Topic: How much for a loan (600BTC)? (Read 1833 times)
capn noe,
Since you are new you may not know about the "ignore" button. Right below Electic Mucus you will see a little yellow "ignore" bar. If you click on it then you won't have to read anything more from him. The more people that have placed someone on ignore the more yellow the bar. His bar is very yellow because you are not the only one that is annoyed by him. Ignore him and forget him.

ElectricMucus, capn noe is one of the few people offering real world products for BTC.
If you would look in his thread you see that he is someone who just resently dicoffered Bitcoin and is already hooked.
If you look in the thread in the sig. You can see pics and the homepage of his real world company which has already sold products ordered through this forum.
The worth of this company is definitely worth more than 6000$, so there is at least reason to believe it legit.
The matter of safety and scam probability should be discussed before actually giving a loan, but just attacking anyone on sight isn't helping.

So, tell me, were you a parrot in your past life?
Oh wow this is becoming more entertaining than I initially thought.
Protip: If this were a genuine effort you would have responded to the issues about volatility over the lending period, which you didn't.
This post would be representative of genuine effort if it recognized the ongoing discussion about loan volatility going on already in this thread.

Yeah, I wonder if some of these comments aren't copy/pasted from a file.

But I don't think you find a competitive loan here. Bitcoiners are still used to ridiculous rates from various scams.
2) I lend out my BTC and get back LESS of them. I end up with LESS BTC at the higher value.
Not if you just use BTC as transfer medium of value as I proposed.
Meaning
- 1. The Lender buy bitcoin worth 6000$ and transfers them
- 2. The reciever sells them, as he need $
- 3. To payback he buy bitcoin worth of 6000$ + interest
- 4. Lender has made a profit
This way both partys are protected from voltarity.
- 1. The Lender buys bitcoin worth 6000$ and keeps them
AND I do not have to worry about a default!
In my experience you have to go through this with almost every loan request.
While I can understand people wanting to call out actual scammers, it's usually the people who aren't involved in lending who shout the loudest.

Seriously though, a scam accusation thread for each post would be pretty awesome. Trollish subforums for offtopics, doxxing, mocking, and the like with little or no moderation is a great way to make sure people with VERY IMPORTANT POINTS TO MAKE can make them. The 'trolls' here are responsible for more investigation than any Bitcoin Police ever were, and that service shouldn't be disregarded.
Scammers Are Pieces Of Shit would be a good name for that subforum.

Yep, using BTC only as transfer medium for the value.

This also makes global loaning easier.
No the best thing would be to delete threads like yours on sight.
So, yes then. Or you think... the mods should have a system for deleting posts that wouldn't involve a thread beforehand?
words words words words words
If you say so.
I do. Maybe a good protocol would be to create a scam accusation thread for every loan request like this, to sideline discussion about risk assessment?
Eh?

At least you could have read this thread and come up with something more trustworthy and entertaining. What you did there is like you told a 14 year old to come up with something which fits the description and post it.
Congrats, I'd give you a trollpoint if I had some left

The loan I am asking about is not 600BTC, I put that in there as an estimate for scale. The truck I am looking at is not exactly 6000USD either, but it is also an indicator of scale. Frankly I'm not really ASKING for a loan, I'm more interested in what terms I'd be offered for one especially of this scale. That also doesn't include the sales taxes and initial maintenance that the vehicle will undergo before I add it to my fleet, which I can't calculate yet. I expect when I go in to ask about a loan next week I'll be asking for closer to 7500USD.
Also, for those that might respond with rates; I will succumb to almost any identity requirement. Keep that in mind for your valuation.
If somehow I came to terms with someone and actually went forward with this, I'd put a hard figure down.
I guess I'd better update the first post. Please, nobody send me 600BTC at this point. The actual loan amount I'm asking for will not be 600BTC, but 'near it'. I am willing to undergo any identity scrutiny.

First of all as of this post 6000 dollars is worth 497.5 BTC.
You have okay history, but nothing as big as this.
If you ask me, you just plucked a sum out of the air hoping you would get lent it. Nobody wants be pay interest on an extra 102.5 BTC they won't even use.
Please nobody lend to him. If he likes he can provide me or another trusted party with id and other info, which they will release if you scam. But even then, you will not get your bits back.

I think there are platforms like this in the US as well.
We have them, like http://www.prosper.com/ , but I don't find their rates to be competitive. They aren't even competitive to credit cards.
Edit but I agree bitcoin lenders are unrealistic with their APRs. The other side of it, though, is that there are so many borrowing scams that it's not worth it to offer a low APR.
Try www.lendingclub.com, their rates are very good if you have good credit.

So, does this open the options for service payments for interest? I'll take a 600btc loan to be repaid with USD at time of loan + 20% interest in BTC to be used in shipping and receiving costs as well as credit in my surplus. I'd deliver a few skids of materials 6 states away and call that 'interest' just fine.
eh?

Yes the rates were inflated by BS&T however you will still have to pay a lot more in interest because:1) I keep my BTC and do not lend them out. I end up with the same number of BTC at the new higher value.
2) I lend out my BTC and get back LESS of them. I end up with LESS BTC at the higher value.
You will not find anyone (who is long BTC) willing to part with their BTC for a "reasonable" dollar on dollar interest rate and this has nothing to do with scams, pirateat40 or BCS&T.
You will find people (me for instance) who lend out BTC for reasonable BTC on BTC interest rates. But the "real" intestest rate you will pay if you have to buy BTC to pay back the loan in six months can and probably will be astronomical.
