The scammers and dishonest people are a minority within our community, that are decreasing day by day. When a borrower activates his/her loan, they are under a legally binding contract called arbitration, and the personal information of the borrower will be handed to the investors if they do not pay back on their loans (See more below). However, currently, our repayment rates are above 90% and investors are getting 19% APR on average.

Bullshit! Your site encourages scammers!

I have been posting warning messages when a user tries to take out more than one (6!!) loans at once, only to be emailed by your support saying I am harassing users and my account will be locked. Just over a simple warning message!

You really don't care what scams go on as long as you get your cut.

It is SHIT.

What they don't tell you is that, when you lend, they will give you back much less than what you gave because "the value increased so it is the same".

Fuck it.

I LOVE BTCJam. Excellent source of coins without having to mine Grin

To the OP: See the account above? See the big red SCAMMER tag?

That's exactly what you're going to find at btcjam...and they're not as easily identified.

Hi All,

I have thought about playing with BTCjam for a while and thought I would see if anyone else is using/having much success with it?

It clearly has more than its fair share of scammers, but it appears to also have a lot of legit projects or personal loan requests that don't look too silly.

I am a little confused how they state the interest rate for the loans and I have emailed BTCjam twice from both my work and personal gmail acocunts and have not received any reply to my question at all, which seriously discourages me from bothering with their platform.

Take a look at this example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2JYIgMaP7k8eFVWTkZ0cjcyVFU/edit?usp=sharing
How is the interest in this example calculated? Is it 20% of the outstanding balance per month? I cant get it to add up.

Moving on, does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives to BTCjam, preferably project investments or providing liquidity to traders, that kind of stuff?

Best,

-Evil
