on another note, is anyone having any problems with their api? I am able to make the "listings" request just fine, but when I try to make any other request I am getting a 500 "internal server error". Their support took 2 weeks to respond by saying "That's odd, have you tried using a different browser? You can view the progress of the listing in your payment table if have invested", demonstrating that they didn't really read my question, since I am not accessing the server through a browser but rather through their api. I asked them what they meant, that wasw four weeks ago and they still haven't responded. Api halp anyone? hackbyte?
P.S. I started off joining btcjam for investment purposes, but soon I am hoping to use the api for research purposes for my masters thesis.
Same problem here. Reported to support like a week ago and never heard back from them. Nevertheless I got an email from someone (I guess marketing) asking me why I haven't make any loans yet.
Their Bitcointalk user verification process does not work either.
Upon further review, their arbitration process for when someone defaults is useless, unless you are short of toilet paper. If someone from Brazil defaults me for a couple of grands, I wont spend 100k in lawyers to recover the money.
If I ever recover the BTC from the dip-the-toe-in-the-water loans that I made, I will take my money back and run away as fast as I can in the opposite direction.
