Re: Prometheus and his group are pumping Keycoin. (Exchange corruption, evidence!)
Epilogue:
MoosaNYC was said to have lost all of his money doe to Mr. Cryptocoolio mentioned above.
Coolio married, bought a Mercedes, but stayed the same indian scammer he tended to be.
In the end, the events above led to the site eventually banning coolio from being a mod.
Coolio pumping FTC after the series of doublespend attacks which he had seen is legendary, one user even complaining that on that advice, a year later, his coin is worth nothing or something like that. "Good" times.

Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
One guy found BTC with a value of about 300'000 USD on his Bitfinex-account which he never opened
...How was he able to log in into an account which he never opened, please elaborate?Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
No, about a hundred times, because they totally ignore all teh worst bugs on their site for a year or so they know about them. Plus, their system is only able to match about 30-50 orders per second. Did you hear me? They are able to match 30 orders per second, ano more than that and they are fully flooded.
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
So Bitfinex just scammed me 3000 usd and their Support does not Answer At all i thought they are legit 
Well, Remember, I had executed a buy order when I ordered a sell... (or vice versa), so yes, their site is designed to take the wool out of the sheep.Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
There is an interesting bug which gave me an initial margin of about 7:1, which was very interesting, it came with the delayed order filling, where order was accepted and filled but did not appear in the status for many minutes and when it did, I was short way more litecoins than I could afford even on the maintenance margin (or maybe just that amount?!)
that was interesting...
that was interesting...
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
so, again and again the number I have written in limit buy order gets replaced BY SOMETHING ELSE to my disadvantage!
What else: the "my position" shows very rude errors and nonsense most of the time. Wrongly calculated position value (by 6000% error), and liquidation price HIGHER than the base value of the position?!?!?!
Not to mention yesterday when I got NEGATIVE base value of a position...

Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
it takes two minutes to cancel your orders, because "market sell" always fills in as sone sort of a limit order, then when you actually place a limit order it goes unfilled forever, then you cancel it and that is okay.
BUT THEN, suddenly a minute later you find your position filled by that said sell order which was "successfully cancelled"
go duck yourselves, amateurs.
May I remind you that I left some 3-6k USD in fees to your site?

Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
I think everything is fixed by now. For me everything works like charm.
I think the biggest danger that Bitfinex faces is the reaction of the paranoid bitcoin community if there is a small bug or something.
The small bugs are still in place and rob people of money. Also, the owners admitted running an information sharing with a private group of people...I think the biggest danger that Bitfinex faces is the reaction of the paranoid bitcoin community if there is a small bug or something.
changing and editing your orders by someone else has been a feature of bitfinex since the beginning.
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading

I click on "buy" at 0.03147 and the order is put in.
I click again and a market order a ta way higher price gets executed.
It will be sayonara bitfinex very soon.
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
Is this and other swap behavior subtlety documented somewhere?
I asked about their order filling policy and got none, I HAD PERSONALLY TO DEVISE that STOP orders get filled first, then your market order gets filled last. (cutting in the queue) I received no link or answer on the order matching, only a vague response of "an upgrade".Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
if you could provide the relevant order history, we can figure out why you have a positive balance when you said you have sold the pair. I don't think there are these type of errors in the platform as you have claimed
Why should it be or any surprise when other people complain about magically disappearing orders and other things... I heard quite a lot of various complaints, so this one is a drop in the ocean that forces me to be deeply distrustful of that site. Also, the story is much the same os the one of the Gox. "We are upgrading."Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
Is it better to do Margin trading in fiat or btc? You can do both right?
If you hold 1 BTC, you can sell that one and another one, so you gain the difference of 1 BTC movement on the way down.If you hold 1 BTC worth of USD, you can sell 3 BTC, so you gain 3x BTC movement on the way down.
Do not ask me why it is done this way on bitfinex. But you see how holding BTC in bear markets is a bad idea.
I thought they changed that a while ago, so that if you go short against a deposit of BTC or long against a deposit of USD you "borrow" (without any fees) from your own funds before you take any swap. I remember an announcement saying that they'd realised that the way it was set up you effectively got more leverage by holding your deposit in the same currency as you were borrowing, and that the change had evened it out so that it didn't matter which one you started out holding.
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
.......
Is this error related to the one where you click sell, while "Market" is selected and your order gets placed as LIMIT instead?
.........
How often does this error happen? How do you place a market order, is the only way to click sell, while "Market" is selected?
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
I have a strange error.
I sold on margin some 10 LTC on LTCBTC pair.
Then I sold 10 more.
But I am holding a long position on 20 on LTCBTC pair.
WTF?!?!
Did the buttons malfunction or something?
Is this error related to the one where you click sell, while "Market" is selected and your order gets placed as LIMIT instead?
Actually, I checked the history and it says "LTCBTC -10.0 0.007852"
Is that a sell order? then why am I holding a long position?
I checked the last 12 days of offer history and yep... only negative numbers in LTCBTC, yet, I hold a positive position.
You little rascals!

The math says that you must have had 40 LTC to start with. But I wouldn't doubt that the problem is with the display and that you started at zero and now have a short position. They recently fixed a problem I mentioned with "available balance", so there might be some residual display errors. Hopefully they aren't math errors!
So there... it explains a LOT about all the complaints people have been having about them.

Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
hey guys 
I have active margin position long from 220$ .It's possible to put stop /222 $ for example/ on this position ?
Just what he said, but remember, your stop order will be executed AS MARKET ORDER, so you might end up selling your STOP at far less than you imagine. This is due to two reasons, one is that the orderbook is thin and the distance between buy and sell walls may be large. The second reason is that your stop order may be not the only thing executing and other stop orders and market orders amy take priority, but we will never know for sure as mjr refuses to discuss or reveal what is the order priority processing. I had to find out by expensive trial and error. The third reason is that the size of your order may cause undesired slippage on thin orderbook walls. I have active margin position long from 220$ .It's possible to put stop /222 $ for example/ on this position ? That's it. Wait, no, it is not. You have the buy/sell fees and/or lending fees and if you look at it: 0.4% on both way limit/stop orders, so, your method of making a stop order at 1% gain will almost certainly lead to a loss. Work with 4% movements at least, even 2% movements may not cover the common losses.
wow thanks
