This is a nice platform actually. Seems to be the only real BTC Options with Vanilla options.

Really wish it would have more volume however since there are huge spreads with most of the options.

I wish you luck. Maybe launch some signature campaign or some Reddit campaign to make the site more popular. I am sure many from Bitmex would join. It would help with the liquidity.

I agree with you, they have such a clean and simple interface. I really like the front office interface but they need more advertisement, maybe open another signature campaign or a referral option.

I have not found any complain about their service but I think you need to set a help page to exploit all the potential of the platform.

good luck!

I tried to sign up a couple days ago but never received the activation email (yes, I checked my spam folder as well). Requested it again today and still nothing. Is there a bug in the signup process?

Not sure if it is a scam or not, but adding futures and derivatives into crypto coins is a great thing overall, it marks a step into mainstream finance world.
Hope to see more news like this one soon.

Blockchain Startup, Deribit Bridges Gap between Crypto-USD Loans

Cryptocurrency traders who are in need of a loan, but don't want to sell their cryptocurrency holdings are set to benefit from Deribit blockchain powered loan solutions. The Amsterdam based Derivatives company, who started its first forays into cryptocurrency by offering Bitcoin Futures and Options trading services, will now enable borrowers to post crypto assets as loan collaterals without the fear of a margin call.
Deribit platform reduces borrowers and lenders risk through its innovative derivatives concept, eliminating the problems of margin calls. Derivatives works as a contract that owns its value to the performance of an underlying asset. Deribit’s solution leverages the Put-Options of derivatives to facilitate risk-free, crypto-backed loans for both lenders and borrowers. Put-Option acts like an insurance policy for the collateral.

In my opinion deribit is an attractive and good market, I hope the marketing team can do an aggressive marketing strategy so that the users increase significantly.

[internetional]

I'm not sure it's necessary. Deribit has already begun to decrease the API requests rate (some days ago it fell from 25 per second to 2 per second for newcomers). It means that the quantity of users is already extremely high for Deribit servers.
