[CLOSED] I need 150 BTC lended for 15 days

[AniceInovation]

Hello,

I have closed a deal with powercoiner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64012.0
I bought his rig + 5 HD5850 for 180 BTCs.

I only have 17 BTC, but am expecting a good amount from Clipse's pool today or tomorrow.
I make something like 11 BTC per day.

I am here asking for a loan of 150 BTC, to be paid 160 in 15 days.

Reputation i don't have much, only bought a card to nelisky, but i have been seen hashing at 16GH at the now defunct A1pool.
ATM am hashing at Clipse's pool.

Anyone interested?

You do realize that Powercoiner is barely out of Newbie status and makes a beeline to the Marketplace with 5850s.  So you're going to drop  nearly $700 on his cards?  Brilliant.

And anybody who lends you the coins... even brilliantar!11!1oneone1

Noted, watching.  Extended a couple of new loans yesterday so waiting for some funds to come back in before doing another one (a few days).  The point already made above suggest caution on all sides.

The one guy who reported that he received Powercoiners cards has 31 posts himself

I smell an official 'hmm' coming on the way to this thread

And powercoiner's email is powercoiner@hotmail.com. I doubt he uses the name powercoiner everywhere, which means he made the email specifically for this site.

I do understand the lack of trust in the person selling the material.
No matter the outcome of the deal, i will pay the bitcoins lended.
Its just a matter of paying them faster with the new rig, or slower with the rigs i have.

We're just a suspicious bunch.  Sometimes we're looking for the next interesting scam, sometimes a reason to do or not do something.  The arrangements here require a heightened degree of caution because of the issues observed over time around fake deals, and deals that go bad.  You also need to remember that typically a 90% payback rate is break-even and that the lending section is still fairly new.

also ask if he accepts escrow.

+1

Then of course, is the escrow safe?

Consider

Charges just 1% and provides dispute arbitration.

They have had only good reviews (though, oddly, none recently)

yes when i mention escrow, btCrow is the only one i have in mind. good reputable.

of course many other individuals are willing to do escrow for 0% fee (like me)

maybe he's leeching power from parents, that would be an interesting economic advantage for mining.

lol - didn't notice - however, the irony is thick - shame it's history now.

Someone in another thread suggested a lender acting as the escrow. It would be ideal in this case.  Of course, it would need to be a lender of some reputation.

OFFTOPIC: is there any escrow in europe? Anyone recomended?

Lending successful: will pay 160 BTC to znort987 until 9 march!

Hey Anice, how's that 5850 rig coming?

znort: Sorry to say but that's the last you'll see of those Bitcoins.  Shoulda listened to my first post in this thread.

[MrTeal]

Yeah, those BTC to Powercoiner are almost certainly gone. I would be shocked if we're able to recover any of them.

[senbonzakura]

so no escrow used ?

[Raoul Duke]

Dudes, I guess it doesn't matter if the OP was scammed by whoever he sent the BTC. It shouldn't interfere with his ability to repay the loan.

There is something i dont like about alice's profile pic. It gives me the creeps.
