I must be misunderstanding you, but if you don't trust our website why would you want to lend it some moneys?
Trusting a user is one thing, trusting the software they coded is totally different, same is lending to Bitfinex Ltd or you in person too. And finally Bitfinex can't provide a fixed term loans, as there is no guarantee your funds will be lent.
Thats why the interestrate would be lower (like 7.5 to 10%) than your 15% / 30 days you state you offer (185.1648% apr) right now. 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.
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.

The reason the rates are so high right now is there isn't enough lenders to meet the demand of the margin traders. If you're a lender go in, scan the current offers. Then make your own offer. See what the market will bite on. These kind of returns on fiat won't last once more lenders enter the game.

The ratio of people joining who want to "borrow" money and those who can "lend" money is quite i my favor... (there are like max 20 people here at bitcointalk with $xxxx+ as capital who actually lend money) Just check out BTCJam. There are hundreds of open requests... So sorry when Im not really worried about missing an opportunity here ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

True, however as the rate of return on USD drops, more lenders pull out and convert into Bitcoin. This keeps the USD rate a little higher. I have been on Bitfinex for a while and the USD rate is always high, if it wasn't most people would just swap out into Bitcoin instead. (Also if traders are not using USD this normally means the outlook for Bitcoin is low, and then the traders drop your loans and then you have all this free cash to buy cheap bitcoins. Although this does not happen often because Bitcoin has gone up and up and up)

These kind of returns on fiat won't last once more lenders enter the game. As long as bitcoin is up, the demand is potentially unlimited. We never had that much lenders, yet the rates have never been higher. Of course if someone drop 500 000 dollars at once it could flood the market a while, but not for long. Now if/when bitcoins price stabilize, that will be another story. Anyway thank you for trusting us. I hope you're enjoying the profits ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Raphael

Can someone fix this? The interest for VIR has shot up to 386565% or more, someone is manipulating the VIR or its a bug.
I'm a lender, but this is not good because it will destroy confidence in bitfinex.

I've quit a lot of money on BFX, to deposit I had to exchange € to BTC on my mtgox account, exchange BTC to € on BFX ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) It costs me a few % due to the ask/sell gap and fees. Maybe you could add euro-exchange so we can exchange cheaper and on a better platform?

I understand that margin positions are closed automatically, but how does this work with GOX lag?
If the price drops GOX will lag bad, does this risk our loans more? Because the positions cannot actually be closed?

What about a "relending" feature. Lets say I lent someone $1000 for 2000% APR and then an hour later I see someone offering $1500 for 1000% APR. So a "relending" feature could become quite handy. In this example I would get my $1000 back and still get 1000% APR of the $1000...
