Hey everyone, I am trying to build my credit and BTC reputation with a small loan, I will be needing a larger loan in the near future for a business venture. please take a moment to check it out. I have had one investor already.  https://btcjam.com/listings/102

Thanks everyone!

Thank you guys, got another investment.

Awesome I am actually trying to do precisely the same thing. I am awaiting my ID and address verification though. I wasnt going to post this link yet but meh https://www.btcjam.com/listings/151 May be both prosper nice to meet you!

same to you, good luck.

I'm trying to invest in both of your plans but the stupid site keeps coming up with "Amount can't be greater than what's left" or some such nonsensical error. I haven't the foggiest why but I'm guessing there's a bug with the site somewhere?

Stupid and obvious question. Have you deposited coins into your wallet on there? I havent a clue if it isnt a balance issue maybe they havent shown up on their side yet?

this bug is new to me. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I do not plan on activating the loan until it is 100% funded. Thank you for being interested though! :) I'm excited already to have strangers willing to back up the new possible great ideas!

Thank you Sega01 your my first contributor =D My ID verification went through but my address one still hasnt. Still an improvement. I believe from reading the forums and seeing his name on my comments for my listing that Tulkas is the founder of the site so I am sure that if you cant figure out your errors you could probably message him and get assistance.

For those of you interested I.do have another btcjam listing. This one is not as important right now, but maybe it will be funded by next month. https://btcjam.com/listings/122
again I say this one doesn't really matter, I will not be activating for awhile, even if it is funded.

BTW gretchen congrats on your first investment.

p.s. to every newbie: keep in mind, never request a loan amount for more then what you are able to pay back! These investors worked hard to get what they have to help us. If ppl screw them, it screws the rest of us. Would you invest in anyone if others didn't pay you back?

Bump. I just came in second in the hourly free sealswithclubs tournie! I will win one!

Yes, and I waited for the funds to be confirmed as well. So I have no idea what gave.

Strange. I would send Tulkas a PM and I am sure it wouldnt hurt to track the transaction if possible and see if it did make it to them.

Hello nobbynobbynoob,

I'm sorry for your trouble, can you please send me a PM with your account info and the amount you are trying to invest so we can track down the problem?

Tulkas, I have tried importing my bitcoin-otc but it gives me error retrieving keyid

Glad to be of assistance, fornak8.

For any other newcomers looking to get loans on BTCjam there are a few things worth considering;

It is a fairly new site, so people want to try it out with small amounts first and limit their exposure to individuals. That means small loans are more likely to get funded.

Very high interest rates are a red flag; if you are not going to pay anything back, the interest rate you are offering doesn't matter.

Anything you can add in the way of id verification gives confidence to lenders.

The old cliche about banks holds true, you only really want to lend money to people who don't need it.

Fornak8, what is your bitcoin-otc rating? (users with no ratings cannot be imported)

As a newbie I am truly amazed that bitcoin is a full blown economy with exchanges, loans, frauds etc.!

Tulkas ok I see. no rating yet.

Best of luck with with no previous credit .............

that is very nice page and it is good idea.

Very true, but the site development is on hold.
I have to redeem myself with the BCTalk community.
Once I take care of my (small) debts, Then I will continue with site development.
