ok so im looking for a paypal loan to pay off my electric bill for this month
im after £100 ill pay back either in BTC so you get 1.5BTC back or in some mining power i can do 275MH/s on a pool for you if you want
or even paypal the money back to you in about 3 weeks time

or even a mix of all the above

also to add a really interesting twist to the deal ill have 0.5BTC by Friday XD

also feel free to check on my mining background im pushing 700MH/s on http://btcmine.com/toplist/ and another 300MH/s on slushes pool but mostly BTC mine and im normaly around the top 50 miners or so

ill also check in atleast once every 2 days and give you updates


The reason iv done paypal is worst comes to worst or you get cold feet you can charge back

any previous deals of similar value in here, where the other party trusted you and later got the money / goods from you?

just sold some BTC to AprilShowers and im always around to answer questions
also got good feedback from over 200 people on ebay
and i should even be able to pay around 0.4BTC back by the end of the day

Why do you want to use paypal again, when you were betrayed two times there?

this ones different as there wont be a payback straight away so if for example the investor does a charge back the only person loosing would be them if the inverter sticks it out then they get the reward

its kinda strange but.
also any inverter or loaner (thats a word right) is going to be trusted and have at least a few previous clients which is good enough for me

Hmm, reasonable. I got no money on paypal through.

i can do a UK bank transfer to just has to clear by wednesday

So I guess bank transfers from outside the UK are too slow + currency exchange fee.

Would a loan in BTC work?

sadly not BTC takes to long to shift from the UK exchanges take to long to get transfers depending where your from and what bank your with it could be the same day or next day im with HSBC

Okay, sadly I cannot help you then.

I think what you claim is true and you probably will pay back.
But I also think you should be careful:
Mining difficulty increases -> You get less BTC
If BTC raise, you earn more with mining, but loans also increase.
If BTC decrease, the loan will be less of a problem, but you will gain less from mining.
Kinda restricting both sites to your disadvantage.

im not to botherd about mining increases as i have ASICs on order and in total i can push just over 1GH/s on my 3 cards, if bitcoin skyrockets then the investor makes a fortune but if it crashes ill either pay back more BTC or payback with paypal or even banktransfers

iv done some working out you think you could get the money into my UK bank account by Friday?

Possible I can do this with UK-BT, willing to send me some ID and other information.

yeh depending what you want

I'll give you it by UK-BT.

@Dougie: yeh pm me for details also how long will it take to transfer? kinda tight deadline

just for public record i accepted Dougie's loan at


So if by 13/05/13 the MTgox weighted average is less than £100 then you'll give me BTC1.2 and if it is over £100 you'll send me BTC1.0 since you'll have sent me BTC0.5 by Friday (26/04/13).

If this is fine then send me your account number and sort code and I'll pay it in.


ill keep the thread updated as often as i pay him back :) also got the bank transfer very quick to

Thanks vm1990.

Just thought I'd update this thread. vm1990 sent me 1.7 BTC for the first £100 payment. He then asked for a second loan. I sent him £75 and he sent me 1.2 BTC.

So in total I risked £175 but at one time the most I risked was £100. I've put down trust to the value of 2.9BTC though.

Great guy and always giving updates on the pool.

Thanks again vm1990.

Thanks Dougie :) very easy to deal with and flexible if i ran a bit behind on the repayments, bitcoins hard to work out repayments with changing difficulty's

responded quickly when we needed to work stuff out
