RE: WARNING! : Be Careful Sending Funds to Bitfinex.com
They need referrals as that helps in marketing to bring liquidity in the system. It's a chicken and egg problem that is why we need to support it so we can have a better decentralized exchange. Yeah its not yet there but its a very good start
Interesting bitsharestalk thread on the subject here:

Attracting liquidity is the hardest part, and that's after they've gotten many of the other aspects mostly right.
Just look at the effort ERIS Exchange has gone through promoting their futures contracts over the past few years:

Also notice how many platform partners they have, and how far they go to make people feel "safe" using it. And look at the fees:
50 cents per side, per $100K NOTIONAL! That same size trade on poloniex (with all its issues and risks) at .15% ADD LIQUIDITY (not remove liquidity, which is even higher) would cost $150!

Any wonder why the really big traders are still mostly sticking to the much less expensive regulated trading exchanges?
