I see +2 on that account. Got to do some research, I guess.
I saw +3 as we still not created scam accusation waiting for his response.
Why is it so hard to take valid collateral and not someone's reputation/age/etc?
It is the easiest way to avoid a scam. But few people who really need a loan and doesn't have valid collateral (the only altcoin is valid collateral according to me), lenders usually consider that (I think). I have seen several Reputed members even DT1 took a loan without collateral. And maximum reputed members are very honest. For example:
actmyname asked for a loan of 0.25
BTC without collateral where 2 people send so total received 0.5
BTC.
actmyname refunded 2nd sender. And repaid early to the first person. I also gave
actmyname a loan of 0.25
BTC without collateral and repaid on time as usual.
