Bitcoin Forum

Hello all,

I'm looking for a loan of BTC1 to help cover a vet visit for the family cat whom is falling ill. He is having blood in his urine so it is most likely a UTI judging by his symptoms. Regardless of what is actually wrong with him, I need to get an initial vet visit for him. The visit will cost roughly $42, and then medication [hoping he doesn't need surgery] could cost anything. I'm living pretty much "paycheck to paycheck" as it is, so an unexpected expense like this makes things difficult. I am currently starting a new job working at Walmart for $8.75 an hour this Saturday which will allow me to repay my loan.

I'm looking for a loan of BTC1 for a one month period. Interest will be 10% for the initial month and then an additional 5% for each additional week if late [just in case]. This loan is to be made free of collateral. You can review my account and see I have accepted numerous loans in the past of much higher amounts [multiple BTC back when BTC was above $500] free of collateral, and all have been repaid.

I can accept partial funding from multiple lenders if necessary. Thank you for your time.

Had I known that you have some form of collateral, I think I would've loaned you.

I could also loan something to you...
Could you explain me what kind of collateral are u giving?
Thanks

I can loan you about 0.1

Can you sign an address used in a previous, successfully completed loan?
Account ownership changes are all the rage.

Today at 09:31:05 PM - GBattaglia - password reset via email

I would be wary of lending to this account until some proof of ownership is shown.

My account was being handed over to devthdev for escrow.  The password was reset for that purpose.

It's part of the collateral. No need to worry about it.

Any updates? Did you lend him?

I'm waiting on devthedev to contact me that everything is put into place, I'll then send the Bitcoin straight away. I'm hoping it's going to be completed by today as I'm away tomorrow for a while.

When it's sent I'll post the tx and also keep you up to date throughout the process.

Thanks! Off-topic : When devthedev come online, could you please notify me via PM? I have a trade left which he escrowed. And also, increase your font size of the signature to 4pt or 5pt. Thank you!

Ok, devthedev has the collateral in his possession. I've just sent the 1 Bitcoin: https://blockchain.info/tx/b63a0a4459d776371868d05e1094854c11cfd0bccb3c3e58838eec73b638e9ac

Loan amount: 1 Bitcoin.
Loan Duration: 1 month (Payment due 22^nd of March, 2015
Interest: 10%, additional 5% after each week if late.
Collateral: GBattaglia account.
GBattaglia receiving address: 13i7exDUG7fUTnmv5Z2WyHKV24Eo97wwvg
Welsh's return address: 1Cqw4Zix3cRLGqQr5T1cCD5RzgUSCLYUnS

I don't believe there will be any problems, I wasn't interested in the account itself, but I wanted some sort of leverage. The account is probably worth a little more to him personally than any other person. At least that's the plan. Certainly more than 1 Bitcoin to him.

Confirmed. I have received the BTC and have cashed it out via Coinbase.

My account is worth more to me than its market value, primarily because it uses my real name. GBattaglia is my first initial and last name; Gabriel Battaglia.
I would not like to see the account compromised in anyway, be it trust, reputation, or integrity.

Thank you for the loan and I will keep you posted from this account since my normal account is locked down in escrow. :)

I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you will have some good news with the visit.

Vet visit went well. Oreo [cat's name] is now on a special diet to help
prevent and reduce the urinary issues. A family member paid for the vet visit,
but because of this I covered some other bills with the loan money.

Seeing BTC's price increase of over 30% is really disheartening. I'll see about
getting the money to you this first paycheck on Thursday [so BTC by Monday].
The price of BTC has me a little worried.

Great to hear the vet visit went well. I didn't notice the price go up, I rarely check it. It's a little unfortunate timing for you.

Loan has been repaid. Please leave positive trust on my legitimate account and contact escrow so I can get my old account back.
Thank you very much for the loan.

Please confirm you have received payment and contact escrow. :)

Glad your cat is fine, please share a photo of your cat, would be nice to see him.

Thanks, I'll post a picture in the near future.

@Welsh,
still awaiting confirmation. :)

I've contacted escrow with payment confirmation while I await Welsh's confirmation:

I see that the address for the repayment had received a transaction of 1.1 BTC several days ago. I am surprised that devthedev has not returned your account to you by now. Have you actually sent a PM to him? You should be able to use the fact that the repayment address received the amount to repay the loan as enough to get your account back

Hoping this goes well. I know Battaglia, he gave me a small 0.05 loan many, many months ago. He's an honest and great guy :)

What are you talking about? If you read the post above yours, you would see that the loan was repaid days ago and the OP is waiting on devthedev to return his account back to him

I think he knows this. I imagine he is saying that he is hoping that I get my account back because I'm a "honest and great guy". ;) 

Thanks Anshar btw.  :)  I imagine all will go well. Both DevTheDev and Welsh are reputable so I see no reason why they'd vanish/steal
my account. It wouldn't really do them any good. I take it Welsh is just busy, same for DevTheDev.

Well it does not appear that devthedev has posted in this thread, so I doubt that he is monitoring it. You probably should send him a PM and/or post on his escrow thread to get his attention

I have.

Still waiting to hear much of anything from either Welsh or DevTheDev.

what's going on why devthedev is not returning the account
He is busy?
He have to just send the details back only password which is work of fraction of seconds.

Welsh has not been online for 5 days and his signature says that he will be on the forums on a limited basis until early April.

I am not sure what is causing the delay with devthedev as he should be able to confirm repayment via the blockchain and I would think he would have put a clause that he can return the collateral upon the undisputed request in order to prevent these kinds of delays.

Devthedev is off too. He said he will come today but there maybe a delay.

Maybe, if anybody know any Welsh's email id or something, it will be good to tell him.

Thanks for the reminder, Vod.

Granted I repaid the loan with interest earlier than was specified and awaited my account to come out of escrow even after repayment.
As you can see, my account has now been returned thanks to DevTheDev. 

Here is a picture of the cat. https://i.imgur.com/5OIDACA.jpg

Don't forget to change your password. Per the security log and your trust profile it has not been changed today

 :)

I love cats, and I believe no living creature should needlessly suffer.  Glad everything worked out for you! 

Your cat is adorable! I am glad your cat is better now.

Sorry guys, I've run into some personal problems of my own recently. I'll catch up with the thread and get everything sorted. Sorry about this, seems the account was returned. Sorry about not being here to deal with any of the issues which have occurred.

I got into a flutter as soon as I saw a message from someone pointing me to this thread, so I contacted devethedev straight away, without reading all the thread requesting for the account to be sent back to it's original owner. However, after about 2 minutes of further reading of this thread I read that it had already been returned. I've contacted devethedev & GBattaglia to arrange for me to send a tip to them for the inconvenience caused. I'll look to get the tips sent this weekend hopefully.

Again, I'm awfully sorry for any stress caused by myself not being here. Glad of the news about the cat! I've left the appropriate feedback too. I do appreciate everyone not jumping to the conclusion that I'm up to anything fishy, always nice to be reassured that there's people who don't assume the worse straight off the bat, so thanks for that everyone.


Tipped Devthedev, just waiting for a response from GBattaglia.
Sent Gbattaglia 0.05BTC to compensate for the late response from myself.
