Why didn't you use a third party escrow? Unless someone has phenomenal Trust, never get a loan from AND send collateral to them. This has been covered many times.

Even that doesn't work sometimes.... looks at TF.
TBH, TF was pretty shady from the start. Not sure how he gained that much trust initially. |

Why did you borrow 3 BTC and sent 1.5 BTC as collateral? Wouldn't just borrowing 1.5BTC instead work? Also, this. Why didn't you use a third party escrow? Unless someone has phenomenal Trust, never get a loan from AND send collateral to them. This has been covered many times.

If I would have requested 1.5 BTC he would have just request 0.75 BTC as collateral, most loans work that way they require collateral.

But collateral would be something else which is tangible and different from the item being borrowed - like shares which is worth the btc borrowed or even fiat for example. It's like asking for a $10k loan from the bank and using half of it as collateral for example. It wouldn't stop the borrower from running (as he's still up half assuming that he got his loan first) nor help in the interest department (as he'll have to borrow twice as much). |

I honestly don't get why some people even bother with fucking over people on the Internet without planning. It's so easy to Google a few things, or get help from others. And bam! Your anonymity is crippled. |

Why was negative feedback removed and why are you planning on deleting the thread? So the next guy gets scammed without warning?
