So if the funds in my wallet are only to cover margins I take out, why wouldn't I just use the funds in the wallet to buy the bitcoins interest free if I wanted to take a long position?
if you got 100 USD in your wallet you can borrows up to 500 USD to buy btc |

if you got 100 USD in your wallet you can borrows up to 500 USD to buy btc So how is the loan the people give secured. Let's say I max it out and buy 10 coins at $50, the price drops to $48. The margin is called and there isn't enough?? Is it always a 5 to 1 ratio? Wouldn't it make more sense to let the person buy as many bitcoins as they want but as soon as they are down within 10% of their wallet you force sell the shares. Take from wallet to pay back lenders and they get difference. Example, I have $1000 in my wallet. I could buy 10,000 BTC but if price drops $0.10 I am down $1000 at my limit you force sell shares. Or that same person could buy 1,000 BTC and now be able to afford a market drop of $1.00 per BTC before margin gets called. |

You can lend/borrow at a fixed interest rate say 10% APR, 100% APR, 400% APR, etc. or you can lend/borrow at a Variable Interest Rate (VIR) that changes constantly to match the current market interest rate. If you borrow USD using the VIR option then the rate you pay for the borrowed funds constantly changes as demand for USD and the rate people are willing to pay to borrow USD changes. There is not a lot of demand for BTC at the moment since not many people are wanting to short BTC. What people need/want is USD so they can go long on BTC. |

So first, what happens when you get hacked...? Are you liable?
Second, who is in control of the wallet / bank account in case I give you USD / BTC?
Im not really interested in managing my loans on your website, nor do i trust your website so would you (if you are the person who is in control of the wallet / bank account) offer some form of "management" and personal liability for a loan?

There are very nice auto lending features. Just select the interest rate you wish to lend out at or you can even auto lend at a variable interest rate. I just check on things once per day to see how much interest I have made. Also, all withdrawal requests generate an email to verify you did in fact request the withdrawal which is a nice feature. Of course trust is always an issue when you give your funds to someone else. |

So first, what happens when you get hacked...? Are you liable? no hot wallet all transaction are manually processed once per day Doesnt answer the question... "When you get hacked" isnt really limited to your server... Second, who is in control of the wallet / bank account in case I give you USD / BTC? MTGOX ... and who has the mtgox login informations? Im not really interested in managing my loans on your website, nor do i trust your website so would you (if you are the person who is in control of the wallet / bank account) offer some form of "management" and personal liability for a loan?
i let OP to answer to this Let me rephrase that. Would you be interested in a direct loan, fix rate. Of course trust is always an issue when you give you funds to someone else.
And thats the problem here. I do not say that I do not trust them, but I do not really trust their software skills. Someone hacks in, change the withdraw address of some transactions and even your "manual" approvement nor that cold wallet feature will help here. Thats why I prefer a direct loan with 1 guy to chase down if things go nasty. When you get hacked you have the owners blame the coders, the coders blame the hoster and the hoster blames the coders, really messy. |

Hello Heisenhower,
I must be misunderstanding you, but if you don't trust our website why would you want to lend it some moneys?
Anyway, I'll do as if I didn't understand you and will try to answer your questions:
Bitfinex has recently been incorporated in Hong-Kong. We do not have a bank account yet, (hence why no real communication about our incorporation) and we do not offer legal liabilities for losses that may occur.
I, Raphael NICOLLE, and my wife, are the only one who controls the keys of the bitcoin wallet. These keys are not on the server (read-only wallet on the server). We also are the only one that can access our Mtgox account (with OTP). Similarly, there is no withdrawal enabled keys on the servers. Our partners don't have any control on the funds of Bitfinex.
We do plan (and will have to) have some liabilities for user funds, in the name of Bitfinex Ltd, not in my personal name. But at the moment, no, I won't offered personal liabilities on that. And finally Bitfinex can't provide a fixed term loans, as there is no guarantee your funds will be lent.
Hope that answer your questions.
Best regards,
Raphael

Although things can always changes, so far, after testing Bitfinex out for few weeks I give them the thumbs up. I've lent Bitcoins, and got 17.5% return. I've lent fiat and got average 105% return. I've margin traded (at ridiculous rates) too. The system is solid with limit, stop, running stop order options. Stops executed perfectly as they were set (while I slept in the middle of the night, and the blockchain forked.... DAMN IT!) And they are evolving it. They have been responsive to requests, and every email I've sent has been answered. The risk I see is of course hacking and/or the founders both die at the same time in a flaming plane crash or something  That happens and there's no way to get your coins with their security measures. But that's a good thing so long as nothing tragic happens. They are confirming every withdrawal manually. So far so good. Lenders, jump in. Test the waters. |
