I wrote this e-mail 10 days ago, unfortunately without any response ____ Hello, I am your user, my email: inter***** bri@gmail.com my alias: drslump I write on the blog http://bitcoin-italia.blogspot.it/ on the monthly http://www.isiciliani.it/ I have the twitter account @bitcoin_ita I apologize if there are direct but i don't know the english and i am using tools for automatic translation I wrote an enthusiastic article on your service, citing nobel prize Muhammad Yunus and the campaign "Tous Mécénès" of the Louvre http://www.isiciliani.it/crowdfunding-e-bitcoin-oggi-sposi/#.UQ5fd2fznkcI have published a free ebook on Bitcoin http://www.isiciliani.it/ebooks/#.UQ5g9Wfznkc In preparing another. I have to say I was sorry: your stats, and your explanation on the forum to non-payment are not convincing. "I have been duped have fallen into scams evident", is not a good response, you couldn't already tell you and do not favor them. Nor is it possible a direct comparison between the different percentages of loans I read in the discussion of the forum that some cases would be refunded https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112447.0I lost only 3 BTC by one person. https://btcjam.com/listings/176I'd like a refund. I am convinced of your good faith, but at the same time your site it seems to be a place it is easy to cheat. I'd like to have statistics on the number of users (not loans) that have not paid I am a prudent person, But it is only through your site that i have suffered a scam. Glad to have even an answer, I'd like a refund, thanks Fabio V. |

It would be better if you could show you actually owned assets rather than yet another social network account.

Do you mean proof of income, house ownership, etc? |

Tulkas,
I suggest you not give a reputation point for eBay unless the person actually has some feedback there. Otherwise, it is just yet another automated process for scammers to easily game with 30 seconds of effort.
Also, I have been getting the "We're sorry, but something went wrong." all day when I click on the rate a user button. Something is probably messed up on your end.

Thanks for the suggestion. Now the Facebook and eBay accounts will only add verification points if they are either verified , old or with a minimum number of connections (friends). |

The Ponzi scam operators are not going to like having a limit on the number of active loans.
I see that the Ponzi scam scum have started voting for unlimited loans.
I guess this poll will show just how many scammers vote.
Simple solution: do not lend to people with multiple outstanding loans. Why does the site need to impose a hard limit? I personally do not lend to such borrowers, but voted for "unlimited". I guess that makes me a scammer.  |

It looks like everyone who has PayPal dropped 2 points today. Is it only worth 4 instead of 6 now? (For the record, 4 is a much more reasonable than 6 given that nothing else is worth more than 2.) Or is it coincidence and all these people lost 2 points from eBay/Facebook? I lost 2 points and my eBay is 4 years old and Facebook 3 years old with 100+ friends, so I doubt it is the second option.

Now to earn points your account must be verified ,old or with a minimum number of connections (friends). The paypal reward still 6 points. (to refresh the status of your account just sign in with Facebook). eBay will be updated automatically soon. |

Fair enough, my bad. ...still think it's unfortunate that paypal still exists btw.  Edit: N/M logging in from fb actually dropped me to zero and apparently nuked my account. Probably due to the fact that my son uses my fb account 1000x more than I do. <sigh> Edit2: Changed fb account primary email address back to mine and tried logging into btcjam again from fb, but now it just says "We're sorry, but something went wrong." Edit3: Apparently fixed. |

I have recovered the two missing rating points now.  |

The site says I need to reverify my facebook account, but when I click that it just created a new account linked to my facebook account (my current account is using Google auth). Think its a bit broken....

The wallet was changed after the attack, you should always generate a new address to make deposits. I will put the old wallet online and get the coins. Thnxy, appreciate it. Tulkas... How is the progress on this? I'm getting concerned... -- Smoov |

I think 2 active loan limit is fair. Recently got burned pretty bad by someone with the username "user3984". Basically lost all the profit iv made and am now in the red. This guy has like 31 repaid loans, but also has 19 that are currently active, and now half are overdue and he seems to have just peaced out with the money. Seems like he spent quite a bit of time building up loan rep then took out a whole bunch of smaller loans over time to make it not so suspicious.
If users were limited by the amount of loans to take out it could help get rid of this problem. Maybe have it so you can only have one "in funding" at a time, and max 2 active at a time.

Give him a -10, that is about all you can do at this point.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated! |

No reason you couldn't just limit yourself to 2 loans per person when lending. There are too few quality borrowers as it is to lend to. |

Loan policy update:
It's no longer possible to create anonymous listings. The borrower must have at least identity and address verified.
