Labs is shut down, the network will go on just fine and all transactions will be accounted for in the ledger? Yes, anyone can run rippled and be a validator. There might be some stirup because currently a lot of people by default have their validators in their config files and probably didn't change that, but that's all. It's like freenet going down back in the day when Bitcoin was bootstrapped via IRC - you'd have to add IPs manally to connect to the swarm again, then it works again. All mining pools in the US going down at once would probably cause a longer outage on Bitcoin than RL disappearing from Ripple. |
