What altcoins do you have as collateral?  I would give you the loan for LTC collateral.

If you haven't already made a deal with Vod, I can possibly give you this loan. Which altcoin is it?

Be careful - he's posting in multiple threads at the same time for this.

He has $638 MachineCoin, which he claims are worth $1 each.  That begs the question, if they really were worth $1 each, why doesn't he just flip them on an exchange?  That's because they're not liquid at all. Perhaps the most obscure altcoin out there right now.  The only place I found an exchange was some very sketchy bare-bones site that listed a MachineCoin (MAC) at .00000085, nowhere near the $1/MAC they were claiming.

tl;dr

Scam.

Thanks for the information.  I've flagged his account in the hopes of no one falling for his scam.

That's false logic because selling an asset does not have the same economic effect as borrowing against it.

However, claiming the collateral is worth $1 when it is actually worth much less is a scam in any case.

I see your point, but assuming he is a scammer, there is no perceived economic effect on his end.  It's a swap and run transaction.
