How would that work?
Obviously he can't give you ALL the tBTC back, if he does some testing.
Because there are fees in testnet too Smiley

So you would only get back 5 tBTC:s minus testnet fees.

PS. While I understand you want them back, the collateral is awfully close to selling.  

Well, i actually assumed the OP needed 5 tBTC fast to do some testing, but he has a whole month to give me the tBTC back... So if he spends 0.1 tBTC on fees, he has all the time in the world to claim them from one of the 3 or 4 working testnet faucets.
Even if he doesn't, and he returns 4.9 tBTC, i wouldn't be mad... It's tBTC, so he's allowed to use it to test stuff Smiley

As for the collateral: i can assure you that it is not my intention to sell the tBTC. I'd rather have 5 tBTC back than $20 in BTC, it's a real hassle to mine tBTC. I do hope the OP feels the same way, but we'll wait and see. If the OP would run, i'd keep the $20 and use it to mine on the testnet once my stash runs out, so my endgoal would be to walk away with 5 tBTC, not to trade 5 worthless testnet coins for $20.
On a sidenote: I only asked for collateral because the OP is a new member with negative trust, if he was a > full member with positive trust, i'd probably lent the tBTC without collateral, the collateral is just an incentive for him to return the tBTC once he is done, nothing more, nothing less...
