Hello everyone,
Yesterday I didn't received the swap interest payment, did anyone else noticed this? or it was only me?

Same here (BTC-Swap Payment).

There indeed seems to be a problem with the swap payment system. While I received my swaps at the regular time some of them looked a little too low in value. I'm not sure though as the past days have been quite turbulent with the spike to 0.3 and 0.18. A user on reddit has opened up a similar thread concerning this topic:

While I was sceptical at first I ultimately think he's not bullshitting although I don't believe BFX is intentionally scamming.

Like 20 minutes ago there was a second, very low swap credited on my account so it seems there actually is a problem. Please investigate at least the last 10 days, BFX and be open about it.

jFYI: Received my BTC-Swap Payment 30 minutes ago. As far as I can say the amount matches with what I should have received for the last two days. Guess the payment script is rolling again.

hi everyone, I got a question for those who will want to reply, in you're oppinion how secure is bitfinex?

I am looking for a new exchange since i dont like some stepps the current one i'm using is undergoing...

[SebastianJu]

Ok, withdraws work again. Im not sure what to think about that. Payments arent processed for so long. Ok, weekend, but still. There should be alot of staff around.

I once had a swap payment in two batches. A small one and later the rest. I dont know what triggered that.

We're aware that some users are having issues and are working towards fixing it. I'll post an update in this thread when it's fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I just checked my accounts.  1 account recieved payment, but the number seems way to low (25% lower than I would expect), and the other accounts did not get a swap payment at all.  Good to know they are aware of the problem, hopefully they will reveiw the last several days to make sure all payments have been made accurately.  Looking at all of my own tracking, it appears at first glance that the 26th - 28th had weird results for me.

Is anyone having problems with bitcoin swaps at all?  I have had bitcoin offered to be swapped for over a week now and it hasn't been taken.  Is anyone else having delays like this?

Im not sure if youre new to bitfinex maybe, so did you check that your offer is anywhere near the chance to be taken yet? Not that you are a couple hundred btc back in the swaplist.

I have used it for awhile and have never had to wait this long.  Usually when I would throw a FRR swap offer up for bitcoin it would be taken in a couple of hours max at 30 days, now it has been over a week.  Was just curious if anyone else is seeing waiting times like this?

The issue with swap payments not going out everyday should have already been fixed. If you are still encountering issues, please let me know.

The issue with underpaid swaps will take a little bit more time to look in to, but we should have an update for everyone within 48 hours. Sorry for the delay.

I understand the security issues after the recent breach and all, but your bitcoin withdrawal system is totally unreliable and unusable for me at the moment: random 1-6 hours delays really aren't acceptable, I'll have to switch to other exchanges and that's a shame cause I liked you ui and other instruments.

The hack doesn't have an effect on this besides the fact that we're now using a multi-sig hot wallet. Furthermore most users are withdrawing without issue. Can you please send me a pm with your username so that I can look into it. Also please make sure that you are promptly confirming your withdrawals from the email that we send you (these may be getting sent to your spam folder, so please check there as well).

So how can I verify the reserves backing my account balance anyways with your new multisig backend (which address should I check)? Or did I misunderstand something?

You can verify your reserves on BitGo, you can see what it looks like here: https://twitter.com/masonic_tweets/status/610933556928495616

Bitfinex Update:

Some of you might have noticed that you're starting to receive emails from Bitfinex upon logging in. This is just another security setting that we have enabled. It shows you the IP and includes a link to freeze your account if you think that it is a suspicious login.

If you want to turn these notifications off, go to your Security Settings[1] page and click the "Disable login notification" checkbox.

We will be adding some more security settings soon and I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

What an idiot ^^^

Im not sure but didnt they stresstest guys want to run another test to show how very much we need the higher blocksize next week?  Maybe you were caught in such a test?

It's not likely to be an account related issue, it's a problem with the way you handle your hot wallet, there is even a disclaimer in withdraw mails (" [...] can take up to 12 hours if hot wallet is empty").
When the hot wallet has the liquidity withdraws go through with no issues in a matter of minutes. But when it's empty delays start: it's been like this for quite some time even before the hack, but before it was pretty rare and delays weren't this long (1 hr, max 2 hr on one occasion only).
Now it's happening nearly every day and delays are much longer on average (more than 6 hrs one time).
Happened to some friends too so I really don't think it's account related. I'm sending you my user in pm anyway.

Bitfinex... you guys should really take care. Withdrawal problems, problems with swap payments an so on. Bitcoiners are VERY cautious nowadays regarding problems. Don't let them think you got hacked or so.

Bitfinex down?
