Great, congratulations.
@steemfund
A question - if annual APR is 20%. what would be the rate for 3 months? Or is it simplified for testing purposes? TNX!

Hello @ervin-lemark, this is Direct Anual Interest. So it would be:
(20% / 12months) * 3 months = 5%
600 + 5% = 630
Here is a table of what each investor would receive:
@lukestokes 210 Steem
@kingscrown 63 Steem
@ervin-lemark 105 Steem
@chitty 252 Steem

How much equity do I have to my rep?
How is that measured?

Hey Joseph, the general idea is that the higher rep a user has the lower the APR for his loan, since REP works as collateral here, with your rep you could ask for a loan and pay 15% APR.

I'm new to steemit so please forgive my ignorance in advance- so would a borrower perhaps be willing to pay that 20% because as a very proactive content creator and curator that they expect exponential growth leveraging that powered Steem making a 20% interest rate relatively insignificant when compared to their anticipated overall gain in Steem?
And if that's the case would a 20% interest rate be appealing to a Steemer that has extra Steem to spare but isn't necessarily creating content and curating as often as the borrower might?
Just generally trying too figure the advantages to lender and borrower in such an arrangement- thanks for any insight you may provide.

Hey, thanks for your comment and welcome to steemit.
Yes, both cases could be true.
The borrower could also need money for activities outside steemit, like paying debts or remodeling a house, etc.
The investors would want in because they will be getting a sure gain without much effort.
