It is just an idea but maybe you could add in the OP if an escrow is involed in the loan.

Either would work...Should start crowfunding with an escrow holding the funds... im sure the active lenders would like something to simplify their jobs too.

If you use my tool, crowdfunding won't be necessary... I really hate scammers, so i would create an online ledger for free (i wouldn't mind getting something in the tipjar once it's completely finished tough Wink )

wouldnt mind tipping at all if it has all those you mentioned earlier :

EDIT: an alternative to scraping the full forum would be this:
- every lender opens an account on my ledger, and adds his/her loanthread
- we all use the same (hidden) tag around our open loans
- i schedule an hourly cronjob, fetch all first pages of all loanthreads for everybody in my database. I use a simple domparser to parse all loans
 Wink

Well... I'm thinking about creating an online ledger without scraper to begin with, and then use the API of the ledger to communicate with a decentralised scraper (probably written in perl, and running as a cronjob from one of my VPS's). That way, i'll avoid heavy load on my main server Smiley

Don't worry about tipping. I was only half-serious when i mentioned it in the first place... I'll do the work for free if the community has a concensus to use the ledger, offcourse i won't complain if i get a small tip now and then... Smiley

EDIT: at the moment, i don't think we've reached a concensus Wink https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/poll-lenders-fighting-scammers-together-1203414

Replied and lets keep the rest of the discussion here mate as the project infos are posted here. If it's affordable i'll fund this project personally and if its not , well im sure we can work something out  Wink

My demo is already running since yesterday. It's ugly as f*ck, and most functionality isn't included yet (if i ever make a beta version, both layout and functionality will be fixed.... I'll only make a beta if the community agrees to use my tool tough)... but it shows you how i would make a tool like this:
http://www.altcoinhosting.com/ledger/

Your tool doesn't scrape this forum, does it?   It would need to be integrated into TSP's script to be of any use.  Otherwise you are just transferring from one manual system to another.

No, it doesn't scrape the forum... I could make a scraper, but i'd hate to reinvent the wheel. If TSP already has a good scraper available, that would be fine  Smiley

- we all use the same (hidden) tag around our open loans
- i schedule an hourly cronjob, fetch all first pages of all loanthreads for everybody in my database. I use a simple domparser to parse all loans

This will ofcourse only work if everybody uses the same tags around their open loans...

i like this idea too. The lenders gotta agree to use it though else it'll be a waste of time and coins.

all data needs to be in same format right? should we discuss here or in the other thread.

Maybe the other thread would be the best place? Otherwise we'll fill TheGr33k's thread with a big discussion Smiley

i like the idea from altcoinhosting, as long as i know "most" ppl that give out loans its cool. its a pain in the ass to check the whole sub for every user that requests a loan.

Be sure to use escrow if you do end up trading with him. I would hate to see you get your hard earned btc stolen from you.

Yes definitely mate Smiley

I think it's a good idea. An all in one spot to double check all the loans.

Good idea, but manual lists are hard to keep up to date.  An automatic system would be much better, but hard to implement.

Yeah i agree, maybe tspacepilot could help out with a script.
I am fairly certain that tspacepilot does not give a shit about the community, and as such has zero interest in making such a script.

...says the dude who got caught trust-farming and setting everyone up for a long-con Roll Eyes

Anyway, if someone wants to hire me to write a script for something, they should PM me.

Definitely curious as james has asked, as I'm sure we could get a community pool together for something rather quickly unless I am over-estimating things Tongue
If you do not wish to publicly answer, then I will be in touch via PM when it is appropriate.

Well the number of people it is actually a good idea to lend to, that actually request loans is very low right now. It is also not necessarily a scam if someone is attempting to borrow additional money while having an outstanding loan (they could have underestimated their needs, and requested a lower amount in order to avoid paying excess interest.

If a lender is not willing to make a simple neutral feedback (and if they are not willing to check for neutral feedback), then I do not see why they would be willing to post (or check) this thread. I would say in a best case scenario, you will need to check for outstanding loans yourself to update this thread, and follow up on loans to confirm once they have been repaid.

This is not the first time a thread like this has been created, and I am not sure how successful it was. I think the concept is good, however there are simply too many lenders who are clueless as to how to protect themselves.

Thank you for your input, and I am very aware of the tremendous amount of work this thread may amount to. It was just an idea we got talking about in another thread and I ran with it figuring it couldn't do any harm. At the very most I end up wasting time and at the very best I save someone from getting scammed. I suppose we'll see how it plays out.
