Is Bitfinex in any way vulnerable to the vulnerability in bash that was just discovered?

Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2heu88/if_you_are_storing_bitcoins_on_a_linuxmac_system/
Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/24/us-cybersecurity-bash-idUSKCN0HJ2FQ20140924?irpc=932

It allows an attacker to take control of a vulnerable machine. More serious than the heartbleed bug and the attack is easier to execute.

^ is this something new to linux / mac machines only or other systems?

I expecting dump under 1 btc/th1 after adjustment

Adjust time: After 103 Blocks, About 15.0 hours
Estimated Next Difficulty:    34,754,721,333 (+16.51%)

I think Diff on end of the year will be raising hard.

For additional excitement, the supply of TH1 will increase by 25% after the next block is mined by the pool

All OSes that use the bash cli, including most linuxdistros, macOS and custom rom android, but not Windows for example.

Buy/sell API is not working.
Support is not unswering.

Very nice exchange market!

Hello, i have these questions.

1. What is the maintanance margin 15%. Does that mean that if i open a buy order for 1000$ with leverage 3.3:1  i have to have 150$ waiting in my account?
2. Can you explain the leverage 3.3:1. Does that mean for 1000$ i can borrow 3300$ or 2300$?
3. For example i have 100$. I borrow 330$ more (leverage) and buy 1 bitcoin at 430$. How much does the price have to go down for me to have my position force liquidated.
4. I see there are swaps for 3 days, some are 30 days. For example i borrow money for 3 days but doesn't sell after 3 days. Does my position is force liquidated to repay the lender?

Thank you

Thank you

1. No, it means once you only have 150$ left in your example, Bitfinex will already have warned you and your position will be liquidated (you'll get back ~140$-155$ and have a loss of about 850$)

2. You hold 1000$ as collateral and can borrow 3.3 times as much max., so 3300$. Since you need to pay swap (aka. interest) daily, maybe testing the limits might not always be the smartest move.

3. Firstly, you can only buy BTC for 330$. The price at which you would be liquidated is visible in the UI after you opened your position.

4. No, you'll automatically borrow new funds at the then cheapest prices. If you are afraid they could be higher than today, borrow for longer periods, if you want to speculate that interest rates will go down anyways, just borrow short term money.

Wow, must have missed that. They removed the line saying it is only 200 TH1, where have you got info from, can you provide the link?

[Timetwister]

I don't get why TH1 price keeps increasing, while its expected return from dividends decreases and interest rates are also lower.

I looked at shorting it but 0.23% a day?

[komar]

"Empty orderbook", huh?



I absolutely love th1btc pair. Thank you, Bitfinex!

[komar]

0.2% a day, 16% until December 15 (actually less because it's a "depleting asset"). But with current price you'll be in profit anyway.
