Option	Default	Description
api_key	-	Your API key generated at https://www.bitfinex.com/account/api
api_secret	-	Your API secret generated at https://www.bitfinex.com/account/api
currency	USD	Currency of the money to lend.
period	2	Number of days to lend money

minimum_balance	50	Minimum balance in order to start lending (bitfinex constant)
max_total_swaps	20000	Max number of total swaps to check for a closest rate *

* If there are e.g. total of 12000 swaps at 1%/day and 22000 swaps at 1.001%/day the script chooses the lower rate, because we don't want to go beyond the rate of 20000 swaps. * If the currency isn't lent within an hour you may want to lower this value
