Can you clarify for the rest of the world that uses proper dates - 3 may or 5 mar.  (sorry, being picky - one of those is my birthday, and it's not march)

Watching - yes, we have done a loan to malavita with no problem recently.  I have done a second loan today for a longer term/larger amount/better rates.

Hashking needs to start somewhere, and there is no particular issue with his approach or rates - it takes time to establish a loan book and work out who is good for repayments or not. (in fact, I would encourage them as it is forefront of the BTC economy for early 2012, but it still sucks big time to have a bad loan)

Loan repayment confirmed.  Thanks for making this an easy loan - better rates for next time.

Thanks - funded.

bump - pm'd yesterday

Try running a few boxes at their sweet spot and you'll learn about hardware as a consumable.  PSUs, hard disks and other drives drop out frequently.  I almost did a HD today (dropped it while running, but salvaged it via another box), burned/flame-out on a DVD drive and two HDs this week.  Even had a mouse that decided it didn't want to work, so out it goes with a doubious keyboard.  I've been lucky with GPUs, and haven't dropped one for a month or two, but I have replaces a fan or two.  Last week it was some ram/hd/graphis card.  Reinstalling a RMA gpu and mobo with stuff lying around and updates. Waiting on some kvm cables to load balance some circuits (pulling 2400 watts through a circuit tips sometimes due to the +/-5%). blah etc blah.  I only have about 6Ghash so nothing large, but I spend time keeping things ticking along.

You would be surprised how a minimal install machine can throw problems.  One I have that runs weeks on end, another resets for no reason at random times.  Some just freeze and need a kick.  First thing in the morning, check what's running and what stopped.

Roll on winter, then I can run another box or two.

Lol
I was thinking of a banana rather than a shoe, but the fruit reference is something different (and not Time Bandits - also probably obscure).  Don't worry, watching in any case.

(Being sensible) I'm guessing you have a penalty interest at month end or something similar.  However, in the interest of openness it wouldn't hurt to explain who this non-loan shark entity is and what the deal is.

(But for now, I need to sleep off some wine and get up early for a semi-competitive run tomorrow (stupid event) - much easier being lazy.  So I'll check back again tomorrow.

I too have some hope for humanity, but I leave most of the charity stuff to my wife because she is nicer than I am.  Sucks that your first loan went bad, but then that's the nature of the forum and the lending "game".  My preference is to help some, not get ripped by to many and earn some decent interest off others to fund the first and cover some of the second.  That's not an invitation to pick on my good-will, and I am known as "Mr Hold-a-grudge" to some.  (Ask my dead mother in law about that if you don't believe me.)

oh, I would have appreciated it.  I was thinking of a random piece of fruit, but there is a subtle difference between a pineapple and a punnet of raspberries.  Beware the pointed stick (and if you understand the reference, I might fund some of this).

Funded.

2nd instalment received - all good.  Thanks bitlane.

I suspect betting on loan default might provide some people with an advantage. 

Referring to some of the above comments:
 - yes they are new and never claimed knowledge of rexcoin - Matthew and Psy appear to have missed the mark with their responses.
 - it is possible to convert coins to cash fairly quickly, but it wasn't claimed that he actually did.  Maybe they went to the store with a credit card.
 - I still find it "interesting" that people are always looking for the bad in every deal that occurs, often when working with a very small amount of information.

I don't mind being called impaired, it goes with the "retarded" comment I've received elsewhere.

What I think is it is odd that we're being asked an opinion of a forum member that has not posted in the last six months.  I think I'd like to know why my (and others) are being polled for their opinion.

Thanks.

I had 60 coins sitting in a wallet I could have sent quickly (and pull in the rest from elsewhere), but wanted to see who else wanted to jump into the lending frame.  Nice to see znort provide the coin.

?? So, the profile show he last posted in August 2011.  Why is this here six months later?

To add to the comment, it helps if both sides can agree/discuss issues sensibly.  I would not wish to borrow from someone that changes their mind, is annoying, or excessively demanding.

As an example, I did a loan with Electricbees a while ago - He was good and let me know what was happening when he was scammed, and I gave away the interest payment.  In a similar vein, I was contacted this morning by someone who asked for an extension in time that we reached agreement on. 

We could send something, but Goons might be welcome - they were very funny and popular in England and other parts of the Commonwealth.  How about the Knights who say Ni?

I have received the repayment so that end of it is all fine.  I haven't funded the 100 yet as I'd like to get funds back from DoubleIcarus first.

@payb.tc - No problem.  Happy to watch from the sidelines.

I assume you want to start lending coins for income - got to start somewhere.  I could loan you 5 coins for a 5.5 payback, but that would take half your capital.  There are a few deposit takers around (including myself) and it's a case of looking for what suits.
