No worries! I don't go to a local pawn shop because I don't want to sell them, I'm asking for a loan remember! I'm not trying to sell, and no pawn shop that I've ever been to would do that for me. Also, regarding the other member(s) that I'm asking to get a loan from, I'd like to get a loan from as many as I can to satisfy the amount that I'm looking for, not together. I'm not trying to keep it a secret, it's just that there is enough of me to go around. With miners being so cheap right now I can get my mining operation up and running, and the more money I can borrow up front the better. PM me or leave another reply here if you have any more questions or if you want to get the ball rolling, or if you'd like to loan me a smaller amount than I'm asking for I can make that work as well such as only 1BTC. Thanks!

I understand that shipping won't be cheap but like I said, banks refuse to give business loans to anything regarding crypto. 125% collateral plus 8% interest would be 1.33BTC or $11,600. The spot price of gold is the same everywhere in the world, right now it's $1320. That would be 8.78 1 oz bars, but I can round up and send 9 1 oz bars as a show of good faith. The assay cards have a QR code on the back built into them that you can scan with a smartphone and it'll pull up information from their database on them.

I can do 125% and ship to the UK. I can get them out later today. Also, they're 1 oz gold bars, still sealed in their assay cards, so I wouldn't necessarily call it "scrap gold", but you can easily look up the spot price for gold and that is what you could get if I did default on the loan, which I won't. Let me know if you have any further questions, if not please do give me a name and address to ship it to. Thanks.

I mean gold bullion, 1 oz gold bars still sealed in their assay cards and wrapped in shrink wrap from when I bought them. I'm based in the US but I forgot to mention originally that I will of course pay for insured shipping both ways.

Let it be known that I'm also in the process of receiving another loan from another member here on the forums, but it's not enough for what I need, so I come to you as well with the hopes that you'll approve. Banks really hate crypto right now and WILL NOT give me a loan for anything crypto related so hopefully I can get what I need from here.

They're solid gold bars so they're 24 karat. They're 1 oz bars. For example 6.5BTC is $59800, that would be just about 44 bars. I'm in the US so I would ship all 44 bars to you - insurance and shipping paid for by me, which would likely only take up to 1 week to a week and a half - and once you receive you release btc. I wasn't assuming nor would I expect you to release the bitcoin to me any time before that for obvious reasons.

Nearly four months ago I made a few threads about theorizing the profitability and capability of a large scale remote solo mining operation - here and here - and I've finally ironed out the logistics to make it happen, especially since I can now get miners so cheap as of recently. Feel free to PM me if you have questions or would like to work through the logistics of a loan such as this, or we can hash it out here to keep it public, up to you.

Before requesting a loan, as to not waste your time or insult you, up to how much bitcoin can be requested, with collateral of course, and will you accept any physical collateral or strictly altcoins and accounts? Thanks.

What did I say that contradicts what you just said? Nothing. What I said is exactly how it works. I didn't say how long it would take for anything to happen, you just assumed I meant sometime soon.

If the price keeps declining, the difficulty will adjust, boosting profitability. If the price rebounds and begins to rise, the difficulty will continue to rise and catch up, but profitability should still rise.

The only ones losing out on this are the ones selling their machines and/or selling their coins. The winners are the ones that hodl.

I think it's an excellent time to buy gear when it's so cheap.

Beautiful.

Bitmain is going to charge you whatever they're going to charge you for customs, but as far as I'm aware any company is better to deal with than UPS. DHL, Fedex, and USPS are all cheaper.

Why do they give out so many then? They want people to split their orders up into a million smaller ones?

Can you apply all of the coupons to a single order?

Good luck, it's what he does.
