• Loan Requests to be less than amount of STEEM from a potential POWER DOWN from loan requester.

Steem Loans will offer loans based on what comment loan proposals which will be voted on that go to the top with most value and votes. This will serve as a potential way to get a loan against your STEEM POWER so you don't have to POWER DOWN.

Could some form of smart contract be utilized to serve as a collateral precaution. Should an honor system be used initially? Is this idea even viable? How might such an idea be implemented?
