0.3 BTC Loan Request

[Scott J]

Hello,

I need a small loan of 0.3 BTC

I'm willing to pay back 0.5 BTC by 30th January 2012.

I don't have any feedback to go on I'm afraid - I've purchased some coins from Casascius and that's about it!

I'm willing to give some personal details if required 

Cheers,

I've been unable to confirm the loan with Brian and he's offline now 

I need the BTC tonight if possible, so would like to open this up again.

Would anyone else be kind enough to help?

Many thanks,

0.3btc sent to your address.

[Scott J]

Thanks loads, xxaudioxx.

Please provide an address so I'll be able to repay you.

If the picture above is anything to go by then I don't want to know!

Perhaps I'm just an ignorant "rich" Westerner but isn't this a trivial amount to resort to loans from strangers on an internet forum?

I'm just curious what possible need is being fulfilled by $2 loan? If you are that strapped for cash how do you travel to work, buy lunch, or pay for the electricity to run the computer you're posting from?

My problem is that requests for such small loans seem to have high scam potential to me.

If someone's so strapped for cash they take time to make 30+ posts on a forum to scam someone out $2, they probably deserve the money out of charity. I'd imagine the lendee is just a few BTC short of what they need for a transaction they wanted done immediately and couldn't wait for a transfer from their bank/CC/whatever.

The potential scam isn't two dollars. It's two dollars times as many simultaneous "lenders" as you can hook. That's what makes me suspicious, if it's real it's trivial; if it's a scam it's non-trivial.

This.

In fact, the value of bitcoin went up so much that I didn't need the loan.

I'm about to return the .3 and will pay the .2 interest before the 30th as agreed.

[Scott J]

0.2 interest paid 

Thanks again for that.

If anyone here or the OP wants a small loan (less than 5BTC) in the future, consider me as an option.

Ok. So many loan threads show up that it's hard to keep up you know.Try managing a large (ish) film crew at my job at the same time as keeping my online business ventures working. Anyway thanks for the tip hongus.I hope to get into the lending business.Got a client at the moment for the loans business. I find the BTC lending business an interesting one so far.
