Strange, but I thought I had posted on this earlier… Anyway, what I thought I said (but maybe I was just talking to myself ;) )was 1) thank you for organizing this carnival and 2) thank you for calling my post your favorite.

This is interesting stuff, Lazy Man. I will be funding my Prosper account this weekend and writing about it. I think there is a lot of potential here, and I am excited to get started. I’ll be visiting your site a lot to read about your experiences!

Like Tom, I just know that they filed the thing with the SEC. I’m not sure we’ll hear about it again until it’s officially available.

I wouldn’t expect to be able to sell off your bad loans for much though.

Early Retirement Extreme,

In late October Prosper registered with the SEC to create a $500 million secondary market. That’s the last I’ve heard.

Thanks for putting up the carnival! Do you know how far along prosper is in making it possible to sell loans? If they became liquid it would be a whole other ball game.

Thanks for including my article. This is a great way to get different perspectives on peer to peer lending out there. Looking forward to future editions.

Sure, but most of them are currently unwritten.

Makes sense… Any other rules I need to know?

I believe that the host should leave themselves out of the carnival – at least that’s the way that I’ve seen other carnivals handled in the past.
