Hi all,
Long time viewer, first time poster.
I realise that as a 1 post screamer, you have no reason to trust me, or what I say.
But if anyone could lend me 1 BTC to get me out of delaying a transaction and possibly missing an upcoming date, I would be eternally grateful.
I promise the lender 3 BTC in return, as soon as I restock the cupboards (as soon as my next paycheck clears).
I also realise that's not a particularly attractive offer, so I'm only cautiously optimistic but thought it was worth a shot.
Will definitely increase my BTC buffer in future. :-\
-
1.1 BTC sent! Don't worry about repayment, gotta help each other out on here! ;)
-
Appreciate the offer mate. :)
I'm guessing by "sent", you mean "will send"?
Otherwise, how would you know where to send it?

all he/she needs is your user name on SR.
-
Yeah sorry, should've been more clear.
I realise all he needs is my SR username, it's just that I haven't given it to him yet and was confused when he said it was sent already.
PM'ing you now, grahamgreene and thanks again!
-
Yeah I sent it to your username on SR, just check your account there! :)
I assume your forum name is your SR name yeah?
-
No...!
My bad. Was going to PM my SR name to the first person who offered to help!
I have now PM'd it to you but if you are still willing to help me out, I will most definitely be repaying you, considering you've blown 1.1BTC on me already!
Again... apologies, I should have specified.
-
No worries, at least it'll brighten someone's day. Gotta look out for the community!
Yeah, stick up your SR name or a wallet address I can use and I'll send another 1.1 to the right address this time! :)

PM'd you man.
Thanks a lot. You're a champion! 8)
-
No problem man, sent out!

that was real cool of you man. you have good karma coming your way.
-
that was really cool i agree
-
I wish the entire community was like this guy.

It's all about helping out the community, if we help each other out we become a more tight-knit group thus forming a stronger whole. Besides, the more at home people feel here, the bigger and bolder SR gets, and the more power we have to fight the system!
/Anarchist rant. :P

like i said bro, you seem like a good person and if i can ever do something for let me know. if i got it then you got it. my word. and you know what gold gutted if you read this me and you are cool those coins are yours don't worry about gettin me back.
-
you know what would be real cool is the coins that don't have to be paid back the people should just keep passing it on. say like i borrowed 1 coin and the guy says don't worry about it. well the next time someone needs a coin. give it to em. the drawback to that is the people that will play people. i mean if someone needs a few coins i don't have a problem helping them out. but thats me and now i see a few others as well. kudos to all those people.

That's the kind of thing I'm trying to get at rowdyrasta, you've got the right idea dude!
Anytime I see someone asking for a few BTC to help them make a purchase, if I have it I'll send it on out. My hope is that they'll do the same for someone else down the line, and we can develop more of a culture of trust here on SR. I mean it's hard enough having trust in people in a black market system, and even harder in an anonymous black market system with no real form of retribution / discipline for scamming behaviour, (and yes there will always be the few that'll play people - it's ultimately their own loss) but if we can trust that our fellow Silk Roaders will help us out and not just take advantage of us then we're demonstrating that a black market like this actually contains more humanity and more trust than a large amount of 'legitimate' businesses, groups and societies have for each other.
At least then, even if our whole Silk Road world comes crumbling down around us, the world may eventually realise that we're not the boogie men that are out to eat everyone's babies; we are, in fact, a trusting and trustworthy community that prides itself on honesty, integrity, and freedom of choice. We - all of us here and now - are what every group and every society aspires to be, but with their lack of anonymity and pressure of social compliance simply cannot achieve. We represent a free society, outside the rules and regulations of the various governments and morally reprehensible individuals that wish to restrict our natural right as free humans to live our lives as we see fit. Every man is born free. Every woman is born free. Every child is born free. And I'll be damned if I'm going to let my children and my children's children grow up in a moral dictatorship where their every action is scrutinised and deemed legal or illegal.
I've never been an anarchist, or a rebel, or one to fight the system. In fact, I'm a hardcore capitalist, and thrive on the feeling of making a lot of money / having a lot of spending power. But I, like many of you, am conditioned to be that way as a result of the capitalist system I was brought up in. However, there comes a time when enough is enough. When the system that we utilise and structure our lives around begins to utilise us as a resource. When we've become nothing more than the cattle that feeds the incessant appetite of the capitalist and fiat-based monster of our own creation. When we realise that the only reason we value our freedom is because we are being left with less and less of it. And the time for change is now. We have the opportunity to change things, to really and truly effect a change in the psyche of humanity, one small Bitcoin at a time.
tl;dr:
Help a brother out when he needs it!
