Bitcoin Forum

Looking for a lender willing to go out on a limb for me with a loan to help kick-start my credibility on the forum!


I'm looking for either:

10 BTC loan to be repaid after 2 weeks

-OR-

60 BTC loan to be repaid after 1 month


You tell me the interest % you need to give me a chance to build my credibility.. (I gotta start somewhere!)

I really don't mind paying a heavy ticket for the large(r) loan, I would honestly be okay with whatever fee you assess. (within reason)

But please don't rape me on the smaller loan, I just hate the waiting period on Dwolla -_-

-never2sleep

I'll give you a 10 BTC loan with a 1% interest rate, so after the two week period you will send back 10.1 BTC on 5/3/12. If this sounds good to you leave a response and we'll work out the details.

Beautiful! Ten bucks says this will be "successful", and he will start borrowing more and more until he defaults.

how else do you build CONfidence?

Something I have found to establish confidence is to show that you're actually doing something productive with your loans. Loans to buy consumer goods to float you between paychecks aren't in the same caliber as loans to purchase mining equipment. Perhaps it'll help your case to mention your plans for the loan and provide some supporting information if this is a mining venture.


It's a shame that is the attitude within this sub-forum. Can't blame you guys though.

Sounds good Vorksholk, I appreciate it!

I will probably be able to send you extra on top of that. :) (I'll PM you the address)

*ignores hate post*

don't be a negatron be an optimist prime!

Holy shit, dude.  Can you be any more obvious?

oh and Terry I'll take you up on that $10 bet!

if I don't get it done in 14 days I'll send you 2 BTC after I pay Vorschark back, if I get it done in less than that you owe me 2 btc :)

No balls!

Seeing these threads makes me wanna puke.

1. Borrow 1 BTC, payback
2. Borrow 5 BTC, payback
3. Guys, I need all 21,000,000 BTC to pay my car bill or something! Please, lend to me! I have past loans that I did just      so I can run off with your money.

I would not do one of these bullshit loans without seeing photo id, and a verified address.
(So I can come dismantle your house nail by nail while you sleep if you didn't pay up.)

woosh...

I'm surprised how much negative attention this thread has gotten. He is just building rep... I understand it is risky, but oh well.

Anyhow, 10 BTC sent to the address you PM'd me, you can see that here: http://blockchain.info/address/1CBMQ72AMXPPLRsZEiFkJUPM3xuD6fSk9Q :)


@PatrickHarnett: Just curious, what are you getting at with your post about our registration dates? Just curious.

@Tomatocage: Just wanted to make sure everything was clarified and set-in-stone, no room for confusion when I was very specific, lol.

inb4 OP "successfully" returns the loan and then asks for a loan from someone else using this as a reference.

Watching, and making notes.  

Soooo much criticism!

I find it all rather unnecessary, until I prove myself otherwise..!

Feel free to take as many notes as you'd like Patrick.

Thanks.  It's useful, especially as you aim to be able to borrow in the future, and as a lender, I may provide you with that loan.  I have done many loans to relatively new users, and some were simple scammers, and others have turned into good customers.  At this stage, I don't have an opinion one way or the other.

As for critisims, yes, some members derive their entertainment from spotting the next potential scammer, bad loan or dubious newbie.  That comes with the forum, and isn't likely to go away any time soon.  Sometimes it really pisses people off and other times users simply disappear. 

1 BTC says that never2sleep and Vorksholk are 1 and the same...

Lmao everyone please keep talking out of your ass!

I'll take you up on that bet.

Psy... we are not one and the same. Not sure how to prove it to you, but I joined this forum when I saw the topic for Coinworker.com (awesome service, BTW.) and eventually purchased one month from bitservers.co.uk. First time I've seen never2sleep in my life is today, and figured I'd join in on the lending bandwagon, see what it's all about and get someone's rep up a bit.

So now you can prove a negative... interesting. People in these forums never cease to amaze me :o

btw Vorksholk, it's psy, not Psy. If I wanted a capital I would've used it ;)

Yeah I don't know exactly how I would go about proving we are different people... but hey you said you wanted to bet bring it on!

I did mention the entertainment aspect of the lending section?

And, while I initially didn't appreciate psy in some other parts of the forum (SC and BTC-xpress), I eventually worked out what was going on as psy's posts are of good quality.

If I said "a little birdie says that never2sleep and Vorksholk are 1 and the same..." would you also think I wanted to bet a little birdie with you?
Get real dude!
Besides we are on a forum about Bitcoins not about Birdies, so, here BTC talks. lol

So, anyhoo... Just going to link this stickied thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75742.0

<off-topic> Not trolling psy.  Anyway, my daughter says I suck at trolling. </off-topic>

Back on topic, there is quite a lot of information in the post history to suggest different people (I skimmed it a few hours ago), and like many people new to the lending pages, small loans are a good way to start on both sides.

Yeah, I'm planning to moving over to investing in hashking's deposits perhaps once I build my rep up just a tiny bit. Anyone here had any direct experience with hashking's deposit service? Looks pretty credible due to what I've seen so far.

I don't think you need to build up your rep to deposit on hashkings'.
To take a loan from him, yeah, you might need some more rep :)
But hey, don't let the lack of rep set you back.
Look at me, one of the most ignored guys in this forum, so my rep is not the greatest: I was one of the first guys who hashking lended bitcoins to  :P

Now that I think of it, shit, I must be on more users ignore list than MNW... :o

Given the stickies in this section, the info in this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76594.0), and the regular contact I have with several others, I think my recommendation would be conflicted.

However, Hashking completed a decent sized loan with me (he repaid in full and on time back on 29th March), and he's putting in some decent work into the deposit side of his business.

So should I wait to pay "myself" back now or wait 'til the end of the 2 week period?

I understand you guys (as a forum) probably get scammed quite often, with bitcoin being analogous to cash/anonymity and all that jazz...

I already have a minor mining operation setup, but this loan was for an unrelated matter. (Who cares the actual reason, since that could be MADE UP anyway as long as I pay you back?)

Thanks for the vote of confidence Vorksholk, but it appears to me that since we are both new to the forum and don't have any credibility built-up we must ACTUALLY be the same person and only interested in scamming people..

Smh, and I thought I had no faith in humanity..

Could it have occurred to anyone that we might represent a new generation of bitcoin users? An influx of new members is supposed to be a good thing for bitcoin, and the only way the project will actually ever get anywhere..

Is it possible for someone to lookup our IP's or something to prove we are different people?

And I'm sorry I'm not going to provide my fucking address or ID for a 10 BTC loan.

The only reason I got into bitcoin in the FIRST place was for the anonymous/decentralized aspect... But if I can establish rep under a specific handle, that's just as good as an identity!

w/e, just my .02c on the matter. I'm actually just really annoyed over all of this criticism when the system actually worked exactly as intended!

Well, as in life there are people who will be mean for no special reason, and others who will be nice for no special reason. 

btw - the place is a lot friendlier now than six months ago

QFT

grumble grumble - psy you're making me look up urban dictionary - stupid tla

Quoted For Truth

Bitcoin loan repaid far before due date, and with an extra +4% to interest rate!

Not sure if this is common convention, but need2sleep: you may want to post the blockchain.info transaction, not sure if this is something people regularly do, I'm very new to this.

You guys are just making it obvious now.

This is a joke right?  This is the most pathetic thread on the internet today.

I  threw the guy 10.5 BTC instead of the 10.1 he asked for.

He did me a favor, it worked out nice.

I'm going to go back to playing some DotA now because nobody else is saying anything worthwhile in this post, but I'll post the blockchain info later if anyone is interested.

@bo2573: why is that?

OMG never2sleep A+++ borrower! Will not hesitate to loan to him in the future!!!

It's okay tomato, Vorksholk believes me at least. So I gained credibility with one person.

That's one more than I had before I made this post.

Maged, IP logs please!

I agree Maged, please show these fools the truth!

AFAIK, Maged doesn't snoop around on a whim.

n2s has credibility with a lender. Great. Most of us wouldn't touch this with a 10ft pole. Fine. Let it be, come back with the rolleyes emoticons if another loan's publicly requested (instead of going to a lender who apparently trusts him).

He did for Amytron/Bluecorp/Realblue.  He just doesn't release ip info on a whim though.

Nuff said? BTW it isn't the first time when last active was few minutes apart.

Personally, I would think either a proxy/spare line were used so IP's woudn't show anything conclusive. Heck, it could even be two friends collaborating for a bigger heist.

LOLOLOLOLOL

There is no pleasing any of you.

Nah, don't please us. I'm here only for the lulz  ::)

Ditto ;)

Thankfully you all have been providing me lulz free of charge with your statements of FUD ! :)

Feels bad to get caught right?

Now either go on the straight and narrow or divise a more advance plan of free bitcoin domination.

 :D ;D ;) :)

Too bad you only think you have caught me... when in reality it's the other way around!

Or so you say...

Now do explain: why should we believe you now when we didn't before?

Guys, here is some food for thought. I have a fairly large online presence between all the sites I've used the same username (Vorksholk) on, just google "Vorksholk" or here is a google link (which goes to page 19 auto): https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1ASUM_enUS477US477&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Vorksholk#q=Vorksholk&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1C1ASUM_enUS477US477&prmd=imvns&ei=1kqST7-hN8aeiAKCyKgJ&start=180&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=11e991441f3e1091 .

Look up never2sleep, it is very different. We had registration dates similar, and similar numbers of posts, and I lent bitcoins to him and was payed back a lot faster than I anticipated, not solid evidence we are the same people, although I can see where you are coming from. I'm not just lending to this guy and leaving, I'm going to lend to others and probably invest in hashking's deposit. I'm surprised on all the negative attention I've received here with lending someone with a similar number of posts and a similar join date some bitcoins.

What kind of proof are you guys looking for to prove we are not the same people anyhow? Are you looking for something like ID, etc. because IP address/geolocation/information on profile/posting history doesn't seem to be good enough (which I can totally understand). At any rate, what kind of evidence are you guys truly looking for here? Being that bitcoin is based around the ability to be anonymous, it's pretty hard to track anything like an address I understand, so transaction records are practically worthless.

If you guys want some more information about who I am, I am Vorksholk and I run a minecraft server (server.omicroncrew.com) participate in a YouTube channel (omicroncrew) and more with this same username. No one named never2sleep has any correlation to any of those. Food for thought, I suppose.

Nobody wants any proof. Read the link Kluge posted and you'll understand what's this all about.
If you already read it and still can't understand, oh well, I can only feel sorry for you ;)

So post the Blockexplorer address.

Because bouncing bitcoins to and from oneself is that difficult.

...if it even took place to begin with.

He would, if he was a scammer with a brain. It's not that difficult anyway.

Right, but the question is did he actually do anything with the coins, or just ping pong it back to the sender?  If the former, it might be legit.  If the latter, it pretty much seals the deal that the two accounts are most likely the same guy trying to build bogus rep.

You got a point there. Most scammers don't think so much anyway lol.

Hey never2sleep, how's your new-found rep working out for you?  I noticed you and Vork went dark went dark two days ago and logged off today at nearly the same time... again ;D

@Tomatocage: I honestly just got tired of this thread and didn't find much else of interest on the forums in the lending section. BTW, is a 7970 worth it for mining, or would I be better getting something like say a 5850?

It looks like your friend did the same, at practically the exact same time. Oh well, that's luck for you, huh?!

Tired of you trolls, sorry I actually have a life.

I will post again when I have something to say that is relevant to the forum.

I'll see 'ya around!

LAWL fail!!!!!!!!!

?? It was just a note - they are not the same - and it doesn't necessarily mean anything.  Hence, your comment doesn't make much sense.

Revive an old thread just to troll, classy.  8)
