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

If you have a decent BTC supply, is offering Swaps at 0.012 ish worthwhile?

That's up to you to decide. Annually that's about 4.4% (before the 15% BFX fee, so in reality about 3.7%; depending on your jurisdiction you might or might not have to pay capital gains tax on that amount, likely not on BTC though) if you manage to always find someone immediately who wants to borrow your "decent supply" for that rate.

You might be able (depending on your "decent supply") to compound the interest, since it is paid daily, on the other hand sometimes it might idle on the order books.

If this is worth your risk and handing over your BTC to Bitfinex is gain up to you to decide.

Thanks this is very helpful.  Do you feel placing BTC into Bitfinex for swaps involves high risk, other than the company going out Gox style.

Thanks again!

Firefox suddenly tells me bitfinex.com is now longer a safe address since the certificate is invalid. Am I alone with this?

I'm getting a security error when trying to go to bitfinex.com,  I go there every day all day fro this nexus7 tablet, and this morning I get a security error about the sites certificate. Any news? Or just me?

Tried Firefox/chrome/dolphin. Same issue security certificate. Possible compromised site

Ok, so I'm not alone. IE 11 recognizes still recoginzes the site as valid.

I get the certificate with B5:47:1D:B6:27:DF:47:51:10:F3:5E:68:29:4D:11:F2:5B:9A:7F:E2:6C:BD:88:15:0C:D6:94:89:BE:3B:D8:F2 (SHA256) which was issued on the 16.10.2014. Maybe you still have an old one cached?

Restarted Computer, cleared browser history/cache and tested on a second device. Still invalid. Error Code is "sec_error_unknown_issuer". Filthy seems to confirm this.

[noggin-scratcher]

I'm also seeing an error in Firefox :

bitfinex.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

Well, post the certificate here then...

[DoubleSwapper]

With the recent Poodle exploit targeting SSL3 this is not exactly inspiring confidence. Bitfinex has a lot of bugs and peculiarities recently again. Björn confirmed the datastream to bfxdata is also bugging out at the moment.

Hm, that's the same I got... Maybe update your root certificates on your browser (usually just update your browser)?

That's not it. Still same issue after reinstalling browsers.  I get security warnings point at bitfinex security certificate, and red padlocks on all browsers I.e. http:

[lastfeal]

I need to withdraw. I have not get the confirming link on the e-mail. How can it be?

[Filthy]

Looks like the security certificate issue can only be found using my Nexus7 tablet and both Android phones, mine and a friends. The issue doesn't show up on the PC. And for some reason Firefox browser worked normally again just before a reinstall.

So at this point I'm going to use the site ( bitfinex.com) with Firefox, and wait till these security issues work themselves out between platforms and devices.

[Sukrim]

update != reinstall by the way...

is there a 100 $ minimum regarding swaps?
Or is it possible to lend 50 $ (I just want to try something out regarding swaps) as a swap offer?

The error message you get is quite descriptive usually.

You can try to put an 50 USD offer via autolend (if that's your whole balance, there's no difference anyways).

Are those certificate problems still existent? I don't dare to log in now after reading that.

And in general, it'd be nice if the lock was green instead of gray.

Seems to be resolved now, and the grey padlock isn't too unusual... plenty of sane/secure sites that don't supply their own identity along that channel.
