    摘要: The invention is directed to a method for facilitating micro-loan transactions, comprising: aggregating human capital management information; scrubbing the dataset; dividing the data into training data and test data to be used for building and testing a predictive model; constructing the predictive model; using the predictive model to calculate predicted borrower-users and lender-users and populating a database with the predicted values; converting the predicted values into integrity scores to form an index representing predicted borrower-users and lender-users, wherein the integrity scores are updated based on user feedback; receiving (1720) a loan transaction request (228) from a borrower-user (210); determining (1730) a risk score (230) for the loan transaction based at least on the borrower-user (210)'s integrity score (222); identifying (1740) a set of lender-users (212) based on the determined risk score (230) and the lender-users (212)' integrity scores (222); facilitating (1750) a negotiation of transaction terms (238) between the borrower-user (210) and the set of lender-users (212) to determine the transaction terms (238); responsive to finalization of the transaction terms (238), recording (1760) the loan transaction and the transaction terms (238) in a blockchain, and remitting loan funds to the borrower-user (210); responsive to a subsequent repayment of the loan transaction according to the transaction terms (238), soliciting (1770) peer-submitted feedback (226) from at least one of the borrower-user (210) and the set of lender-users (212); and updating (1780) the integrity score (222) for the borrower-¬user (210) and the set of lender-users (212) based on received peer-submitted feedback (226) regarding the loan transaction.

    摘要: The invention comprises a computer-implemented method and system for controlling an exchange process, such as a loan, conducted between at least two parties via a blockchain such as the Bitcoin blockchain. A method according to the invention may comprise the step of generating a first blockchain transaction which includes a redeem script. The redeem script comprises a cryptographic public key associated with an initiating party and metadata which includes a hash of an exchange-related document; a redeem address; and an amount of digital currency. A second blockchain transaction is generated and published to the blockchain so as to spend the digital currency to the redeem address. This provides the advantage that the further transaction will be publically available and thus detectable by other parties once it has been published. The further transaction can provide the information necessary to trigger a response e.g. an offer from another (responding) party who publishes their response on the blockchain. Thus, the exchange process can be implemented via a multi-transaction mechanism on the blockchain rather than an alternative medium. The exchange related document may be an invitation (offer/request) which is stored off-block in a repository such as a Distributed Hash Table (DHT). The invitation may be an invitation to engage in a contract. A smart contract (and associated blockchain transaction) may be formed upon condition that a plurality of participants (e.g. lenders/borrowers) are matched with each other via one or more responses effected via transactions on the blockchain.

    摘要: An online marketplace system generates an online marketplace for seller-financed transactions. The system includes a plurality of listings of transaction offerings that are available. The transaction offerings are listed by a plurality of users and are from a plurality of different categories of products and services. The transaction offerings include a plurality of transaction terms, including payment and seller-financing terms. A transaction engine facilitates the negotiation of transaction terms between users and the formation of agreement between users. Transaction coins are awarded during the successful performance of a transaction according to the agreed upon transaction terms. A reputation engine generates trust profiles and trust scores for users. The trust profiles and trust scores are used by parties to evaluate the trustworthiness of the other party. A user interface engine generates a user interface that includes listings from users and trust scores of those users.
