I don't get the enthusiasm, with all the current complaints about quality of security across platforms a loan mainly secured by a pending (ie, not yet and may never be in place) patent seems exceedingly weak. As a small punt the company doesn't seem too bad, although a lot of hype, and little substance. I completely agree! I just don’t understand the clamour to get involved in this loan. A £1m loan request secured by a pending patent, that is valued by the borrower at £2m! I understand that fire protection is topical post-Grenfell but there are loads of companies offering “Mist” systems. Its not that original. Good luck, I wish them success but as they say on Dragons Den, “ I’m out!”

ablrate , please make sure to extend the £10k bid limit to well BEYOND 10am tomorrow! Email from ABL at 23:15:
"A bid limit remains on this loan until tomorrow morning at 10am, which I hope will allow those lenders who have not been successful to date the opportunity of placing their bid."

Site either throws me out after a long wait or tells me
Maybe just as well, I wasn't overly keen on this loan and this might be an omen …

I'm a software developer, so I had some sympathy for the Abl devs when the deadlock errors started to appear. This type of error can be really hard to understand and diagnose, and generally only appears at the most inopportune moments. However tonight is testing how far that sympathy goes!
It's clear some load testing of the system needs to be done. There are plenty of tools that can automate this, although it's not necessarily easy to prepare them.
As a short term fix I'd suggest that some sort of lending queue is implemented. When a new loan is hot your lend goes into a queue and your account is locked until the queue is processed against the main database. The queue processing can be done serially which is slower but less prone to concurrency issues (although in this case it would be much faster!)
Of course, I know nothing about how Abl's system works and am probably talking b******s. But it occupied me for a couple of minutes whilst waiting for the site to reboot.
