I just registered nakedloans.io. Feel free to be prudes but I'm going to take this business idea to market and help reduce some of the friction in the peer-to-peer loan market. If anyone wants to team up please leave a reply with some contact details.

The problem is that it's pretty seriously predicated on you caring about your naked pictures getting out in the world, which a lot (a majority, even?) of people in the USA and Europe do not. I know that if I could get money with the only collateral if I don't pay being that naked pictures get on the internet then I'd use that as an excuse to make money with my body without having to be sexually attractive.

  Also there are some laws in the USA, such as the relatively new "revenge porn" laws that may have clauses that protect borrowers in the event that they can't pay up. Credit where it's due though: "nakedloans.io" is a domain that could be pivoted to other purposes should this one fail.

> Feel free to be prudes .... This is offensive. Did you read the article? Or are you simply mesmerized by the prospect of quick money? "As she kept failing to pay back on set payment due dates, she borrowed more money from the platform with the same weekly interest rate until the overdue payment grew to 55,000 yuan, which then led to a threat with her naked pictures ... Li told the newspaper that many of her fellow students have borrowed money in this way, but most were too ashamed to talk. Snapshots of similar threatening collection messages have also gone viral, with a photo of a female borrower and a message reading how the lender would send the photo and her naked video footage to her family members if she could not pay back her 10,000 yuan borrowed on an annual interest rate of 24 percent within a week" Human history is replete with instances of exploitation. Martin Shkreli comes to mind as a recent example. But then, to each his own. Feel free to follow your instincts. And no; I for one wont be contacting you.

How much do you loan per pic? How do you verify identity? What is borrower is an exhibitionist?

  The "borrower is an exhibitionist" scenario is beautiful and I hope it brings hell to these people.

I'll be your first borrower. Depending on how dumb you are, I might also be your last!

(For those who can't tell this was satire.) I was laughing extremely hard when I registered that domain. Sorry, I know this is a serious discussion but I couldn't help myself.
