Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
I believe there is some bugs in the Lending API of bitfinex. I was unable to make a new lending offer by POST method to https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/offer/new. Here are the situations.
1. The API documentation stated that insurance_option is optional. However, when this parameter is omitted, HTTP 500 error is returned.
2. I can get a response with insurance_option specified, but the response is always "Invalid offer: not enough balance". I have checked using the wallet balances API to make sure there is enough balance and also make sure that the amount is greater than the minimum lending amount (100USD).

Any updates on this? I have contacted support@bitfinex.com 2 times on this issue and so far no response for a few weeks.
In case you don't hear from support, I ran into the exact same problem. This is not documented at all but you have to specify the currency of your offer in upper case (example: USD, not usd). If you specify in lower case you'll get that useless error message "Invalid offer: not enough balance", because you don't have any usd balance only USD balance. Same for BTC.
I only discovered this fact through trial and error.
