I have a bunch of my money locked in CD's in coinlenders, specifically to keep me from gambling, and to earn a little interest instead Smiley

how does he know you'll pay him back ? this is the internet after all....

r3wt is in need of a loan for an asic. will the almight tradefortress extend the helping hand?

I think you will be granted as long as you can pay the few bucks of registration fee and give out your identity to TF
wut, how much is the reg fee, and how do i know that my information is safe with him? i'm a little cautious because this is the internet, and that kinda negates the point of Anonymity.

Sorry but the point of the CAPTCHA is to prevent people from brute forcing or guessing a lot of passwords. It works fine here. I am guessing recaptcha is serving you very challenging captchas where they know both solutions to (they do that if you fail a lot of captchas, and it's like catch 22)..

reCAPTCHAs work fine, but I always found them to be a pain to read: it is probably the most targeted captcha system by spammers/attackers, so they have to fight OCRing with heavy gear. As a result, they are IMO *barely* decipherable by human eye, at least 50% of the time. It adds about 5-6 seconds to the login process everytime. We can all live with it, but what about something like this:

Thats why i always type captcha first to wait for a new code of 2FA. \

BTW, Coinlenders is by far the easiest and best way to keep my hands from gambling. As he is trustworthy enough by far and it is like paper wallet for me to have the same function, only it gives me MOAR BTC. Keep up the good work bro (still curious to who you are lending now)

I would like to loan 3 BTC, willing to pay back 5 BTC within 2-3 weeks. I am not too sure what to offer as a collateral, please give me suggestions. I am going to buy a casascius 25 btc coin, and my current balance is 23btc ish. 3 more means that I can buy it, then I will redeem it and pay you back 5 btc.

Thanks

Erm. You want to buy a 25BTC Physical Coin for 26BTC and when you receive it you want to redeem it?!

Maybe the metal is worth 1 BTC?  Huh

I'm thinking about depositing some BTC into there wallets and possibly a CD. Has anyone used coinlenders to store btc and gain intrest, any problems?


 I bought a CD that expires in November so I can't tell you about successful withdrawal until then, but I have deposited and withdrawn successfully from the general coin lenders deposit account.

As a result, they are IMO *barely* decipherable by human eye, at least 50% of the time. It adds about 5-6 seconds to the login process everytime. We can all live with it, but what about something like this:

Code:
/* PSEUDO-CODE */

function login_mask () {
  if (has_failed_attempts(user_ip_addr) || is_tor_address(user_ip_addr)) {
    return mask_with_captcha;
  } else {
    return mask_without_captcha;
  }
}

function login (credentials) {
  if check_credentials(credentials) {
    // (...)
  } else {
    set_failed_attempt(user_ip_addr);
    // (...)
  }
}

// Called once every hour or less often if you want
clear_failed_attempts();
(...)


This is of course a security trade-off, especially if the attacker has a whole botnet under his control, but let n be the number of network nodes under attacker's control, they will "only" be able to try n user/pass combos without going through the captchas. It can be further mitigated by tracking the number of failed attempts from *all IPs* in a certain amount of time (let's say 60 sec), and if there are unusually high failed count within delta-t, switch to always-captcha mode.

Notice the Tor protection that would require a captcha everytime, this could be implemented using a DNS-based check for Tor IP addresses, for example.

Just my daily satoshis... (and I hate it too when someone comes with obvious ideas that are just tricky to implement Wink )

I just did about 50 captchas, some of which I know I did right and still can't get logged on. Is there any possible way to not have to do those stupid things?

Done. Without manual intervention, you would have got it 12 hours later, which is unfair. So two interest payments in one day Smiley

do you need verification  loan out BTC?

or is it just thoes who want to loan?

If you mean verification for deposits, no, you don't need verification, but I guess TradeFortress *might* have some questions if you deposit, for example, 35000 BTC, and that the inputs of these coins have been dormant since, let's say, September 2012...

I love the Free Bitcoin World. May it stay so as long as possible Smiley
