I could perhaps give the volume, but we'd have to severely reduce rates (to around BTCBOND level) if people want and we display exact information about every loan.

The current rate works because we accept secured loans with interest slightly higher than this, because it's better than having the coins sitting there doing nothing, but the bulk of the profit for me comes from secured loans at much higher APRs. Quite frankly, I would not have the justification to spend the amount of time on CoinLenders if I am making a couple % a year off your deposits, instead of what the spread for me is now.

eg, do you have more people seeking loans than funds at the moment?

At the moment, no, but lending out coins isn't that consistent. Sometimes we get very large 3 (and even 4) digit secured loan requests.

How about this Bitcoin lending thing that is running now?  They ask for Bitcoins and they pretend to run a bank yet they don't even give a street address and they hide their identity with whois privacy.  Who in their right minds would accept an ad for financial services under those conditions?
What is ASICMINER's street address? Does friedcat even have a domain? People do know who I am / where I live, FYI.

Investments in bitcoin are quite different from investments in fiat. I'm not aware of any securities offerings on this forum that are registered and approved by the SEC or other similar regulatory offering.

The risk is really trusting me. There's few ways that this can go bad when more BTC are lent out fully secured, with options bought on the collateral so even if the underlying asset drops it doesn't affect anything.

Might happen by accident, you never know Tongue

Currently, if theymos loses control of his 3k coins for whatever reason, the forum is out of ~half it's funds. Obviously this is a lot better than the situation a few months ago, but ideally the forum should not be holding this much funds in reserve.

Seeing as how the forum does not seem to be making use of the money, it might be a better idea to send it to /dev/null and make everyone holding Bitcoin richer.

Oh wow, you finally removed MtGox's logo from your homepage! Good job Cheesy

So while you guys have been speculating on ASICMINER share price, I've actually sold some of my ASICMINER PT shares at 2.899 BTC Smiley

btcinvest if you want to just make profit.

Yep, it's a pretty good point, which is why I have requested deletion of my ad.

3291  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] Deprived Mining Speculation (DMS) on: June 17, 2013, 06:24:10 AM
What I don't get is that DMS MINING pays a dividend of roughly .5 percent, per day. As listed above, this should be about 180 percent return per year. Shouldn't this thing be going through the roof?

We need to develop reliable P/E ratios for all of these securities to have another common denominator.

The dividend is going to keep going down over time as the network difficulty increases.

Pretty competitive price, but I still wouldn't invest at this price through.

Oh, and it is not my terms, that's BitFunder's terms.

I'm pretty sure a hostile image cannot inject JS to the page (for modern browsers of course). However, if you already know my IP, you can know when I read a post / etc.

Just buy a security certificate for your domain, that costs $9 and takes literally 10 minutes before you get a cert in email.

Proxy the image.

Total time taken:

15 minutes
Cost: $9
3295  Other / Off-topic / Re: Know any good free hosting? on: June 16, 2013, 12:05:49 PM
Go with APIs. Trust me, they are the best hosting support that I've ever dealt with. Fast responses, you actually talk to someone who can do things (for example, I needed the latest version of PHP and Apis migrated me to another server).
3296  Other / Meta / Re: Are the mods getting paid from this forum? on: June 16, 2013, 11:36:58 AM
We all have our own views on what is right and wrong, etc..

This this this. Frequently there are situations where you will have to annoy / piss off either group A or group B. BFL ads is a good one - ban BFL ads, 'censorship'. Don't ban BFL ads, support 'scams'.
3297  Other / Meta / Re: "Important announcements"?! on: June 16, 2013, 11:33:29 AM
I raised payouts by ~5x, and it's out of 'beta'.

It's as "important" as "Block Erupter USB | Group Buy Newsletter".

Congrats, MysteryMiner is laughing at you guys now.

Please do not raise the max block size. It hurts projects I am working on.

Truer words were never spoken.

Look on the bright side: at least you've not started Kludge bank or Ian Bakewell financial operations.

Twist: bitzox is Obsi.
