hmm
I totally agree. Unless I already know someone I always look up the posts of a person I am going to lend money to in order to "get to know them" before I do it. In this case the money had already been lent before I was able to look them up but here is what I see: Aug 29, 2011 - probable valid post from this user Jan 14, 2012 - their Mt. Gox account was hit by a phishing scam - they probably used the same password here Jan 25, 2012 - the "new owner" of the account asks for and gets a loan here Nothing since. I expect the new owner has changed the password, email, etc. and the previous owner may not even know what is going on. |

Can you post an accounting of everyone that has loaned to you (amount, payback, address, date, etc.) and how much more you need? I am too busy to read the entire thread and figure it out right now. I might lend you the rest of what you need or some of it anyway.

I'll lend you 20 BTC with the following repayments 10.3 BTC on 1st of Feb
11.9 BTC on 29th of Feb
Peter, TY Peter, Agreed! BTC Address: 181TQJfi6aJGQr1p9bjTafmTSkoYBtzYvu (Due to the fact my wallet takes too long to load up - waiting 10 minutes already - usally takes 30 - i need a new pc...) Thanks again for the loan! ptd - you lent him 20 BTC and sent it directly to his gambling account? rexcoin – Ask any recovering addict and they will all tell you that addicts must totally quit their addiction they cannot control it, that is why it is called an addiction. Ask any addict in the throws of their addiction and every single one of them will tell you that 1) they are not addicted and 2) even if they are they are the one in a billion that can control it. |

senbonzakura @ with 303 posts couldn't killer2021 have applied for a zero % loan for this small of an amount from you instead of the >1 BTC per day loan that was done?

It would be trivial to make a utility that takes a wallet.dat and spits out all the private keys in printable form, directly to the printer perhaps. In a roundabout way, I have already made one, that I use when I recover people's corrupted wallets.
This simple utility looks for the byte sequence "04 20" inside wallet.dat, and treats the next 32 bytes as a Bitcoin private key. While this will sometimes catch byte sequences that aren't really private keys, the side effects are minimal - just an extra bloat of a few phantom private keys that have no value. The amount of C code needed to do this would literally fit on one average sized screen. The only caveat is that the wallet must not be encrypted.
Those 32 key bytes can be printed out verbatim (hexadecimal), or converted into Sipa wallet import format along with a QR code for easy printing and import. The average wallet will have lots of them, and also there will be duplicates that should be removed if they are extracted using this method. But otherwise it would definitely work.
pywallet does exactly this ^ does it not? You can browse your wallet import/export private keys etc. |

He was warned that this is not the best idea in post #2 on this thread. He decided to trust deepceleron and that is his informed choice.
deepceleron: BTW I have been toying with ideas on how to create a secure system of "distributed vanity address mining" on various other threads. I was just about to do it when Gavin brought up the point that BIP 16 will make vanity address generation and my distributed vanity address generation idea easier and less computationally intensive. If BIP 16 passes then we should be able to make much longer vanity addresses for the new addresses that start with 3.
You seem to do a lot of address generation. Would you be interested in joining a vanity address generating pool (for pay) - if such a thing was to be created?

I think you can work this out. Pay everyone off as fast as you can. Make payments whenever you can and keep track of everything. Remain honest and stop gambling Here is your starting point (from what I can gather, everyone let me know if you see any mistakes). Looks like you may need to talk to Patrick about an extension. If he is unwilling/unable to do that then come back and let's talk again. Good luck! Who is owed Total amount owed Due Date Repayment address

Waiting a bit to hear from ptd.
ptd? Do you want to loan out 7 BTC to rexcoin? Let us know.

Wouldn't it be as simple as buying low and selling high while maintaining a constant dollar amount, instead of a constant BTC amount? Simplified/Exaggerated example:
Exchange 1: Can buy BTC at $5.00/BTC
Exchange 2: Can sell BTC at $6.00/BTC
Spend $120 at exchange 1 and get 120/5 = 24 BTC
Sell 20 BTC on exchange 2 and get back your 20*6 = $120
You now have exactly the same amount of $ as when you started but you have an extra 4 BTC
Split the 4 BTC between all the investors proportionally to their investment
Rebalance $ between the various exchanges as needed
Repeat

I think a bigger problem is the possible "I lost everyone's bitcoins due to the solar flare, sorry, so long and thanks for all the fish" scams.

Now that is interesting. I am in the US and the impression I got from my public school education is that the US has never defaulted on a single loan (yet). I will have to check that out! Googling now...

I put all I could gather from the various threads into the consolidated loan box above. You can quote it and add the missing information if you wish. I think the total is the main thing and I think that is correct.
I do not know why, but I find this whole BTC loaning thing very fascinating. It is a study in human beings and behavior and how they deal (or don't deal) with money.
I guess the question we are asking here is: can a new system for loaning money to pseudo-anonymous people be developed.
We have banks developing, and even a credit rating system on the way. Seems to me, for better or worse, we are having to duplicate a lot of the same infrastructure that has been developed in the fiat lending industry.

which they'll have to repay Didn't they already promise to pay and "have to repay" all the debt that is currenty being written off? Greece has a very long history of running up debt and then defaulting. Nothing has changed. The Greek people have learned that they can get something for nothing and now they expect it. Over and over again. No one should lend them another dime. |
