I'm interested in offering loans, more as a social experiment than investment. I'm curious if anyone who has *successfully* lent coins (and been paid back) cares to share his/her method with the forum. Much appreciated.
1. Read the threads written by mods about lending activity.
2. Don't loan to newbie
3. Watch reputation and last post of people asking for loan
4. If password has been reset recently, ask for a signed message (account has maybe been hacked)
5. If you want to guarantee your loans, ask for a collateral you will be able to resell

Good luck. Full of scammers here

this guy pretty much summed it up.
IMO i dont think loaning is gonna be profitable unless you make sure to never get scammed.
