1 btc loan for groceries? (paid off and closed)

[arklan]

So, your an admin of a gambling site, and your giving lectures on people gambling? boggle.  you offering to close down your site out of moral obligation?

  I've seen Douglas many times, blocking gamblers from gambling all there funds away, etc.

Besides, satoshidice isn't my gambling site

I know ppl do gamble and have a bit of fun here and there. But if he was asking for a desperate loan of 1 BTC for groceries at September,
and gambled a few 0.1 BTC at Oct 1, or later. It shows he is gambling money he can't afford to lose.

Just pointing it out.

I haven't gambled a single satoshi of any money, btc or otherwise, in 2013.

Further, your suggestion in pm that I put an address for donations in my forum sig as a way to verify that's my address? Wow.

Well I was going to donate and help you out as I felt sorry for you, but then my desire to help got waived from the gambling history of that address.
Any Coins I donate to you will just go to gambling

Maybe your just pissed he's not spending it at your casino ?

Exactly  

He did say he is working for a cartage company now, so maybe he is not so bad off.   How do you know what he can/can not afford to lose?  If he's got "x" coming in at a specific time from a new job and can afford to bet a little.    But you can't go lecturing people when you make proceeds off of a parasitic gambling site.

I was just pointing it out the nature of his post the need to get food, Sounding like an emergency and lack of funds then a week later a few 0.1 BTC that got tossed and gambled. I'd expect in a situation of hardship that need money for food and not much money to not gamble any away.

As i already said, I've done no gambling of any kind this year. You're looking at the past. Pay attention to your own posts and the dates therein.

What's the weather like up on that pedestal?

Hi Arklan,

Again, I hope things are going well in the new job.   I came across another thread that made me think we should consider how to complete  your loan.   Another user had posted a sale of 10 BTC via paypal so I had offered to purchase while locking equal value up in LTC in escrow for 30 days.   He basically called me a scammer because you can reverse payments I guess for 45 days.  I had thought it was 30.

Any way.  If your concerned about making payment and having me reverse the original loan here is what we can do.

1) Still make payment by the end of October for the 1.1 BTC
2) Just prior I can put equal of 1.1 BTC, of LTC, in escrow.  If anyone is willing to do that? (VOD? Tomato?)
3) I get back my BTC and the escrow holder can release my LTC after the 45 day paypal period has ended.

I think that protects both of us, and allows you to make your final payment that falls before that 45 day period is up.

Let me know what you think.

cheers.

this seems fine. the trick (for me) will be GETTING the full 1.1 btc in time... this price climb is making that more and more difficult.

[arklan]

Hi Arklan,

I know its a tough call.  Most would argue that they would of had that money sitting in BTC so it would of gained value so you should pay that.  However, I don't hold BTC.  I just do arbitrage.   I jumped on the loan to help ya out, I don't need to make a boat load.   I know currently 1.1 BTC is at about 210 USD on bitstamp.   No point in waiting for a crash as it may not come.

We originally agreed to 1.1 BTC repayment.  We can amend that.   I'll agree that you can just pay the equal value of 140 USD in BTC to me at the time, but if there is a major crash, you will at least pay me back the 121 USD I lent you.

How does that sound?

agreed. 140 USD in btc, according to... uh, which exchange? your call.

[arklan]

Well as I based the loan on btc-e prices, why not stick with that.   Makes no difference to you as your capped at 140 USD, but at least I can arb it over to gox and withdrawal in yen.

man the price is still going up.  lucky you didnt take that dude on the 3btc to 1btc offer eh lol...

lol, right?

i'd forgotten which we used. but yea, ok.

[arklan]

So, update. My job only pays about 140 a week, much to my surprise, and I had to buy new glasses cause mine broke, and I owe my friend who's letting me stay in his living room some money too.

In short, there's no way I can make the 31st deadline. Can we work something out? Could do it by November end. Should be getting more hours at work, which would make that sooner. I'll add another $10 for the delay?

Or something else?

[arklan]

Partial I can certainly do. Btc equaling  $35 each Friday?

[bakada]

...

[arklan]

So just to confirm at this point:

Payments of BTC equal to 35 USD will be made on November 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 10USD on 29th at the BTC-e price on that given day?  Please state if in agreement.

Thanks,

agreed

you could repay arklan's debt to bakada directly and avoid your concern that way.
I just read this thread and am kind of stunned at arklan's turn of events...

[Magazine]

Yeah, pretty lame taking out loans and getting help from people then can't pay it back.

[arklan]

woah, who said i can't pay it back? i can, and am, as outlined above.

canary, yea... it's been an "eventful" year...

Hi Arklan,

Yesterday's first payment should of been for 0.175 BTC.    Not received anything yet.   

thx

Been at work, just got cash into digital form, buying Btc now, waiting on confirms. Repayment address?

[bakada]

...

[arklan]

Sure, thx.   Its on the 2nd page of the thread.   Here ya go.  1JxvYeR4x8P4ymLukc4JhtmZVpa7yXGFLP

...so, i'm going to lose my mind. my have a reloadable Amex Bluebird debit card, which i just put my cash on so i could deposit it to virwox, buy sll, exchange to bitcoin, and get you your coin. ...they don't take amex. i'm currently bashing my head against a wall trying to find a way to do this, but for now, i'll send you what coin i mined this week as that's the best i can do.

.08 on it's way until i figure this out, which likely wont be tonight since i gotta go to work in an hour. my level of pissed off right now is epic... and yes, it's pissed at myself.

[arklan]

ok, i found a workaround - i can (i think, i've not DONE it to be sure) buy a giftcard via the gyft app for amazon.com and sell that for btc (or give directly to you if ya wanted, whatever.) but i want to keep lookin for something less workaround and more direct. i'll be in touch more tomorrow. well, later today.
