huge news from vircurex:
1 Dec 2013 - Earn interet on BTC, LTC and PPC deposits NEW
We will be releasing today our function of earning interests on account balances for BTC, LTC and PPC. The interest paid is 15% of our collected trading fees for the coins. The payout is every 6 hours. See the help section for details.
This does seem good at first glance. Further reading of the help section makes me less excited, however:
Earn interests on Deposits
You can now earn interest on your deposits. Every 6 hours we will pay out 15% of the earned trade fees to account holders who hold at least 5 BTC, 500 LTC or 2000 PPC respectively. The amounts will be paid out proportionally to the total account balance. We take a snapshot every 6 hours and pay out based on the account balance at that point in time. We reserver the right change the schedule without prior announcement.
This feature is currently limited to BTC, LTC and PPC; for the next 3 months. Should sufficient interest be shown, we may extend it to other coins as well as extend the time frame.
These are quite large deposits (about $6000, $17500 and $14000). Incentivising users all of a sudden to deposit such large amounts of capital makes me a touch suspicious.
