Oh, now you want this "loan" for food... What's next, your rent or your bills?! 
Just answer this simple question. Why would someone give you money without any guarantee that he will get them back?

I'm offering some sort of guarantee. I exposed my identity. I linked to a project that I completed, but I'm waiting for it to be marked as complete. I'll get paid in less than 10 days, but I need to cover for some expenses right now. If I had liquidity in form of collateral, I wouldn't be asking for a loan here.
Why would someone give me money without any guarantee? Well, because lending is a risky operation where you get a high return in just a few days. And now while I'm typing it, I see that I forgot to state the amount I'm willing to pay back, and when. Silly me.
Well, I'm willing to pay 0.035 BTC in 10 days top. And yes, I'll be buying food, because I need to cover for some expenses like I said, and also I'll get paid about Feb 4. Nope, I'm not going to use the loan to gamble on a margin trade like most people do.
