Really like that, particularly the two 24 and 1h buy/sell indicators.

Personally I don't think a really long time scale is useful as there are so many variables in between. Its just a quick and nice way to gauge some degree of sentiment.

hey guys!

we have added Bitfinex on the Cryptonators's list of exchanges with rates and daily volume

Can anyone please give me an example of how the return for liquidity providers is being calculated?

Under "fees" it states:
current rate:

Say I have 1 BTC in my account, set at the "autorenew" tab period to 7, rate empty, check "flash return rate", where exactly are these 15% taken out then?
Since the FRR changes, just do a single day: 0.000056 gross return paid out at midnight GMT. Do I now seriously pay 15% on this?

@Sukrim
Thanks for clarifying this!

I'd guess the vast majority of btctalk members doesn't even have more than 10BTC. (I think there's even some kind of poll some time ago)
But that doesn't matter here anyway.

Thanks to http://www.bfxdata.com as well. It's pretty clear why the rates for BTC are so low.. USD rates are almost twice LIBOR but of course I am going to keep my BTC.

This market (BTC) is completely saturated.

Thats why I guessed. But there really has been some poll before.. cant be bothered to find it now.

I've got a hypothesis that the amount of USD swap will expand fast enough to keep the interest rate under 0.2%/day.  Sure there are some short-term spikes above that amount, but even in a very bullish market we'll settle at 0.2%/day (or less). Once the rate exceeds 0.2%/day - investors get very interested.

Currently 23.8 million swaps (all-time high) and the rate is 0.173%.  After the 15% fee, this is about a 15% return by 9/15/2014 - whereas icbit.se BTC/USD futures for that date are trading at a 9.4% premium (711 vs current price of 650).

BFX rate could be higher due to
1) more flexibility - you can end your swap long before three months is over
2) it's only higher in the short-term (it is likely to fall back to 0.1% or even 0.05%)
3) greater trust (icbit is smaller less well known)

A bunch of big orders cleaned up the bfx asks a few hours ago, but on stamp the price remained flat. The two exchanges should get back in sync soon.

Or perhaps this is the first sign of a goxing coming soon.

Does anyone know if you can deduct international wire fees from US taxes?  If I used the money to buy BTC/LTC/etc - then it looks like I'd add it to my cost basis.  But if the money went into swap loans - how do I deduct it?  It might be on Schedule A and only deductible if the total expenses exceed 2% of my AGI (this is a total guess based on very limited internet research).

FYI - my international wire that I sent last December cost $40 (from the US bank) and $18 (deducted from the amount that I sent by the receiving bank I think).
