Not new on here, but not very active either. 

Seeking a 0.09 btc loan until 12/13/13.  Waiting for a CB order to clear and also interested in establishing a bit of trust.  I dont have any other crypto coins to use as collateral. 

Will repay 0.11 btc total by 12/13/13

If interested, reply to thread.  Thank you

You'll have low chances of finding a loan without a collateral - especially a coinbase user :P
I'll give you some advice:  Get off coinbase, They'll scam you sooner or later.

Why do you need the btc right now?
Why can't you wait?
How could we trust you?

There is an item I wish to purchase.

I can wait, and will wait if need be - but would prefer to not.

I can tell you that you can trust me til I'm blue in the face, but it ain't gonna do much.  So I find this to be a loaded question.  It's a small request, so it would be situation where the lender is take a "calculated risk" I suppose. 

Do you have any collateral?
0.1 btc is a huge amount.

I stated above that I do not have collateral, but thank you for inquiring regardless.

You said that you do not have other altcoins to use as collateral, but maybe you got something else?

Not sure what could be used, but always open to suggestions. 
I'm not new to btc and i have alot of transaction history associated with my address.  1MDiEqfA5pFEgqbv5r6Q4bS9bp1r7JfNbt     
Not sure why i'm mentioning it, but I felt it lent some credibility to me.

That doesn't really matter, does it?  I'll show you tradefortress's address, he has even more :P  Means nothing.
Also, nobody knows if you actually own that address.

Not unless he actually signs a message with the private key of that address (of course after he actually moves the BTC to another account). Otherwise, yeah one can simply post any old address without any proof that it is actually owned by them.

I don't mean to jack his because frankly it doesn't concern me, but I never did understand the whole signing thing. Hows that work exactly ?

Like, I use all my BTC address with blockchain.info's android app. So lets say I wanted to send someone 0.01 or w/e. How do I sign it and whats the purpose of signing ? I have heard signing addresses can prove you own it but I have to toss a flag on that one because if messages can be signed with provate keys, then all I need is anyones address with the private key and a 0.01 balance, sin a message and go o look, its my address.

Again, my apologies for jacking this thread.

I also didn't understand how a digital signature meant squat until I looked around and found this:

It is a very useful page that describes how a digital signature works and can be used for verification. Hope this helps.

Get lost, please, Joey. TY.

EDIT : I hope Anita beats you up for being so obvious.
Alternatively, you also might wanna consider leaving this hell and try to enjoying a new life, with real relationships, maybe even love. Just leave this house, break up with Anita, and try a new life.
