BTCJam ; Experiences

[knowhow]

it were a good project to help people development on the real life,but no garante that will return,i lost a bit on it but my profit cover the loss,but the main problem is there is no collateral soo you never know if someone will really repay the loan soo better stay away or choose how much you can afford to loose because a loose will happen too many scamers over the internet

i invested in like 30 Loan's only A or B Reputation and still more then 10% of the Loan's are not paid back. If you want to used it spread your invest and avoid everything below B Score.

If you're willing to do your research and not just rely on the credit score that BTCJam gives, you can do very well. If you don't research potential investors very well and are too quick to lend your money out, you could easily lose money.

I use BTCJam and other P2P lending sites as an investment and have done very well.

It is in Portuguese but you can use Google Translator.

the problem is even if the person has good reputation and was able to pay their past loans they can still scam people.. I've already 8 pending payments to be collected and they were reputable members and they went AWOL

Yeah finding good investors is the key here but those are very less i think and i'll try to not be quick in lending. Since you have been there would you suggest any trusted lenders where it is safe to invest.

Exactly first people build their reputation with small loans and then they apply for big loans and once it is funded they are gone. I mean this has happened many times, since i have reading people experiences.

i was ghoing to invest but after this post, it is better to avoid it i think, also i did not find a low loan to invest in, they start from 0.5+, not really comfortable with an amount that is so great at first try

could it be that their account are hacked or that those are fake trust build by the scammers itself, by having many account?

I don't like their web service it is become expensive to get a loan with them  

Yea, been a member with them since forever and frequently took out loans for investments.

They systematically changed their rating criteria causing my rating to drop to C+ - I refused to give them unnecessary information since they already had more than enough information in case I defaulted on any loan.

Recently they changed their strategy and prevent borrowers to set their own terms and we were forced to accept their ridiculous higher interest rates.

The final straw for me was a week ago, they changed their interest rate again and want me to pay 49.95% on a 0.70 BTC loan for 30 days.

I'll rather sell my kidneys on the black market for money Bitcoin before I make a loan on their site again.

Well i think interest gets lower with the number of verification steps you complete with them. I think they done this so that you get your profile completely verified before request any loan to avoid on defaulters

[waterpile]

I quit, i've got 2 defaulted loans both were +A users.. seems like that you're going to lose your investments if you keep on investing

BTCJam is not scam but unfortunately is full of scammers
Is any other website like BTCJam?
Because they don't accept any country and this is sad.
Anyway BTCJam is OK.

I lost my 2 investments at btcjam.

I got all the way to verifying address.
Once they asked me to break my banking terms to verify my account I decided to just stop.
