Considering the number of offers for lending and the minuscule amount of requests to borrow, has anybody actually succeeded in getting his RECENT offer borrowed?
Yes, I've had a few 1200% loans out for a few hours over the past two days. All of my VIR funds seem to stay out right now. I've adopted the policy of waiting 36 hours before changing the terms of my offer to see if it be taken. Usually this will allow two US morning sessions to run their course and usually during US timezones morning sessions the VIR money runs out and then other offers have a fighting chance.
It is my belief that those that are borrowing my funds that at offered over VIR are trading the intraday volatility and that those on VIR are those with many small (low btc quantity) positions and are waiting with a pending stop loss order around $100 and a limit order around $140 to $150.
Therefore over the past week, the only time my "new" money / interest is used seems to be in direct proportion to intraday volatility. On "calm" days, like today, it sits and sits and I impatiently wait for my notify email to come in. And then around 5 pm Pacific, I start checking my history tab to see how much is credited today.
You know if I may request a feature, I would also enjoy an email of the amount interest credited that day.
