Would you be able to show us your LBC account?
I'm not directly interested in lending you anything, but I might be if you have enough experience.
Sure,
https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/wayside113/I can utilise 30-40 btc as i have done so in the past. Not really expecting that much funding from here though
Hmm. Why would you even need only 0.5btc as funding if you can "utilise 30-40 btc" already? Seems fishy. 0.5btc is not even near 30-40btc.
