Topic: Ledn - Canada's Largest Digital Asset-backed Lender (Read 323 times)

After the recent news by Dan Held in twitter ( https://twitter.com/danheld/status/1334152338806894598?s=20 ) I have been thinking on using this service.
Did some research, I just found this thread and I'm amazed that the CM of Ledn has leave it here like that. 6 messages in BitcoinTalk? Really? That is a huge red light, in my opinion.

Any other recent info from the last year? I find it really strange that a big personality like Dan Held or Qiao Wang endorse them, while they don't really speak about them at all.
What I'm missing?

Something very interesting and beautiful, but I have no idea how the system works.. I live in Turkey, How do I get Bitcoin debt? What documents do you want from us? how much can you lend? Should we come to the canada for this? Can we meet in person? Thanks.

Seems very odd to me that a company that claims to be so well known cannot sign a message showing they have any bitcoins.  :/

So sign a message from your company's own wallet to show you hold any bitcoins at all....

We understand the confusion here and wanted to offer this point of clarification.

As part of our service, we create an unique Bitcoin wallet address for each client. Therefore, each client's bitcoin is held in its own segregated address. Since each unique address belongs to each client we do feel this is private information (similar to a bank disclosing bank account numbers and balances of all of its clients). All bitcoins are held direct in cold storage and not kept in any hot wallets before receiving or sending. We are proud of the company we are building and we'd also be happy to answer any questions through a direct meeting at our office or by phone.

Please keep the conversation positive as the entire community needs support in restoring trust after recent events.

The "lesson" will be that you really own/stack the kind of money/funds that you say that you have in your possesion.
He didn't ask you to sign any client's addresses, just an addy eg. your company's "hot wallet" or such.

As a company related to such transactions by funding others with fiat money through/with crypto assets, a BTC "company wallet" will be a mandatory. To sign it, it will be an easy way to prove your words. Besides, you hold the keys of all wallets not the client, thus it belongs to you and you can sign it without any kind of problem.
No violation at all.

Also you certainly have some defaults over the year that you are online working in this field and of course you gain some profits, right?
Don't you have a "pool" wallet for such things? You earn BTC and move them in order to gain the fiat back, correct?

I'm not asking you to send personal information.  The blockchain is public - I'm asking you to prove you hold any coins.

If you are refusing such a simple request, I'm sure most people will assume you are just blowing smoke up our ass, along with your fake google reviews.

We work out of 350 Bay St., an office that has many other professional service firms working out of it. It has been beneficial to us as we have already expanded our space as we have taken on a larger team. We invite you to come in and meet the team at any time.


Yes, this is correct. Before sending any bitcoin, we will execute a legally binding loan agreement.
If you are interested in viewing our loan agreement, please send us an email to [email protected] and we are happy to send you a copy.


After executing a loan agreement, each customer sends their bitcoin to a segregated address which holds only their collateral. I'm still unsure how this information helps you.


This is Personal Information and it is included in our Privacy Policy.

I want to make sure an unheard of company renting temporary office space is not just setting up to scam bitcoins.

We have to send the irreversible coins to you first, correct?

Now tell me how signing an address showing you actually hold bitcoins violates any part of your customer's privacy?

There is nothing in your policy about that.

Can you share with us what you are trying to learn by having us sign a message from one of our customers' assigned addresses?

We are responsible for protecting our customer's privacy, and as part of our policy we do not share this information with the public.

Sweet.  Can you sign a message from an address holding some funds?

Yes, we have been actively lending since November 2018 and have a substantial portfolio of loans outstanding from customers across Canada.

We also have returning customers with multiple loans.

Yes, the name of the company was coined from the term HODL.

This is an important question on why anyone would trust us. We have adopted institutional grade cold storage with policies and procedures that are backed by external investment. We consciously made the decision to not co-mingle bitcoin collateral; each customer receives a segregated wallet address that can have the bitcoin amount verified on-chain.

In addition to the above, we are a new site but not new to Bitcoin. Here are a few links in the press that provide additional information about our company:

P.S. Thank you for pointing out that our loans are backed by bitcoins

Do you have any active loans out now?

Where did you get the inspiration of the naming?
From HODL?

Fairly new site not even a year. How would you assure people that you will not keep the bitcoins.
