Lol.  He calls it "the best faucet website" and meanwhile it looks like one that nobody has likely ever heard of--and if you're putting up a faucet as collateral for a 0.02BTC loan with that amount of interest, it's probably for gambling and will never be paid back. 

I'm so glad I put the Lending section on ignore a long time ago.  I don't know how it is these days, but back in 2015-16 it seemed like nobody understood the concept of valid collateral (like this guy), and Vod was tagging so many of these potential scammers it was ridiculous.

This is not the first attempt to sell the domain through loans. This user also trying to giving worthless domain as collateral. For example, user tradwra asking for a loan

Need some money start an new business, so i am try to find an loan here.
Amount 0.1 BTC for 3 month, pay back 0.115 BTC
collateral my website tradwra.com, can transfer domain to you.
Thanks!

Also, this domain has been on auction https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5299711.0

but just a few days later, without any interest, domain value rapidly lowered to 0.025.

0.025 BTC if someone can take over it. PM
