Bitcoin Forum

Hello

I am looking for 3 BTC loan. The loan can be paid back Monday February 4.

What do you plan to use the coins for, and what are the circumstances that prevent you from buying the coins with fiat currency?

I currently have no cash. I get paid Jan 31 when I plan to buy some bitcoins It should take a couple of business days that's why I put February 4th payback date. I have used this forum before to get a small loan of 2 btc back in October 2012. I haven't ask the person but its possible I could get reference from him. I rather not say what the loan is for.

I made a listing on BTCjam

So it's Drugs?

how can I go about getting myself off this scammer list?

Simply by having a successful transaction. The list doesn't say that you definitely are a scammer. It's just showing that you fit a pattern that other scammers have followed. As you can see on the list, more of them have ended up as scams than as honest transactions.

Honesty and openness play big parts in successful loan transactions. Following the guidelines in this thread will help a lot in securing a loan from someone and avoiding the stigma of a potential scammer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=97214.0

Those tips don't guarantee a loan. They can just make potential lenders feel more confident about lending to a person, not a forum account. If you're a legitimate borrower, you'll have nothing to worry about. Most lenders I see tend to be more concerned about whether or not you'll repay, not what you're using the loan for.

And in the end, some lenders just straight out refuse to lend to new members.

Does having a successful past loan repayed qualify me for getting off that list?

Yes, at least I think so.

The only scammers marked on that list are the ones indicated in red text with "Scammer".  The others listed are either ones who look like a duck and quack like a duck, or the "green list" which are the few whose postings might have appeared to be scams at first glance but turned out to be legit. If you are "Credit score" verified on BTCJam, you probably won't be listed here.  Other forms of verification from BTCJam don't carry as much weight unfortunately.

To my understanding, past successful loans don't have any bearing on whether or not someone makes the list. It's about fitting the pattern, not past transactions. The reason for this is the confidence loan issue: people who get a few successful loans to gain trust before running off with someone's money (see the stickied topic for more information).

In terms of receiving a loan, people will be more likely to lend to you if they see you have a good history here on the forums: successful trades and loans, good contributions to forum discussion, etc.. It's all about trust. Someone with three successful BTC1 loans may not be seen as trustworthy compared to someone with two successful sales and a background of helpful contributing posts. There are a lot of factors people consider when they decide to enter into transactions with fellow BitCoiners ;)

I've removed you from "the list" since you have been around for a while and a quick review of your posting history shows a level of actual content and contributions (that and you asked nicely :P).

Edit: OHHHHHH! This is my 1000th post! THANKS, OBAMA!

thanks. should I start a new thread to get rid of this negative vibe?

Nope, No reason to hide it, If you have made a step up here don't step back down by flooding with loan threads. See it as a good thing.

I'll keep this open until January 28 Monday 12:00 am est.

ahahahahahaha! made my day.

Well maybe next time.
