[OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading

[JanpriX]

What happened wit Bitfinex? Yesterday I requested BTC withdrawal. After 10 mins got status "approved". But after 24h still money in "Pending".
Submited support ticket and got strange replay kind of "technical maintenance in progress, you get your btc soon".  I didn't found any public information about btc maintenance.

Um, I believe no one from Bitfinex will answer you here. They are not posting any replies here in the past few months. Based on the reply that they provided to you, it must be true that they are really having technical problems on their side. Your best move is to contact them again and ask how long will this problem persist.

I'm quite surprised that some people are still using Bitfinex after the problems that they provided to their users in the last few months and years.

Maybe at least someone also have same problem? Because if to be honest, I don't believe in "technical maintenance" for long time without any official announcement.
Moreover, I have email that my withdrawal approved and bla bla bla it take up to 12 hours. Now I have checked my account and they change approval time) But even with new approval time I wait more 12 hours. It's looking absolutely unlike "maintenance"

But hey, at least they launched a referral program again apparently...

I suspect the controversy the NYAG is attracting, plus the overall lack of volatility is hurting their ability to attract new customers.

Bitfinex will be introducing LN payments and withdrawals tomorrow.

They'll also be offering their node for others to connect to. It'll be very interesting to see if this moves things forward in a significant manner.

The first major exchange to implement Lightning -- what a marketing opportunity. Bitfinex has a real way of appealing to Bitcoin maximalists.

I've always thought exchanges acting as hubs could be a big boon for LN adoption, since so many people are constantly transacting with them. I'm interested to see where this goes.

Apologies for the dumb question, but is Bitfinex Derivatives the same as Bitmex's market offerings? Also, is this a paid article or is this an independent review of Bitfinex and their derivatives without any monetary ties from them?

Bitfinex derivates uses the same trading engine as the "spot" markets on the bitfinex platform, and you can use the same account to access the derivates platform. You can have much higher leverage (100x) via the derivates platform, verses 3.3x on the spot platform, and I believe you can be forced to socialize trading losses if someone has losses in excess of their account equity in amounts greater than the 'insurance fund'.

Hi all I'd like to tell what I think is a bad behavior of Bitfinex or at least a misfunction.
Well you know all the exchanges more or less have some token wallet locked.
I always check if a wallet is locked before depositing a token or coin. In my case, I wanted to deposit the "INT" token. I checked on the wallet page, and all was OK. I also could copy my deposit address, or even I was able to create a new one, but I am not 100% sure of this (i never deposited that token, this for sure).
Well the wallet was locked instead. Looks like I came on that wallet in the past (months ago) and for some reason I closed the small notification "wallet closed" on top. Support told me if you close that notify, you'll never see it again. Also after months. So, you will not be capable of knowing the status of that wallet again. Even not with an API. There is no API for wallet status!
Because of all this, I unfortunately deposited some INT token. Then I was informed that the wallet has been locked for months, and in these situations we all know it is likely never unlocked, until coin is delisted. Well, ok let's ask the support to send me back my tokens. No, it's not possibe, bwecause "the wallet is locked" . But this is a very stupid reason. If they wanted to, they could manually withdraw my coins with a manual tx. Useless to say, I've already lost a big amount of value. I consider those coins lost, but this is only another example of exchanges (not only this) behaviour.
again: I HAD NO WAY TO KNOW THE WALLET STATUS. Tehey should at least change that notification sticky deletion.

When i will be able to buy new tether with bank card?

as of last month, if you have a verified account, it's already possible. https://support.bitfinex.com/hc/en-us/articles/900000051486-Purchasing-Cryptocurrencies-through-Payment-Cards

Full and intermediate Verified users will be able to choose between OWNR (for USD Tether - USDt) and Mercuryo (for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Tether (USDt), Algorand (ALG), Tron (TRX) and Basic Attention Token (BAT) gateways.

if you are unverified on bitfinex, you are subject to these limitations:

Unverified users will only have access to Mercuryo which will run its own verification process before allowing to purchase BTC, ETH, ALG, TRX, and BAT.
