FAQ:How to acquire USDbitfnx?Right now the only way to acquire USDbitfnx is to buy on the NXT asset exchange. If you want to buy a bigger amount, send me a PM and I will put up an order big enough for you.
Who am I?I am a hero member of the NXT and bitcointalk community that is very active and has been registered for over four years. Due to regulatory risks, I try to keep my identity as separate from this project as possible. Administrator and community member Damelon agreed to verify this and will confirm this in this thread soon. He also knows my real identity and if I go rouge he will release my identity.
How will the USD be managed?The USD will be invested in the swap-market on bitfinex and this will happen actively, so I will likely outperform the average lender there.
How will the dividends be paid?Every 2-3 weeks the dividends will be paid. Every asset holder of USDbitfnx will receive his dividends paid in USDbitfnx. Example (ignoring fees): Lets assume there are two USDbitfnx holders with 400 and 600 assets. Now 25 USD in interest was earned in the last two weeks. This will now be distributed in the following way: 25/(400+600)* 400 = 10 USD 25/(400+600)*600 = 15 USD. Assuming that 1 NXT is worth 0.05 USD, then assetholder 1(400 USDbitfnx) gets 9.95 USDbitfnx as dividend and assetholder 2(600 USDbitfnx) gets 14.95 USDbitfnx.
How much fees do you charge?Withdraw with BTC: 0.1% exchange fee + 2% personal fee (min 5 USD)
Dividend Fee: 1 NXT + 5% of the dividend amount
These fees are possibly subject to change!How do you prove that you don't run a fractional reserve? Audit?I have already asked Damelon if he could make an audit once a month, and I am sure that I will find someone very trustworthy to do this once a month (or on request!).
What risks are involved when holding this asset?-Exchange risk: Holding USD will make you experience quite some volatility measured in BTC or NXT.
-Insolvency risk: Even though Bitfinex is a registered company and currently very profitable, a market shock, a hack or severe mismanagement (like mtgox) could happen.
-Theft risk: I will try my best to keep the funds safe and will use all security measures provided by bitfinex (2FA ect) to secure the account, still it is not possible to prevent every aspect of attacks.
-Trust risk: You will have to trust me to not run away with the funds. Given the fact that the administrator of this forum knows my identity, this scenario is pretty unlikely though.
