Title: Question
Post by: Cyt6000 on August 28, 2013, 04:59:08 PM
Would it be acceptable to ask for a 0.37BTC loan in order to buy the bit canary saphire erupterJust found out they're out of stock, and pay back 0.42 as soon as its mined? Would it be too long? Plus I only have 0.0008356BTC for a collateral  :-\, that wouldn't quite be enough would it? Just wondering!

Generally, if you want a loan for 0.42, you would need to provide at least 0.5btc of something in collateral.

That's like asking if you could give me $100 and I'll pay you a few pennies.

Bitcoin doesn't really count as collateral unless you was asking for something like a Litecoin loan but even there you have pretty much zero Bitcoin. Also your USB Miner will never ROI so it would be impossible to pay back.

Haha, I will offer loans like that all day everyday.


Offering 1 BTC loans, only have to send 1.2 BTC collateral.

One of the things people miss all the time is this:

If your investment fails, how will you pay back the lender?

Because if you have no fallback plan, it's less risky for the lender to make the same investment himself.

Would infinity be too long? Because unless difficulty stops rising the way its doing, against all expectations, a USB Block Erupter isn't going to mine 0.5 BTC over its lifetime.

Yeah right. Most of the loans in here cover amounts that should take a day or two of working at minimum wage to obtain, which is less time than BTC -> USD -> BTC takes.
