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

[Speckle21]

I have a deposit of BTC I sent from Bistamp to Bitfinex that is not showing up. This is the first time I have sent a deposit since you changed your deposit format on the site. I copied and pasted the deposit wallet address from my "trading" account. Afterwards the address changed. Which I thought was weird.

At any rate, the deposit is confirmed on the blockchain, but is not showing up in my account. I have sent an email to support, but I am not crazy about having to wait 24 hours to get my 171 BTC back.

Please advise.

I'd hate to break this to you but if the address changes after you cut and paste (so the pasted address is not the same one you copied) then the problem isn't with BFX.... your computer is compromised. There are viruses/trojans/malware that alter bitcoin addresses so every time you cut and paste an address it replaces it with the hacker's address.

you've unwittingly sent your coins to a hacker.

sorry, but there is nothing that can be done from the BFX side on this.

It will depend mainly on the bitcoin price in USD. As long as it doesn't increase significantly, I'd expect small difficulty jumps, like the last months.

I have bought some TH1 to lend them, so I can find out how it works in practice.

I believe there is no reason for ASIC owners to turn their miners off. At least when BTC price is higher than spended electricity. And "higher" doesn't mean "more than $500", it's more like "more than $50".

So I will not going long with price higher than 0.9 BTC.

And don't forget to monitor this: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

Unless mining costs decrease or bitcoin price increases, I wouldn't expect difficulty to keep increasing. It can happen for a while, if they are new miners or miners expand their business. But after that, profits/costs will have to go up to make difficulty also increase.

I bought a bit of HT1 to see how it works. But I wouldn't now, 1.234 is too much even when taking into account the interest of lending it.

Where can we find our TH1 dividend history?

Just to inform everybody who's wondering about it: bfx has reacted fast and sensibly and closed the questionable 29 day swap!

Thanks, but I mean where can I see what I have earned in dividends, not how much has been earned in total by all users.

[Sukrim]

Divide the dividend by the number of contracts and then multiply by the amount of your contracts.

Also I find it amazing that they even don't pay "virtual PPS" (so the theoretical amount of BTC that would be generated by 1 TH/s) but include pool luck and operator risk to the equation. After 3 months it is not very likely to have 97% of the theoretical income generated...

Another thing where the pool or bitfinex can skim off money is the apparently constantly changing(!?) total hash rate of the pool that seems to be multiplied by 1/200th to find out the ratio of the payout that belongs to Bitfinex.

Also where are the promised transaction IDs?
In their poorly spelled description they state: "Statistics regarding this pool will be posted regularly along with blockchain transaction id’s will be posted and frequently updated."

Can't I find that in my history, like any other transaction, including interest received?

Its under Account settings, History, then click on BTC and you will see time stamped dividends for mining. I haven't seen an interest payment for swaps yet so not sure where that is, but I assume somewhere under that history section.

Here is a link.

Oh, I went back to some older swaps for btc, those payments are also in that section.

You are right, thank you. I was looking at TH1 inside history, where I only see interest payments.

What is that about?

There definitely was a bug in the swaps duration. Whether it has been fixed I don't know. I think you are referring to the reduction of the swap duration when offers are partially closed or something along that line.
My Problem has not been fixed so far. I'm in contact with the support and Giancarlo says they are investigating it but the longterm swap is still there.
No idea what's the situation for the other guy Indamuck who has his bitcoins locked away in a 30 day swap.

I've also noticed yet another bug again that is commonly mentioned here. There is yet another 1 day swap in my offer list again which was supposedly taken out like 6 hours ago along with other swaps. These other swaps of this timeframe are at 2 days while this one is at 19 hours, no idea how that happens all the time but I sure wish I could reproduce it.

I just withdrew about 44 coins from my exchange account.  I don't have SMS or google authenticator set up, so I am waiting for the email to verify the withdrawal.   How long does it take, or is 44 big enough to require manual processing, and how long does that take? What's the procedure?
Would appreciate some help,
If somebody from Bitfinex reading this can check on my withdrawal and explain what's happening with it, I would be most grateful.  I will pm my username to you. And the address I withdrew the coins to, if you need it.

Why would you not take the 5 minutes to setup google authenticator on that sum of money.  You realize if something were to happen there is no recourse?

[birr]

I'm not sure what you mean.  Google authenticator sure isn't going to help a delayed withdrawal; or prevent such a thing from happening.
I think bfx personnel monitor this thread, so I'm hoping for a response.

I think he means why not have a tertiary authentication so any yahoo who gets your password and email does not walk off with your money.

[birr]

Please, I'm trying to get an answer here.

With that many coins and with the volume of activity today, I'm guessing its got to be manually reviewed.  I've moved that many coins and more through Bitfinex many times in the past with no issues, so I wouldn't worry too much.  Even if its in manual review, that usually only takes a few hours, though it may be a bit slower on a crazy market day like today.

Can you update on your situation? Was it really a virus or was BFX able to resolve the problem? I really hope for you the coins are not gone.

So I have a question about how swaps work.  I have bitcoin in my account, and want to earn some interest.  So I offer a swap at 7 days length, xx interest rate, and 1 btc contract.  Someone accepts the swap and then I start earning interest.

I get that part, but that person can then decide to cancel at any time?  And if I have autorenew on, my offer just gets put behind the other 2300 btc of offers that are currently at the flash return rate?  Also, what is the "offer count" number that is on the right column?  Does that mean there are 350 offers of 2300 bitcoins?  Does anyone have experience how long my offer would sit there until it gets taken?
