I personally see a need for two lending forums - a proper one that is reasonable clean for actual business, and a second one for discussion and other crap that turns up.  I can see a simple situation (two board system) where people post by default into the main board, but threads are moved to the sub board when they are so far off topic they are irrelevant, are simply discussions, obviously not real business, or unfounded (and ponzi talk is included in that irrelevant of which side you think you're on).

The main board would also hold history of previous completed deals and failed details (like John's current list).

Nothing in this stops people from sending pm's directly of lenders making offers.  Also, with the large amount of shit that has been thrown the last few weeks, the forum is at serious risk of business leaving (including my own - I do actually have a web site to shift to).

ok - so no "hide the pineapple" pictures.

If the BTC LOC paid 1% I'd be more interested.  Otherwise watching.

Is this actually a serious request?

I did my bit to move the price last week, and a buyback appears the only sensible option.

However, on top of that, the dividend (what ever it is) still needs to be paid.

Sounds like a motion to wind-up/buyback is in order.

lol - GFC Mk7 in the making (and again from one of the least solvent of counties in the USA).  Didn't the US learn anything from cheap credit (i.e. you have to pay it back)  Learn to live on the cash you have before borrowing.

In other news, I noticed PokerStars has been more sucessful than the entire Bitcoin economy with their ponzi - even after paying back 30% of their clients funds and $547M to the US government those not in jail walk away with millions.

The deal will end the saga of Full Tilt Poker, a company built by Ray Bitar with the help of poker champions like Chris “Jesus” Ferguson and Howard Lederer that Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, has repeatedly said was a Ponzi scheme. But Bharara’s crackdown on the online poker industry continues, including against Isai Scheinberg, the founder of PokerStars, who has been indicted by Bharara for operating an illegal gambling business. Bitar, who recently returned to the U.S. from Ireland to face the criminal charges Bharara has filed against him, pleaded not guilty and is currently out on bail. Scheinberg is believed to be in the Isle of Man.

I would like to apologise for a hiccup in payment of the PPT.DIV dividends this week.  There was a miscommunication between myself and Burt resulting in a late payment.  Sorry.

Without wanting to detract or trying to correct anything else from the other posts, could you please update the OP for PPT.x.  Burt is no longer an owner after I purchased the core shares of the five founders last week.  It continues as a ring-fenced operation separate from my personal and Starfish BCB business.

Just for the record (seeing the usual misguided post from Micon above) - I redeemed 1500 coins of investments with Imsaguy a short time ago.  Also note, that availability has not increased since.

Just as an observation - it strike me that there are people that have obtained consumer credit rather than business credit without appreciating the difference.  I have run several SME businesses, and one moderately large enterprise (circa $50M turnover).  Banks (bless them) typically want more collateral than the business have.  To get a loan, I would expect them to have to sign over their houses as personal guarantees.  To give two examples:

a) Sought a $40k business loan to cover some timing differences in forward payments.  Refused despite having a $50k deposit with the bank.
b) Sought an overdraft facility during growth phase.  Debtors were increasing around $2M/month and the business was at break-even with strong cash-flow.  Refused despite obtaining a $5M guarantee from a major shareholder.

Why do people pay more - because they have few options.  That is why returns are expected to be between 30% and 50% per year. (btw, the business above managed that for its investors turning $10M into $40M+ in around four years)

Maybe I can butcher the language betterer: I has borrowed 15 coins to them.

i.e. confirming the above loan has taken place.

I will be mostly off-line/limited contact for the next 24-36 hours as I have an errand to run out of town.

Confirming the return of ShadowAlexey's reserve deposit.

A few more modifications, it'll get there (I use spreadsheets to build mine). 

Note that the "Wezzy" line can drop the "Australia" reference - He lurks on a BlackHat forum under that name.
You can add godchronic if you like - they're still dodging requests.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90788.0

wanted - repayment of loan by OP

As an observation, dark red on black background ( on your web site ) is unreadable.

Are you suggesting this thread - I'll kick off with a few:

PunkAs - 10
SirChiko - 12
DoubleIcarus - 101
Kais3r  - 4.9
Gurg2.0/KuJoking7 - 28 + 60
Tom Litten - 24
Wezzy in Australia is a weasel - 100
Tesla13 - 10
Milkman39 - 70

If you got a loan, it would be 10% per month or higher.  Almost any other source will be cheaper.

You typically have to prove who you are, and how you will repay.  Along the way people are likely to call you names and assume because you are requesting a BTC loan, you are here to steal from the community (why, see the first line above).  Welcome to "lending".

I know you run the payouts on the same day (that's pretty common), was curious why deposits would be treated that way as well.

I'm glad you managed to pull the 1.4.  Also, I wasn't able to get to Vegas.

Thanks Burt for pulling the trigger on the auction - the assets should get transferred to my account this coming week, I understand it's a manual process Nef needs to attend to.
