@Vod : Honestly I'm talking this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11052314
those account belong to loan scammers, I gave a sign and told to lender about that, but he keeps accepting their loan request.
If it is not againts the rules, I won't ruin someone's business and bother lending section anymore.
Honestly, even though Neotex is encouraging scams, I don't think he will stop accepting as he is profiting from it. Get accounts for low price and sell it - Profit!!!
Using your account as collateral is not against the rules. Having more the one account is not against the rules.
As long as the lender ensures (beyond reasonable doubt) that the account wasn't hacked then used as collateral.
This may be a stupid question, but how are the accounts sold. Whenever I see an account for sale, everybody wants the seller to send a signed message from a BTC address that was posted a few months back to prove that the account wasn't hacked. If someone takes possession of an account that was pledged as collateral, how does he prove that the account is now his and wasn't hacked?
I think he should only provide the 'first' signed message(by the real owner - or previous owner). Unless he will also buy the private key (of the bitcoin address) from the seller and he will be able to sign all the bitcoin message that he wants.
So if I understand you correctly, you use the same signed message that the original owner gave you. Is that correct?
Yes, this is the 'unique' way to provide a signed message when you want to sell the account (if the user will default the loan). ** or unless he will sell also the bitcoin private key.
