As a lender with only one feedback I can't leave feedback myself even though I've been rooked for BTC. That's wonderful.

The number of feedback you have received is irrelevant.  To leave feedback, you need a reputation score of 4 or more from verification section.

Irrelevant, I lend money, I don't borrow. Zero interest in giving more data to a "by the wayside" website to "lose".

You likely just picked the wrong users to invest in. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But you definitely learn with time who you can and cannot trust. It makes no difference to me if you do or do not continue to use the site, but I find it to be a learning experience. Like you, I just decided to put in a couple bitcoins to experiment, but I have actually made a couple bitcoins with my investments. I have also lost some due to scammers, but that's part of the risk. I would give it a little while before you totally make your decision about BTCJam, but thats just my two cents.

Fair enough, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Based on payback site wide, you are likely better off with Satoshi Dice or poker. At least with those two options there is no "money into a black hole effect". You can see the results of the bet and what happened. With the micro loan, if it defaults, it's just a black hole with no data.

Again, not bitter, really don't care about this specific dollar value or I wouldn't gamble. Just sharing the experience I PAID for. I honestly think genuine gambling with a verifiable betting service is a far better risk. Fully realize there is no "sure thing" and have always believed that. However based on the odds, you might as well invest in a usagi business model, at least you'll get entertainment while he fights with the trolls.
