Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
simple email to support would answer this
"The IP address belongs to Incapsula, which is our DDoS protection service.
As Incapsula acts as a proxy for Bitfinex, it means that we have to be relying on extra information from your connection to "guess" the IP address. If for some reasons the network you used or the browser you used did not forward any of that information, the Incapsula IP can appear in lieu of your real IP.
I fully understand your concern. You experienced the affects of a DDoS attempt, though very annoying, no real bug. "

camolist you got that answer from support? it is very confusing and lacks of technical detail, there is nothing to "guess" about a source IP address, every connection comes with a source IP address and nothing need to be forwarded...
This is the first time happening to me in about a year, and if ppl start seeing successfull logins history from FOREIGN IP addresses this is absolutely normal to start worrying and flooding email support with questions.
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
Yes, i have a similar behaviour. Im logged in but when i click a link i get a blank page. Reloading again i have to relogin. And when i did so then it start again after i clicked the first link inside.
This worries me. I hope its not that my account is safe because of 2FA but others arent. If enough other accounts were hacked successfully then my funds would be missing too. I really hope everything is fine.
Staff?
Edit: And yes i see IPs logged in that werent mine? GUYS?
Now i see that i logged in 18:29 with my correct ip and ten minutes later with a different one. Though im still logged in. I run MarginBot so i thought it might be that but its different IPs and my server has a fixed one that doesnt show up as far as i see.
I hope all is well but if something strange is going on i would suggest make sure funds are safe.

Ok you experienced exactly the same as me, by any chance the IP you see on logins history is "198.143.41.97" ? I already opened a ticket with them by emailing support, hope this is a bug on their system and this is not hackers... I will post some news if I figure out simething else...

Today I experienced some strange behaviour with Bitfinex web site, screen went blank everytime a page was requested, I logued out, and logued in again after about 30 mins, and all started working ok again.
Then I went to account security / logins history and found two successfull login from an IP that it was not me, IP was from another country.
I think nothing was stolen from my account because I have two factor authentication, but I'm worried about this.
Anyone experiences something similar?, ofc I already changed my account password, but I should have some device compromised or this is some bug at Bitfinex
the password was impossible to guess btw...

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...
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
There is no real risk that I'm aware of that would substantially change if you lend to several people instead of one. People who borrow from you can ONLY trade the USD, not withdraw them - this is not BTCJam!
Yes, the risk is that some big flash crash prevent the system to liquidate all margin calls and bitfinex ends with no other option to transfer the loss to lenders...
Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
Hi there,
I was thinking of how minimizing risk on usd swaps, lets say I have 1000 u$d, is it less risk to instead to make an offer of all the money at once, make 10 offers of 100 u$d ?
What I want is to instead to lend the 1000's to one person do it to 10 persons, 100 each, may be I can wait a fill between each 100's offers...
It wolud be nice some insight from bitfinex to explain if this is possible...

Re: [OFFICIAL]Bitfinex.com first Bitcoin P2P lending platform for leverage trading
They need to add more tools/features to let lenders take less risk if they want to...
For example, I want my lend to be taken only to a trader that:
- setup their account with 1.5:1 leverage
- used the money to short
- used the money to long
etc etc, there is a lot of things like this that they can implement, any one discussed this before? or got any insight from them about implementing such things?
Regards
