The gap...I was traveling the world for 8 months (backpacking...18 countries). Took me a little to get back on the groove of things. I just finish building a house in the Caribbean and had to purchase my father's house from the family after he passed...my fund exhausted.
You can say that, but to us, there couldve been a change of hands between that time. Signing a stake address from before your trip could help prove that.
Guys, if you need proof I'm the owner of CoinGears.com let me know. I will even transfer the domain under your name until the loan is paid. I'm serious about this project and know how to make it successful. I've done it before.
Even if you do prove it, your domain was created recently and is worthless to lenders. I really dont know what else to say to you because people want collateral before lending out. You could try a bank loan.
