Quite stable?
BTC/USD pretty regularly has 15-25% intraday moves, and has ranged from 650 to 1350 (>100%) over the past 5 months. It would be a trivial programming effort to allow the user to view his/her balance in the currency of his/her choice, would it not?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

How about you figure it out yourself? This is a BTC site, if you care about the fiat value of BTC then you should do the math. BTC sites generally don't have this implemented as the overwhelming majority of us only care about BTC wins/losses. BTC is the currency of choice. |

BTC sites generally don't have this implemented as the overwhelming majority of us only care about BTC wins/losses. BTC is the currency of choice. The overwhelming majority of sports bettors (Fairlay's target audience) don't follow the fluctuations of BTC any more than they have to. That's not changing any time soon. So assuming Fairlay is interested in expanding its user base beyond BTC enthusiasts, they should be doing everything they can to attract traditional sports bettors. 30 minutes of programming time to make users lives easier doesn't seem like a lot to ask. |

Any chance you could offer users the option to display all amounts in the currency of their choosing? Many of us do not follow the value of BTC day-to-day (or minute-to-minute in some cases), so it would be handy not to have to convert mentally every bet into your home currency before placing it.
I'm with erol34 on this one, it would be useful to show BTC and/or USD. Most of the other books are USD so betting against them requires an added calculation. Plus as erol34 said there's the fluctuations. There's more to sports betting then picking one side and win or lose. |

We will have surveys on Fairlay in a few months and we will add a question about BTC/USD conversion there. |

So what are the chances that you guys launch a market for "Will Bitfinex be the next MtGox"? I am pretty sure there are some right now that would speculate for that bet. Especially with all the fiat deposit and withdraw halts.

It would be really nice if you could create such a market. You will also gain 50% of all raised fees if you do so. |

Here we are  Feel free to bet: FAIRLAY - Will Bitfinex be the next MtGox @ 2017 really ? If I am right, all casinos guarantee freedom when we participate, which is a prerequisite for casinos to attract players. Because no one wants to be supervised while playing gambling. Not just the site you speak, you are totally free elsewhere. Also, for deposits and withdrawals, they are always based on rationality, so we do not need to bother about that. |

Website seems to be down, I wanted to place a bet on the presidential elections in France, but I couldn't reach the site. Do you know why this is the case and when we will be able to access the website again? Thx in advance for your answers |

Bump.
Can we get some kind of acknowledgment that there is a problem and it is being worked on? ETA?
Anything?

I wonder if it's anything related to the problem this site is having as well. But while I can access bitcointalk with a vpn, I've tried about 20 different ones but still can't get fairlay to load. |

Down again today. Yikes. They really need a new server. Hope their new design is faster and that they change servers. I'd ditch whatever server they are on and change to something reliable and fast!
Yes, this site, Bitcointalk.org was also very slow yesterday. Better today.
