Addresses for users and payment/loans would (should) be set up in advance. I run a dedicated receiving address for every customer so I know where incoming coins are from and so I can track them.
Anyway - sub'd for interest.

Right, the addresses would be set up in advance if they were paying through my hot wallet. If I were to integrate bitcoin-abe as well, then customers would actually be using their addresses on their own wallets. These addresses would(should) be set up in advance, but I also want most bitcoin users to be able to make payments easily and reduce human error. Under the circumstances that they do not update their bitcoin address on my website and they make a payment to the lender; because their address is not properly updated the payment would not be recorded. I hope I explained that well enough.

Most of the code is set up, but there are still a few large parts of the code that need to be implemented. Mainly issues that requires input from possible users. When I get the beta up and running I will give the community a shout so they can help me work out the bugs if they wish to do so.

I agree if you got a good code base ready, release it with a beta tag on it and lets have fun.

One idea I was thinking about the other day with regards to reputation systems would be the idea of recording ratings and other information as micro transactions (with the numeric amounts actually being encoded information) in the block chain ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=87339.0). The point being that then your DB doesn't need to be trusted/relied upon to hold rating (or other) information.

I feel as if there could be limitations to this method of recording data.

The point being that then your DB doesn't need to be trusted/relied upon to hold rating (or other) information. Personally I think that would be unnecessarily complex. The important thing is to make certain to keep all emails/passwords secure and in very limited (and trusted) hands. Also, creating a credit rating system that makes sense (unlike the crap used on the fraudulent world financial markets) would be a big step toward better lending reliability. If all borrowers are required to create an account, they could be tracked pretty easily and lenders can get a good idea of who is higher or lower risk.

The only person that would have access to my server would be me. I would of course disclose my identity for obvious reasons. Do you have any experience with this type of security? I would love some insight on the issue. I have a few ideas, but I would rather not discuss them openly on the forum. Feel free to shoot me a line. kyle.emmet.austin@gmail.com

Actually the system is really quite simple (but maybe I didn't express that so well in the other thread). The point is that any trust system where the data is *privately* held automatically now has a fundamental weakness (this is after all why we like the fact that Bitcoin is the way it is).

Yes I understand your concerns, but do you have a plan to solve this problem? I cannot think of a way to add this to the block chain effectively.

The idea is to use specific addresses (owned by for example yourself) for receiving and sending ratings as two tx's. The first between the "rater" and yourself (which as explained in the other thread includes a CRC in the amount so where it is later sent can be verified) and the second between yourself and the "rated" party.

What about tx fees? Wouldn't that increase block chain size?

Of course tx fees need to be taken into account and there is always the issue of increasing the blockchain size (although I think Satoshi Dice has done more in that regards than this probably would initially). I did propose that perhaps an alt-chain (maybe RTC = rate coins) could be something to consider. For sure this is not going to be a trivial exercise but I do think that the benefit of a low (towards zero) trust mechanism has much more chance of widespread acceptance than any other method (and would be happy to contribute towards such an effort if others were interested to pursue it).
