Thanks. But in that case, is it possible that the lender will sell away the collateral and run away if the collateral worth more than the loan itself?

If the lender is not established as trusted, you should escrow the collateral to a trusted third party in order to avoid this case. For exemple, if the lender is a newbie account and want to hold your collateral, don't send it to him but to a trusted escrow. Better pay a small escrow fee than lost your collateral.

I am new here.

Wonder how does the collateral of domain and altcoin and message work? Firstly, how do I receive and keep the collateral? Secondly, how do I turn these into cash or bitcoin?

Thanks in advance.

1a. for domains you or the escrow will need to have a registrar account. the domain collateral will be transferred to your or the escrow's account. additional fee may be charged.

1b. for altcoin you or the escrow will need to have an address to store that altcoin. from wallet or an exchange.

2. you sell them. duh.  Tongue

I don't lend or borrow here, but I imagine if you wanted to use a domain as collateral it would have to have some value.
There are a few sites out there which will give you an approximate $US valuation for a domain. 
Once you have the value, screenprint it (hopefully with a time and date), and then you will have to hand your domain over to the person giving you the loan, for the period of the loan or an escrow service.

Even with the above info, some lenders may not accept a domain or a website as collat', but if it's worth anything it may well be worth a go.

Hi

I need a loan of 1BTC how to get it

I am new on the community but have all the valid docs with regular income

Regards
Amit

make a thread/post requesting a loan and provide a collateral. not documents like bank statement or other information. but something on this list (under "What is considered collateral?") that is worth at least 1.1BTC, which you will have to hand over to the lender for assurance.

This subforum has an exceptionally high amount of trolling. Legitimate lendees are scared away or simply don't care to subject themselves to unjustified degradation. Skepticism is okay, but please try to be civil. Either way - if you request a loan, be prepared.

Heed this advice and stay away from this section altogether. You're better off selling something you own or make than asking for a loan here.

I have noticed somewhat of a scam trend:

People will offer their domain/website as collateral while giving it outrageous valuations. The amount of the loan will of course be much less then what they claim it to be worth, while the actual value of the domain is closer to zero

Can't you just restrict the IPs? I think there are people who are using many accounts from one IP at the moment. Buying and selling accounts is also helping scammers.

There are some people who appear to be making very risky loans (even to people with negative trust) then end up getting repaid. I speculate that some lenders are lending money to their alts in order to build up trust of their alts so they can eventually borrow more significant money from someone else

After replying the to guy with "100BTC"...... I propose anyone lending money should sign their BTC addy proving they have the BTC.
It should be in OP.

If they have 10BTC or any amount in their wallet on a certain address, if they sign a message using that address we can verify it belongs to them Smiley
You can test it out using your own wallet and sign messages etc.

Thats a very good idea but how will OP prove it is really his wallet?

Maybe some trusted member should open some wallet and ask OP to deposit like 1-2 cent to the said wallet to proof it is him wallet and he have the coins that he whant to lend Smiley

No you can not trust a donator. They might of donated 10BTC when BTC was $0.01 - $5 etc etc.
A lot of hero and donator members were the ones who pulled off the biggest scams. Do not trust any one until you have gone over them thoroughly.. even if they have a bit of good trust.... Perhaps if they have a lot of good trust you could trust them...
