Title: Is BTCJam legit? Post by: dbbit on September 03, 2013, 09:21:06 PM BTCJam asks for quite a bit of personal information in order to join.
They can obviously create havoc with this if either they're malicious, or just have bad security around their site. Does anybody else have experience with BTCJam? Either from an investor perspective or loaner perspective? Seems like the BTC equivalent of LendingClub, which is great, if it's legit. Title: Re: Is BTCJam legit?

And probably find some reviews. Title: Re: Is BTCJam legit? Post by: Rawted on September 03, 2013, 09:24:23 PM I've only loaned there, never borrowed. However i have to say it is one of the worst investment vehicles for your bitcoin. That place has just as many, if not more, scammers than this forum. I would not recommend using that service.

Post by: monbux on September 03, 2013, 10:08:34 PM Not that I know of. BTCjam has this rule for buyers:
3. International Arbitration Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach of this contract, shall be settled by binding internet arbitration at net-arb.com. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding and judgment may be entered thereon. Not sure if it does it, But so far, invested in 10 people, almost half in which had no rep, got all of them back safely. Title: Re: Is BTCJam legit?

Post by: marcovaldo on September 04, 2013, 09:47:37 AM So what happens with the old investors, no more fee rebates? I imagine I can withdraw the coins I have in your site right? The old site has shut down however the demo instance has been prefilled with real world data. The demo site functions exactly the same way as the "old site".It is only a demo, and should not be seen as an investment. It is only a demo, and should not be seen as an investment. I hope that the demo is fully functioning. We shall see at 1am.TradeFortress = owner of coinlenders.com |
