EclipseMC is hop-proof and operates on purely optional fees. Inaba's a pretty decent fellow, too, and quickly solves problems. There's p2pool, but I haven't tested it enough to know how payout compares.

Giving us your BTC Guild API key would allow us to be sure you're mining there at the speed you claim, making the loan seem pretty safe. AFAIK (and asked other lenders), there's no risk to you in sharing that outside of us being able to snoop.

ETA: Damn. BW jumped on this first.

Is your pool able to provide some type of verification that you are mining within a reasonable expected rate for those cards? (graphs showing MH/s over time, which is available for us to view would be great!)

Came back to this. The Ebay relevancy questions aren't too bad. ... But now I'm stumped on deciding whether or not a Vintage Gay Beefcake Magazine is an exact match for "gay"?

Could it be avatars? It appears the forum software does not host them locally (unless it was uploaded from PC, not URL), but simply redirects to the original site hosting the image.

Experiencing something similar. "Some resources" are not secure when in a topic. I'm guessing it's an irrelevant alert, but would be nice to know.

You heard it here first! Price reduced by $5k USD (now under $110k).

Credit card rates are relatively low (often free [less merchant fees] if you pay it off before the end of the month). One-month rate on a Payday can be upwards of 200% equivalent-APR. Car title loans can be even more expensive. Credit cards for those without fantastic credit history tend to have low max limits. Bitcoin loans are fairly competitive with the market.

Surprising amount of sudden interest in this, so... bump. 

(Updated examples in OP to reflect new, higher rates, updated OP text to reflect current stats, and changed thread title to reflect higher rate)

Seems like a good time to advertise WGSE

1BTC, imsaguy for escrow.

I've met Nick. I do not believe I would have trouble sitting on him until he repays, which he can do with his cell-phone, so as long as his arms/hands/fingers are not immobilized by my immense girth, we would even be able to wait for a confirmation.

If it becomes a big enough hassle, people will stop waiting for confirmations. Once that convenience problem turns into a security problem, the devs will probably start thinking hard about fixes.

Bump.

Specifically, I'm looking at Mantis, but I'm unfamiliar with the other software. Would appreciate recommendations. In short, for now, I want to be able to assign family members to do chores for Bitcoins without inefficient issuance of tasks. In the future, this may be applied elsewhere if it works as I'd like.

What I'd like to be able to do:
*Assign user groups (general workers, few different categories for specialized workers, managers, admin)
*Have editable category-categories. As in, I want to assign tasks a priority, type of work it is, date/time issued, number of workers required for the task, expiration date/time, user groups eligible to complete the work (and subject to penalty if not completed on time), and the bounty for completion of work
*Create color-coded (by task category, not priority) tasks which are relayed on a website page
*Allow workers to "accept" a task, which is displayed to others so multiple people aren't working on the same thing when unnecessary
*Push new tasks out to workers via email if equal to or above a certain priority
*Alert workers if required # of workers have accepted a task
*Set expiration/due-by dates
*Allow workers to claim a task has been completed, then assign the task a new progress category ("Claimed Completed")
*Allow multiple workers to claim completion of the task
*Workers need to be allowed to comment on work

It's also be nice if it could::
*Allow workers who collaborated on the completion of a task to mark a % they contributed, which is then confirmed by other workers. Workers should also be able to mark a % of work others did, but it needs to be verified by all workers and the manager. As well, it'd be nice if the bt could automatically split the bounty among workers by the % of the task they completed.
*Be extremely easy to use
*Not cost me a dime
*Maintain a db which keeps track of the bounty balance of workers


In a perfect world, it should also be able to:
*Interface with Bitcoin and award bounties automatically after a manager or admin approves the quality of the work
*Penalize all workers who are able to complete a task if that task passes the expiration time by creating a negative balance which must be overcome with successful work

That and make it more aware you have availability over Skype. I always end up going through INAU because I know I'll be able to push a deposit out to him for arb within the tight time constraints I have to make a 30D loan off a 32D deposit.

Keep away. He's asked others. When denied, claimed "it's just .1BTC"

It's unreasonable to expect a loan without either 1) long, consistent reputation on this forum 2) a well-explained, viable idea you want to implement which will allow you to repay the loan, or 3) lots of information on you in meatspace (pay stubs, gov't ID, utility bill, security might be required) which shows you have income to repay the loan. Miners can also receive payday loans, and the app to handle that semi-automatically and very efficiently is nearing completion.

If you have #1, there is usually no need for #2 or #3 (though having #2 certainly helps). Without #1, you'll need both #2 & #3, and even then it may prove tough to secure a loan.

You're assuming "they" and "we" are not the same. May be a false assumption.

Same thing.

Hm. Happens on other p2pools, too. I'll go to sleep, see if there're updates to the software and report after I wake up and get around to doing stuff. Thanks again for the service!
