Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading

I'm thinking about withdrawing my USD. Interest rates, while still quite high in comparison to the expected return for an stock market investment, aren't high enough when considering the risk of losing the money somehow.

I also wonder why the interest rate volatility has been so low, we have been at nearly 0.04% daily for many days so far.

I think USD swap interest rates are on a lower edge. Not something spectacular, but still OK. Anything bellow 0.04% is a signal to back off, for sure.

As a fellow Brit I use Netagio, they are an exchange based in the UK, and their main business is converting GBP to BTC (or gold bars!).
Their order book is a bit empty and you will need to validate your address / bank account. But they do make getting BTC a lot easier if you have British bank account.

Interesting. I'd come across them before and been turned off by their FAQ. Specifically the mention of "To prevent fraudulent activity and to protect ourselves as well as our customers, we impose a withdrawal wait time on the money that you deposit in your account", paired with the detail page that lists a delay of 3+ weeks if you want to withdraw 100% of your balance.

Seemed kinda sketchy to be imposing long waits like that. How has your experience been with them?

Also...

Lenders like will not go under 0.04% for a given day,  under any circumstances.

First I thought I wasn't going to go under 0.05% under any circumstances. Then I thought I wasn't going to go under 0.04% under any circumstances. That's already turned out to not be true so I'm just hoping supply/demand doesn't push us down to 0.03% because it's become apparent that no-one's going to really draw a line in the sand (or if not 'no-one', then not enough people).

0.04% per day means 14.60% a year, and without fees 12.41%

Any normal decent business would give you a yield from 12% up to let's say 22% in a given year.

What Bitfinex (still) makes attractive is that except for throwing an eye onto balances let's say once awhile - there is no work associated with, especially if you have autorenew option turned on.

IF we're going under that - let's say 0.03% - that's 10.95% annual (yearly), or without fees 9.31%.

In this case, some other options come to play.... But Bitfinex is most certainly not the most attractive one.

Plus considering... Most banks and corporations are protected by law. Even if you lost something, there is a chance to (at least partially) recover something.

Bitfinex is... ...to the most extent... it's own Republic.

USD swap rate is getting "flat" and thin on lower % offers.
Are lenders beginning to move to their trading phase?

Just in case anybody in this thread have not heard about the latest news on Bitcoin adoption by PayPal, here is the Bloomberg article outlining this:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-08/ebay-s-paypal-unit-to-start-accepting-bitcoin-payments.html
It is almost hard to believe that from a rival and a strong opponent of Bitcoin, PayPal themselves became the adopt.
What it basically means in simpler terms is that merchants and their customers who are using PayPal  (152 million registered accounts !!!) will now be able to seamlessly transact via Bitcoin. Considering that Ebay/PayPal is the world's biggest marketplace, this is a huge positive news for Bitcoin innovation to which however market has not yet reacted.

It does looks like the price is now stabilizing at the current levels (we are no longer bouncing off those 1K+ BTC walls), so I really think we are on the verge of some very interesting times for Bitcoin.

I am glad that this happened. But you're probably aware that alternative Bitcoin processors emerged (BitPay), so I assume, the competition forced them into such actions.

we are now fully patched for the openssl heartbleed bug.
all previous remembered login cookies have been invalidated,
so you will need to relogin to access your old account.


http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#dicenow.com



I hope you're aware that heartbleed bug enables the attacker to reveal several (some - possibly all) user passwords.

ALL PASSWORDS SHOULD BE CHANGED.

It seems that the attacker somehow revealed passwords for at least two accounts. But you cannot be sure - if he revealed more than these two passwords.

But your site has the another flaw - so called sql-injection flaw.

P.S.: I happen to protect some https enabled servers and I patched the SSL LOGN TIME AGO. We had several sql-injection attacks, none successful, but even so...

You should find a professional help, security wise.

Hello! Today two accounts (my 13773 and my wife 14532) was hacked and all bitcoins was withdrawed to 1NHQEzpernPm4BKh1E3P1Sh4Bn4YA6bXy6
Passwords not changed, 2fa is on. How can this happens? Can you help me to understand what is going on?
Man in the middle attack.
Support tell me, that my accounts was accessed from unfamiliar IP, but how can it be with 2fa on I don't understand.
The only one my mistake, the passwords was same on both accounts. But accounts was on different PC's and with different providers. e-mails was different too.


In the case of a man-in-the-middle attack, the hacker steal your logged-session which is valid for an hour or more.
The only way to protect from this kind of attack is to enable an automatic-logout-on-IP-change but I almost never saw it.
Even if it exist, the hacker can spoof your IP so yeah you can't do much...

It is quite a high level hacking IMO unless you computer is full of trojans.


Don't spread bullshit. Accounts were accessed from some foreign IPs. Sessions are https - so encrypted. But even so, fund withdrawing should not be possible, without 2fa.

The site has, most probably some kind of sql-injection security flaw and the attacker managed to access the SQL database directly and made the redraw action without the user inteface.

The owner of the site should refund your coins - as the site is hacked.

It's not your fault at all.

dicenow welcomes any new players that need a place to safely dice.
almost 1 year of safe operation
exact same roll generation method as JD.
we don't skip nonces either Grin

dicenow, I don't know for others, but on my PC (quad core CPU, 8gigs of RAM) this thing runs slow - and eats a lot of CPU. And the reaction time is slow.

And I have a *FAST* internet (50 Mbit/s).

Something is wrong here...

Why is there nobody playing? Site works fine for me.

I have tried the site a few times. It looks a lot like when you buy a new laptop, before you format the hard drive and install an operating system on it. I guess it's a lot like Windows 8. It looks weird, bright colours, crashes a lot, runs slow, doesn't really work.

It would be good if there was an option to turn off all the weird graphic effects that don't work and just play dice.

+1
and I never heard of anyone who likes windows 8

Yeah. I tried to work with the site and - in practical terms, the site EATS HALF OF CPU POWER (AND I WAS DOING EXACTLY NOTHING) - so there is no problem with bright colors, but it seems the response time of the site and stability sux.

But it could be improved!

WTF? FRR for BTC is only 0.0155% daily. That's about 5% per year after fees.

Look at the bright side, its very cheap to short bitcoins! and we are in a down trend...

Considering that bitcoin inflation is still about 10% per year, you are indeed paying a negative real interest for them. It would be interesting if you could then withdraw the BTC that you short on Bitfinex.

Quite sure swap providers wouldn't find it too funny  Wink

Um, well. Now we are talking about Bitcoin inflation. One of the major arguments for Bitcoin was the absence of inflation. Now where this beast (the inflation) came to this movie without me noticing it?

I hate to hijack this thread, but...

It seems everything is working... I am lending out USD and so far, so good. Interest rates are a bit on a low side (rnd 0.04% daily rate - which is 14.60% on a year - minus 15% fees).

That's 12.41% interest rate. For USD. Do you guys find that acceptable - as it seems the level of liquidity is also very low.

I rent 10+ GPU boxes for X11/X13/X15/NIST5 algos. But over two days, many boxes were sitting idle, reporting there is no more work available at pool. After I reset sgminer v5, the box happily crunches X11 hashes again.

It seems some sort of DDOS protection blocks the connection.

So what's up?

SGminers version:
sgminer 4.2.2-283-g3ddff

REMARK: I assume I should be having v5 written somewhere. But there is no v5 written... Am I using the right version of sgminer?

sgminer v5 is still tagged as 4.2 - this will change when sgminer-dev team will officially releases v5 version. Try official sgminer builds, you can find them here: https://nicehash.com/software

I've done that. I cloned the git repo:

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/v5_0

I compiled it by myself. So I don't think it's the software. So - why my miners are sitting idle? Should I provide to you the btc address they're hashing for or my IP?

Or a screenshot or some kind of log?

Good for You HR. You admitted you were wrong using your main account so why start again?

I'll end this discussion. I did not admit anything and don't try to put words in my mouth.

Pools were not doing payouts. Period.

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://eup2pool.cryptopools.com:3333/static/

but if you're mining - they still accept shares - and pay nothing.

So. Go away with that crappy pool.

duh. the URL changed. its eu.myriadminers.com:3333/static. If you were mining yod be getting paid. This has been known for weeks

I am not coming NEARBY your crappy pools. Miners were mining and I got nothing. Don't spread lies - as in fact I wasn't getting payments at all. So I quit submitting shares for that crappy pool. Go away and don't spread lies.

So - miners beware. Those pools are not paying coins - at least p2pools don't.

you're talking crap :/ you get a payout if your mining properly submitting valid shares. everyone knows that. perhaps you should read the bitcoin wiki to see how it really works

I am not talking crap. The pool is just gone:

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://eup2pool.cryptopools.com:3333/static/

but if you're mining - they still accept shares - and pay nothing.

It is very sad to see a coin with such potential go by the way side. Many reasons are out of our control for various factors but one reason that is the most disturbing is ego.... Not placing blame on either side of this ongoing conversatsion as I don't know the details but from the past few days of reading there is obviously ego in play. As with many other coins ego has always been such an easily avoidable risk factor that seems to be one of the major killers.

It's more like money and reward issues. At this very moment, GRS is absolutely not profitable to mine and the turnover on exchanges is extremely low.

It seems I was right all the time.

You have a little mistake:
..."the thing" is totally profitable if you like miner put your order at 3000 sat. not for 300....
There have nothing wrong with block reward, market price is not correct if you want day trading.

I just mine. Gimme the right price. 3000 sat? Well, let me see that pump.
