Trust is deregulated and unmoderated.  Deal with those who've left the feedback.



Examples, please.



A few?  Lol, once those "few" were exposed as scams, how did you react?  With the community's best interest in mind, or you wallet's?

That's a about as dirty as a scammer can get.  If he's selling it, and then taking a loan to abandon, he's getting paid twice for the same account.

Putting a monetary value on accounts seems very difficult to me.  It's not something I apply to my evaluations when deciding whether to fund a loan or not.  Instead, I try to evaluate how much the user values his account.  I hope it's a practical strategy, only time will tell.

Lolz.  You've only earned 34 merit, you were airdropped 250.  Bitcoin_Arena was airdropped only 10 merit, and has earned nearly 3 x as many merit as you have. 



That's a good attitude to have.  Admin may take it easy on you, best of luck.

Wow, that would be a dirty trick.  Good thing most scammers aren't that clever, but maybe a few have figured it out.

Here's a situation where a hero account was recently recovered and had the "manual recovery" tag applied in the sec-log.
 Subsequently, the user skipped out on a $80 loan.  So, yeah I wouldn't take that as a sure thing the account holder is trustworthy...

You talkin' to me?

Collateral must be an altcoin traded on Binance, and it must be worth a minimum of 0.132 BTC.

I'm sorry, you do not meet my requirements to qualify for an unsecured loan.  Request denied.

@sumangs, we need more information.  Which exchange is asking for a deposit to allow a withdrawal?  How did the bitcoin get into your exchange account?  Is it a trade from fiat that requires a holding period?

In all honesty this sounds rather scammy to me, but I'm curious for answers to my questions. 

Hi cabalism13,
Thanks for the request.  It has been approved and funded.

Salam Alaykum and welcome aboard.  

I've added your information to the list of Bitcointalk lenders.  If I've made any errors, or you would prefer to not be listed, let me know.

This is a humorous turn of events:  Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened a decloration of war against Canada, and even threatened to dump all their abandoned trash on Canada's beaches.

Duterte's beef with the Canucks stems from over 100 Canadian shipping containers that have been sitting in a Manila dock for almost 6 years.  The containers were labeled as containing recyclable materials, but in fact they're literally full of shit.

And this is exactly why I would never lend to you.  Your track record of being late to repay, you've been deceitful, and top it off with healthy amount of conceit despite all your shortcomings.

jackg gave you a very generous gift, and you even alluded to "paying it forward."  Had that actually happened I may have considered revising the trust rating I left you.  But here you are, feeling the waters to see if it's safe to ask for another hand out?

Dude, go accomplish something; earn a buck the traditional, honest way; develop some pride in yourself.  This isn't going to go the way you hope.  

A lot of the Republicans were (are still) appalled by Trumps nomination, because Trump isn't a true Republican (my opinion.)  He's definitely conservative, but he doesn't toe The Party line.  We're now seeing the light shine on the corruption of the Democrats, but the swamp is just as full of corrupt Republicans.  Those ingrained Washington insiders are scared shitless right now, as they should be.  They need to be constantly scared.  The more scared they are the better off America will be.

It's funny you mentioned the division in the Republican party during Obama's term, we're seeing a similar phenomenon with real Democrats and the Democratic Socialists.  They are dividing themselves and that's going to be their downfall in 2020.  Just like the Republicans shot themselves in the foot in 2012.

For that amount of loot, I would insist on the safest possible way of transferring it into bitcoin.  The safest way is through a reputable exchange.  A reputable exchange will require KYC.  Reputable exchanges require KYC for their own, and their customers' safety.

I think you already know all this, but are hoping to find a safe, yet anonymous way of transferring that dough.  I don't think one exists.  So now you have a choice:  Safety vs. Anonymity.  Some folks can afford to risk $100K, others of us can't.

Best of luck.

Nice!  I'm glad we were able to help.  Can you share with us what you did to fix your issue?

This is the long-term lending section, your request is for 3-weeks which is not long-term.  This thread should be in the standard Lending board.

And just so I understand, you are offering 250k LAX coins, supposedly worth $0.035 each ($8750 total) for 0.51 BTC ($2650) loan?  And then the lender gets to keep the keep the LAX coin after you pay the loan back?  

Who would give away $8750?  And if that person could afford to give away so much money, why is he here trying to borrow $2650?

I think I know what's really going on:  You know this coin is worthless, it's likely to remain worthless after its IEO, and you're hoping to find a sucker to give you 0.51 BTC for a pile of worthless shitcoins.

You already indicated how little you care to keep the coins by offering to gift them to the lender who fills your loan, and by proclaiming your intention to sell:


This is a pretty obvious attempt to scam someone.

LAX coin does not meet the criteria for collateral since it has no value, and you don't qualify for an unsecured loan.

Maybe they cashed out ATH, and are sipping piña coladas in the Bahamas.  One would hope that's the case, anyway.

It's also fascinating how many services popped up in the last two months alone.
