I'm getting the following error when I try to access the API:
Request unsuccessful. Incapsula incident ID: 163000790008533724-465516378349307129
What is the cause of this error?
Hi, I'm not in any position to know about Bitfinex operations, however Incapsula is a DDOS prevention service. Given the error, it seems likely they're experiencing heavy traffic, possibly a DDOS on the API, or perhaps Incapsula is just bugging out.

I experienced the same. But i discovered than during last 2 days my bot sended "ticker" requests every 1 second (or even 2 times per second) Fixed now. May be they just changed parameters of anti-DDOS system for "programmers with not straight hands"? Now i can send one request, but after that any others cause "incapsula incident". When i waiting about 15 minutes - one request is allowed again. On BTC-e, when API-cloud ban you for overloading, you have just to wait about 1 hour. May be here is the same? Who know, how long "auto-ban" stays? Wrote to support about 5 hours ago - no answer yet.

Same problem here with "Incapsula incident"
I though Bitfinex was one of the best exchanges, now they're throwing garbage errors at my robot...
I can understand if they're getting DDOsed, but a bot pinging for tickers once a second shouldn't be a problem. Sent a contact query, lets see how long they take to reply

They should just whitelist IP's which actually trade.

Hello guys, api.bitfinex.com and www.bitfinex.com both suffered a DDOS attack this morning, which is why Incapsula challenged all visitors and blocked legitimate bots along with attackers. Really sorry about this side effect. We will see in the future how to allow "good bots" if possible. Thank you for your understanding Raphael Bitfinex team

By the way, what rate should I use to poll api.bitfinex.com with no risk of being a "bad bot"? Is 1RPS acceptable?

Something is up with the swap returns for USD. The offers all just got cleared. I think there is a problem. Anyone else see that?
I have an offer up that I am trying to cancel right now, but nothing seems to happen when I hit the cancel button.
Update: Ok, looks like the order book was just cleared for a moment. Orders seems to be coming back in now, and I successfully cancelled my USD swap offer. That was really weird.

I saw exactly the same thing - swap offers emptied out, my own offers not appearing in the list, but nothing happening when I clicked cancel. Also received emails during the time it was acting weird saying swaps had closed, which wasn't reflected in the interface. So yeah, interface got stuck for a while.

BFX has decided to go full retard. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) FRR spiked down to 0.1554% now, I have lent out some positions with 0.0 USD apparently, notifications spamming over the screen... I guess I'll just wait and see in an hour or so.

BFX, there is serious fuckery with the lending going on. Offers not being shown, half the order book disappearing, messages of offers executed which are actually not executed at all. etc. etc. Do something! Take it offline of an hour if necessary!

Still doing my due diligence but I have about 10K sitting in my bank doing nothing and was thinking of signing up for BitFinex and provide liquidity to get some returns.
What are the risks and what are your guys thoughts?

It is very profitable but do it with money you can afford to lose.

It is very profitable but do it with money you can afford to lose. It is certainly very profitable in comparison to a savings account. It is not very profitable if you take your advise at heart and consider a real risk of losing it all. Think about the profit you would have made buying bitcoin at 450 on May 20th (possibly on 2.5:1 margin) and selling at 650 on June 8th. This would have been infinitely more profitable than having your funds lend out for whole 2014 and also bears the risk of losing it all. @wotter11: Whether you'll be making bank or not will significantly depend on the market. If we see a bubble this year you can be sure you will have very good days with very high returns (though infinitely less profitable than just buying bitcoin). If we enter another bear market just look at the interest rate of the last couple of months. We had the rate dropping down to 0.05 % on some days.
