Is this how it works? I lock up collateral to buy a computer. Let's say 2m sats. Lendasat buys it for me and I can pay it back at a later date when Bitcoin is worth more in USD terms. So when Bitcoin is 100k I can pay back 1.2m sats + your fee to get my collateral back.
What's the liquidation point? When LTV hits 80%? 90%?
reply
The liquidation point is reached once the collateral is not able to cover for the original principal + interests anymore.
Lets assume a LTV ratio of 67% and a loan of $5,000 at the market price of $65,000. You'd have to put up a collateral of $7,500 or 0,1154 btc.
If the price drops to $43,333, the collateral of 0,1154 would have reach an equal value of the original principal ($5,000), thus the liquidation point is reached.
This simple example ignores any fees and interest to be paid, what would change the liquidation price.

67% seems quite low. Ledn is around 80%, and hodlhodl is around 90%.
How long are the loans? Years?
reply
Better option: stack harder, NEVER go into debt and pay when you have enough.

I don't fully understand it yet, but it does look promising! The fees are between one- and two percent and one-time? Or per month?
Is there going to be some sort of calculator?
reply
There is going to be an originator fee of 1-2% and an interest e.g. 1% on the loan. The originator fee is only to be paid once and the interest is to be paid on a monthly basis.
Is there going to be some sort of calculator?
We don't have one yet, but if you search for loan calculator you may find many useful resources.

I think get the concept behind the ad (please correct me if I'm wrong): don't delay instant gratification, delay instant payment.
But maybe you could flip it on its head: layaway and save. (Did you know you can decrease time preference of payment, without sacrifice?)
