Why should I risk coming to anyone here over going to my bank? Yes, accept the conditions of the lenders or move along. But, are you trying to present yourselves as a viable option to the traditional banking system, or, do you only want to attract the desperate who have no other alternative?

I'm more curious than anything to be honest.

There is more to bitcoin than just borrowing money.

Yup, I "get it". No worry there. All I'm saying is flagrant use of the Rep system in such a manner without an ounce of proof just scares away legitimate borrowers from whom you could make some money. Just my opinion, but yes its the internet and nobody gives a $hit so move along I suppose.

Someone who registers and requests a $10,000+ loan within 24 hours of registering isn't exactly a legitimate borrower.

Past history has shown that people who borrow large sums of BTC (or any sum of BTC for that matter) have a markedly higher risk of becoming seriously injured to the point of requiring extended stays at a hospital, preventing them from paying back their loans or even logging into the forum. I flagged this guy with negative trust for his own protection and safety.

I understand what you're trying to do... but is it really helpful to abuse the trust system? If I asked for a loan would you give me negative trust?

I have to agree with you. I'd call it abuse of the trust system. You'd think that a public forum such as this would simply be used as a place to introduce the 2 parties. There are enough 3rd party services available to do your due diligence in a secure manner for both parties privately outside of the forum. Instead, a public flogging and application of a stereotype is applied to anything that is not seen as the norm. With some of these posts if my bank behaved this way when I walked in, they'd get a quick kick in the arse.

I'm fairly certain no one here is a "bank". You want a loan, have adequate collateral ready. Don't like the terms? Move along. When you offer loans then you can dictate terms. As for the flogging, do some light reading in the scam section, maybe something will click you you'll "get it".

It isn't abusing the trust system by giving negative trust to someone who registered a new account and within four hours requested a (equiv) $11K USD loan. I challenge you to find a single successful loan request that was made by a same-day account that was ever paid back. You can begin your search using forum search feature here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search

Let me know if you can find one because honestly I've never heard of a single one in the history of the Lending sub-section. I'm not trying to be sarcastic - I could be wrong since I haven't really checked that thoroughly. But without putting much effort into it I can probably point you to several dozen same-day loan request which were filled and NEVER paid back.

Better safe than sorry.
And to answer your question, probably not before investigation. The only ones who get flaged right away are the ones jumping directly from newbie jail to lending/markeplace.

Perhaps people should have to put up 1-5 BTC before they're allowed to ask for a loan. It seems most loans that are below this are nonsense anyway, really, a loan to buy pot or a shirt? Please.

I forgot to include the transaction fee, so it might take a few hours to a few days to actually show up on the block chain. Keep an eye out for it.

I don't know if I should take you seriously or not, Wouldn't you prefer to speak with me in person or over the phone prior to lending money? I take it this is all a joke to you and unless you can clarify or appear legitimate im going to assume you didn't send anything.

Take him seriously. Humor us.

That is why we love you around here TC!

Keep that love between you and him, please. Grin

I still appreciate the switch to the irony side I've been seeing in your latests posts, TC.
Scambusting with a pinch of humor, just makes it more enjoyable!

PS : is aksplace really a fruit? Are you a fruit aksplace?

Guys, he's a single father with 4 kids, must be legit.

We just need to hear about his recent car wreck, house fire, hit by a train, bus, plane story for verification.

Don't forget the story about how he was just made un-employed.
