Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Works fine for me. There have been DNS issues in the past, make sure your DNS is returning 50.56.4.62 for bitcoinica.com |

"Our general design principle is that we always pay less interest to our customers than what we receive from them as position swaps."
It would be nice if the amount of interest paid out to customers equaled that which you received in position swaps. Or at least came close to it.
That might lead to smaller interest rate gap between the buy and sell positions.

Has anyone successfully received any interest payments? I have had some BTC in there for about 2 days with nothing. Isn't is supposed to be live now or is the 16th the launch date?

Is 70% considered close? Most money market investment deals return 70% of interbank rate. The spread is large because we have no shortage of funds now. We have to collect from a small group of people and distribute to a large group of people, hence the buy-sell spread. |

You need to get at least 0.01 ฿ to be paid. The accumulation has already started. You'll be paid on the first day that you have accumulated 0.01 ฿. |

I have over 13 BTC "sitting" in my account but have done nothing with them. Do I need to have earned 0.01 BTC from a position before interest payments start being made or can I just leave the balance untouched? Thanks for helping me out.

You can just leave them untouched. When these 13 BTC starts to generate 0.01 BTC interest for you, you will receive your first interest payment. Thanks! |

Thanks for your great service zhoutong. It's a pity you decided not to start your own exchange in the near future. Could you tell us your considerations?
One question: I like the green bar, I do not, however understand why the zhoutong price still isn't visible and clear to all users. It's insane you have to calculate it yourself.

You get the buying interest rate, so it can be lower. The rate is dynamic, but 3% to 6% APY should be the norm. Yes, you don't have to do anything, and you can withdraw any time. Interest is calculated hourly and paid daily. |

So you should get a payment as soon as your 0.0048 BTC/day (at the moment, interest rates will vary) accumulates to the 0.01 payout minimum. |

Thanks, didn't know about the 0.01 minimum. With a 0.48 daily pip that should happen at the third day with BTC100. |

zhoutong> Can you dumb this down for me? I'm a complete n00b when it comes to markets, etc. Can I treat this like a regular bank account, in that I can deposit my bitcoins. Let them sit/accumulate interest, and then withdraw some or all at any time? Is there a fee to withdraw or to use your service? Or do you make your money by "using" our bitcoins (like a bank uses our money), and then give us the interest as a way of paying us to use our money? Do I understand this correctly? Because I'm interested if this is all correct.  |
