I think the person LOANING the points should set the terms in advance, hence why he puts out the offer. If its to crazy, then you dont HAVE to accept the terms.

You will get a list of people who are 'applying' for your loan.. you choose one (Or none) and move on and post a new loan if you like.


You think it should be the other way around.. Person asks for a loan, then the person loaning sets the terms.. Then person who wants the loan clicks accept?

Guess I could do it that way..
The "accept loan" button/function will have to look at the lender's account balance before transferring the points to the borrower. Seems pretty straight forward to me but I am not familiar with internals of the system.

I am purely considering how I transact loans now...and then trying to conceive programming to accomplish it. Typically some one will say I am looking to borrow 500 points and I ask, "what and when are you gonna pay me back?" If it is interesting enough to me and I am comfortable with the borrower than I do the deal. Else I may just say "not interested" or I want X to do the deal.
