Put in. .3~ BTC into some more loans...been making steady profit from these trust loans lately!
@Fugger, will there be some sort of communication tool on-site between the borrower and lender soon, or like a public profile?

Thank you!

Yes, we are plnning a communication feature where you can post questions by loan listing and then the borrower can answer the lenders' questions.

Sounds great, really looking forward to giving that feature a shot
What about early loan repayments? some lenders repay early but i've been told they have to manually request...any plans for early repayment features?

Currently borrwers notify us in case they want to repay a loan early. We are thinking about giving the borrower the option to do this without our help.

Well in my opinion, I'm using the others sites like this, I don't have nothing against others, yes as you can see and know, there are lot of scams so that way we can lose part of BTC, but anyway never put all your eggs in one basket you should diversify it, I was and still look to do so, but when I found Bitbond.net few weeks ago, I thought I found another place that I can put few eggs there, until now is not possible, because this is worst and slow support just to get your account unlocked, now think this way just to verify your docs that you have to send, they took ever but kept the account locked, and then sent some emails asking what is wrong with, never got an email from them, so think if you have a default user how you will get a support from a site like this, humm maybe is not a good idea.

The system won't send a verification code to my phone.

Thanks for asking! We're active on many fronts but haven't shared much on bitcointalk recently. Promise to do so in the future

As you can read in this article we received funding from a Berlin based venture capital fund and currently ramp up our team.

We have many things planned like exchange rate pegged loans so borrowers and lenders can hedge themselves against bitcoin price fluctuations. Just recently we released dedicated URLs per loan so every user can ask questions to the borrowers publicly. Loans can also be shared through social media sites now. Here is an example of a loan page https://www.bitbond.com/buyer/listings/1MCVN53R2E

To date 259 loans got funded through Bitbond and the overall return is around our estimated 10% p.a. (after defaults). We also plan to make our loan statistics public in the next weeks. Everybody who is interested in data will love it.

We also recommend to check our blog regularly. You will find useful resources there like our 5 principles of bitcoin lending http://blog.bitbond.net/5-principles-of-bitcoin-lending/

So stay tuned and if you have questions feel free to post them here!

Are you still working on publishing loan statistics? Do you have a timetable for the release of this kind of data? I would be interested in having some charts of a % of defaults on total lendings, charts explaining from where the most defaults came from, what kinds of stated investment purpose were the most at risks from defaults et so on..

Yes, we plan to make detailed loan statistics available within the next 3-4 weeks. You will be able to make different kinds of analyses yourself based on the data that we're going to provide.

In the meantime checkout or our new profile pages that we implemented yesterday. They allow you to see in more detail which loans a particular borrower already has. This is one example https://www.bitbond.net/profiles/13K2YP3CJB

Interesting to see you're still alive and kicking...

Are you able to offer any data on your repayment rates, by any chance? For comparison to websites such as BTCJam.

Thanks, yes we're alive more than ever 

You can download and analyze detailed statistics from here https://www.bitbond.com/statistics. This includes every loan ever published / funded through Bitbond. The file is updated on a daily basis. The only thing that the file doesn't show you is the recovery rate on defaulted / charged-off loans.

Our repayment rate is at 87%. We don't know how this compares to our competitors because none of them publishes detailed statistics.
