In case of a leisurely bitfinex support:
1) Who remember at what moment bitfinex has sent Bitcoin Cash tokens to user accounts at August 1st?
What will happen if I close BTCUSD long on Bitfinex right after finding the forkblock number 494784 but early then Bitfinex add B2X tokens?
(looks like rhetorical question. Indeed I sent this question to support 3 weeks ago)
I mean how fast Bitfinex makes snapshot of blockchain after the fork? Can I close BTCUSD long at the next moment after forkblock? Any ideas?
I can't be exact as I wasn't watching at the precise time of the fork but as nobody else has answered you I'll try and help. I logged in a couple of hours after the fork and the new coin was already available. My understanding is that a snapshot of all balances is done at the exact time the fork block is mined and then it just takes a little while for the database to be updated with each new balance, so yes as I understand it you can close out any position immediately after block 494,784 is confirmed.
As I told someone else on the last page:
Bitfinex abandoned this forum and thread a long time ago. If you need confirmation that what I told you is correct I think you'll have more chance of getting a response on /r/bitcoin or /r/bitcoinmarkets.
Several people have told me that the best way to get a response from Bitfinex is to hassle them on Reddit.
2) Second case: Why are such low rates on USD lending? Approximately 1% of the costs can be obtained 20% (the cost of B2X token relative to BTC price) (very confusing moment)
This is related to the discussion I was having above with deisik about BTC lending rates going up. We have different views but I get the feeling that people are mostly going flat and waiting so they have funds ready to react if the fork does impact the price.
