Instead of making a beeline to the Lending section right after you break out of Newbie status, like every cookie-cutter scammer does, why don't you head over to one of the technical discussion forums and learn a little more about how Bitcoin works before risking your money (or worse, someone else's)?
I had no idea that the method you described is used by scammers. If that's what it takes to prove that I'm not a scammer ,then so be it. I just figured that a smallish loan would be low risk for everyone and me to help establish credibility.I don't know about the shoe thing (as I'm rather new here), I plan to pay off my debt by selling things to pay that off.
