Hi.

I'm in a weird situation right now. I left home with nothing but my phone and a few dollars for a taxi fare thinking I wouldn't be out for too long. I went for a while, and I ended up getting lost with nothing but my phone which is slowly dying and it's getting cold. I need a 0.3 BTC loan for two days to get a motel for the night, some food and pay for a taxi to take me home. For a 0.3 BTC loan I can offer you 0.325 BTC once I get home. I know it's a weird request, but I'm hoping someone can help a brother out. For anyone wondering, the Bitcoin will go into a Bitcoin Debit Card which is how I'll pay for everything. As for collateral, I can offer my account for 2 days. I don't want any new member stealing my personal account so if you aren't a trusted lender you'll have to ask an escrow to hold it. Thank you so much.




You live in Texas and it's getting cold in mid-July?
 
    You have your phone yet you got lost?
 
          You wandered so far away that:
       
                 You need a motel for the night;
                 It will take a cab ride to get you home.

 and you did all this by 8:20am?  Wow.

Seriously, this money is for a drug fix, right?





That's not my location. Just a random one I put there when I signed up. I don't do drugs at all.

 You also said you lived in Texas when answering a post about power costs.
I thought about lending you the money since I'm kind hearted but I have zero trust because of these anomalies.



You know that people move, right? I get it man don't worry

 Yeah I know but:

~.010 per kwh

Texas, US



this was 10 days ago.
Thanks for understanding.


As I said to Lutpin, a few days ago I moved.
I'm staying at Minnestota for a few weeks while I get this temporary job finished, then back to Texas.
Your story doesn't add up. How do we know that your account is not hacked?

I might have lent you without interest if your story wasn't fishy. << Thanks to xhomerx10 for spotting it.

I'm really tired, hence why I'm contradicting my self constantly. My account hasn't been hacked, I'm pretty active.
Well without a signed message the lender cannot guarantee that the account will remain under his control if you default.

You could sign a message and recover the account after you receive the loan.

Read up a few posts, the addresses are on my desktop and I can't sign any of them from my phone.
Let's say your story is true which I doubt it is.

You could receive the money from the lender and go home and claim back your account with a signed message making it look like a hack.
And the lender will loose access to your account.

It is true, and do you really think I'd do that? It'd be pretty stupid of me to even attempt that, because then my three years on the forum + all my help, ect will have been for nothing. I could have sold this account for 0.5 as an auction had I wanted, but I don't want to ever sell this. It's like a special memory for bitcoins when i first started! (:
