One of the Islamic Bank of Bitcoin's assets is a soon to be porn site.
That doesn't inspire legitimacy. Have you talked to cheaperinbitcoins about this problem? If they turned upside down, you probably should have bought the domain.

what do you mean TraderEdgeDice ? cheaperinbitcoins.com is offline now. will relaunch soon (somewhere in march)
It was previously redirecting to sarahsparkles.net or something like that. Suggestive image of a woman saying the website's "cumming soon." :s Here's what I have from my history log for the link (no cache): <a href=" http://www.cheaperinbitcoins.com/" style="background-image: url(chrome://favicon/http://www.cheaperinbitcoins.com/); " id="id-124">SarahSparkles.net - Cumming Soon!</a> ETA: SarahSparkles.net & cheaperinbitcoins.com use the same ISP, same registrar, both have an alleged owner who uses Hotmail, but they have different contact info. Hm.

senbonzakura, you need to get this fixed as soon as you can. It looks really bad to have http://www.cheaperinbitcoins.com/ redirect to porn.

FYI, the Sarah Sparkles thread is here ("Private Cams")- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41217.0Analysis by a system administrator (I have no involvement in this situation, just explaining one way this could happen): In the Apache webserver, using name-based virtual hosts, if SS and CIB used the same IP address and the CIB configuration was removed (or possibly skipped due to a missing directory), and no default site was configured, the SS site would show up if it was the first site. I don't expect this was a result of foul play, as it's very common to share an IP address between websites.

As an IT admin who hosts sites I'll also say this is common and happens on IIS based hosting as well.

This is because that person went to cheaperinbitcoins.com not www.cheaperinbitcoins.com . Try for yourself and see.

Darn I guess my updates didn't work on everything... I'll get this issue fixed. Still in the process of clearing my server for strictly CIB use this should be worked on on the day of the release (Sometime in march)

A consumer loan may as well be an addictive drug preying on the weak. And unfortunately your good intentions amounts to giving people addictive drugs for free.
So does prescribing free morphine, but that's not immoral either. I hate to be the one to feed you, but it's clear that no matter what monetary system, sometimes borrowing is a good idea. Even personal (consumer) loans can be. Leave it up to the consumer to weigh their options, or at least provide better advice than "conspiracy! don't borrow!"

The moral function of forbiding loans with interest is to destroy the business of consumer lending (since it would no longer be profitable) and thereby prevent the real 'sin' which is consumer borrowing.
A business loan at least serves some productive function, and the person taking out a business loan is actually better off for having taken out the loan (assuming a sound business). Prohibiting interest doesn't interfere with this since equity (which Islam allows, Musharakah, etc..) is actually better for all involved anyway.
Not so with consumer borrowing where the borrowers' failure of character leads them to a worse and worse situation - western countries had no choice but to get rid of debtors prisons because this became such a problem, and the function of the bizarre western imposed monetary system (which is destroying many countries) was actually to reduce interest rates to facilitate the masses' addiction to debt.
A consumer loan may as well be an addictive drug preying on the weak. And unfortunately your good intentions amounts to giving people addictive drugs for free.
Islam does not per-say want to discourage consumer lending; what it attempts to forbid, are loans with interest. Islamic principles aim to have the community freely distribute the wealth in it, via interest free loans, which gain God's pleasure in this world and the next. So members of the community are encouraged to loan others, basically to "feel good" and do good. I disagree with your free drugs analogy. IBB is attempting to show people that there are other ways to lending practices, that sometimes leads to good profits (via gratuity) than imposing interest fees. Often these loans are for legitimate purchase of products, and not just for quick gratification.
