I need 0.03BTC loan but after reading this .. i do not think anyone will give me this .. 
A lot more people definitely need to see this post. There are tons of people willing to scam in order to make a quick buck. It's sad that the entirety of the bitcoin platform has to do with: connecting, networking, and being rewarded for maintaining security but there are still so many people willing to jeopardize and skew online transaction reputation.

Yes it seems with no collateral or reputation , people in our situation will find it very difficult .
Lending money is not an option this nowadays it's better to work hard and put some effort even if it is a little money but guaranteed safe
very hard to trust someone online especially when you send bitcoin.
Scam trends:
- There is an ongoing scam issue where "lenders" are saying they'll issue loans for collateral. The "lender" then takes the collateral and disappears. Prevent this by using reputable escrow providers or only dealing with lenders you trust. Keeping in mind that proving available funds isn't necessarily connected to whether or not a lender will steal collateral and disappear, you can also ask a lender asking for collateral to show he has the funds to lend you by signing a message with his private key (most BTC clients have a GUI allowing you verify messages, though they don't all use the same scheme to do this -- if a message fails to verify, you may wish to ask the signer to tell you which client and scheme he used so you can double-check using the same set-up he has ).
I enjoy this part, it shows that borrowers can face scammers too, not only the lenders. But I don't understand the part "you can also ask a lender asking for collateral to show he has the funds to lend you by signing a message with his private key (most BTC clients have a GUI allowing you verify messages, though they don't all use the same scheme to do this...). Can someone explain it to me, please?
there are so many newbie's here that's why people doubt or get hesitate to make a deal
It's really such a bad idea to get a loan. We really need to earn bitcoin in a hardway. Really hard to trust people nowadays when money talks.
can anyone explain me first what is the meaning of "OP", this peculiar term is very frequently used over here. and second this is how to sign a message when some ask for
I still cant figure out how a bitcoin lending service even works, do you owe the money or the bitcoins? is the interest on the money or the bitcoins?
If I lend some Bitcoin to someone, and if the deadline has passed and he still had not paid. How long I have to wait til the collateral be mine?
i want to any one lend me
what i must do to trust for me
what collateral i must provide ?

IMHO most people here are not reliable enough to get any loan. I was burned too many times on scammers even from legendary accounts with good rep. People are buying/hacking such accounts and they are defrauding money.
So yeah anonymity = no loan for you dude. ever

Lenders have always used 3rd party for escrow service. But make sure it's legit .
Is it possible to get a sticky of Trusted lender services?
services, maybe, people would be a bad idea
i have seen members on here, long time members that have helped people and given money away and such either start a website or service or get involved and two weeks later that trusted members is gone and so is the site.
the same has been true for lending and escrow, it makes you wonder if the two years it took to build the account were all just a setup for that one time site take down of hundreds of Bitcoins, maybe, i think people just change over time, especially when the miracle cure of Bitcoin did not solve all their problems by making them rich, well, actually, in the end, it did, lol
point is, two three year old accounts with trust and honor on here have turned and ran quickly and without a word, a list of services would be nice, i would watch and suspect every individual in the end
My favorite thing of all time here is escrow. no proven trust, just a third party that says they will keep the other two safe by holding everyone's money. Just using the word escrow makes two or three people pop out and start trading. It is like a magic necklace that makes you appear trustworthy and you are just you, can be trusted or not. They even create scripted websites to create the illusion of trust.
Anyone can do that....find a domain that includes free SSL for the first year, some web hosting, find the script out there for free or drop ten bucks and suddenly your BTC account has the money in it from one of more people, protected by you, lol. I think anyone that does this for a year or more and watches $1000's of dollars pass through their account, only to make a couple bucks on the service, will get bitter and bolt one say with someone's money.
