I just wanted to give mad props to somebody!

I am nobody and have less the .30000000btc

Somebody was honest and asked for a small .01btc loan so they could come up again,
and somebody joked about him losing it on S******dice or gambling it away.

I am still learning so I documented everything like a corporation loan, was just learning how to pay people from my wallet. He answered a couple of questions of mine after I forgot to see the part were he didn't want to HAVE to answer questions, anyways It took me a couple hours figuring out how to do it, Finally I did it! SO I let him know. We chatted for a bit and he said he would pay me down the road sometime. WITH 72 Hours I GOT THE EMAIL LETTING ME KNOW HE REPAID THE LOAN! A perfect stranger asked for basically nothing but, to me, it was something, and not monetary, Principle. So, I would rather loan somebody I don't know a small amount and not get it back then to loan some ass I already now and have to listen to why they ain't/can't/won't now was going to pay it back.

I sure could use some money, but I can't borrow it, cause I am not sure I or even if I could pay it back. I am doing my best just living a simple life and working my ass off. But if Things get going, it is good to know that good folks out there are doing something, and mad props to all the people who are generous enough to loan doer's funds!

*I figured out how to not get mad when friends don't payback. #1 Don't loan somebody more money than they can afford to pay back, if you loan more than they can afford to pay it back reasonably, sure are an ass and should be in there position, hopefully you will die soon, #2 Don't loan more than you can afford to lose. Like me, I loaned a lot of what I had (digits wise, Not $) and when I got it back had more digits and was so surprised, if I never got it back, I had already figured I would see it down the road, if never and appreciated the few words he shared, I feel like I owe him.

This loan was repaid in about 24 hours. It was a 5 day loan and I received full interest regardless (thank you).

Building good trust with curiousone.

Let me add a few facts that may help:

1. I have been making buy requests for BTC for the past week. I pay GBP via Bank Transfer. curiousone offered me 10 BTC which I bought. Transaction completed fine.

2. A few days (4) later curiousone asked me if I could lend him 10BTC. I did not ask why or what for. Thats his business. Four days after he sold them to me he needed a loan. What for? I have no idea. He requested a short term loan from me (someone he trusted as I paid him CASH up front). He also offered me a good return. I don't know how he is using BTC to make money. Maybe he lent the 10BTC on. Maybe he is an expert in 7 card stud poker - I really don't know. But he promised me 1.5BTC return on a 5 day loan of 10BTC. Now I have SEEN people borrow 2BTC and return 3BTC in less than 4 hours! That happens here on OTC. So who am I to question why curiousone is giving me such a high return? Maybe he doubled the 10BTC? Who knows. The salient point here is that his circumstances changed in the 4 days since he sold me the BTC. That can happen. Nothing odd there really.

When posting loans like this, you should mention both users' bitcoin-otc names.

tenakha=tenakha
curiousone=shaofist

Also odd is that they both took the time to rate the receiving of BTC on bitcoin-otc for this set of transactions, but for some reason neither of them choose to rate the transaction where the 10 BTC were originally transferred on 2012-08-29.

Yes, we are both based in the UK. I originally requested to buy BTC from a UK seller so I could deposit into a UK bank - and he replied to me on #bitcoin-otc

Your comment about 'in the same timezone' is about as ridiculous as saying "OMG they are both from the US"!!?? The UK has a population of over 77 million.

We don't know eachother IRL - but again - what if we did? So what? Are we now saying that people who know eachother IRL shouldn't be trading BTC on OTC??!

Seriously!

LOL, I love that people who arn't even involved are suspicious, bloody bitcoins 

I did actually sell the 10 coins to tek in the first place, and I ended up buying a load more I got from mtgox today so just handed what I owed over.

When two unknown, extremely-low-post count users post about their loan transactions, and go on to talk about "building trust", they are almost always a single scammer attempting to build a fake reputation and transaction history. Maybe your transaction was the excption and you're in the 1% of legitimate transactions. But since this has happened hundreds and hundreds of times here, in no way should you be surprised about being called out.

Also, you may think we're "not involved", but like EVERY bitcoin investor, I'm involved peripherally, and it sickens me to see people getting scammed, no matter how naive they are. If you are indeed legitimate users, you should understand and respect that.

OK guys I've dug a little deeper into this evil, community destroying sham of a loan agreement cleverly masked as a small loan between two acquaintances and I've discovered things aren't what they seem at all....

OK first of all it seems both users have uploaded videos to youtube in the past 5 years, coincidence? I don't think so

http://www.youtube.com/user/Tenakha

http://www.youtube.com/user/shaofist

They claim to be from the same country yet Tenakha's you tube profile is from Finland NOT the UK as he claims.

I'd bet any money that Tenakha is in fact none other than the elusive, notorious Finish Identity theft payday loan guy that hit the headlines back in 2010  http://www.debtmanagementtoday.co.uk/newsstory?id=1002&type=newsfeature&title=criminals_target_lax_payday_lender_in_1_5m_loan_fraud

If anyone wants to take this bet with me email my trusted friend who runs a site some of you may have heard of (blockchain.info) on his "special" email address koshaescrowdude@outlook.com and I'll match any amount)
