More on the bittersweet feelings. My taxable account is now down to about 200 notes, total of about $2k left. The remainders are Late notes that probably will not sell and will eventually charge off, along with about 50-ish current notes. Now all that's left is letting it finish winding down. I'll continue to discount what's remaining up to a point, but nothing to incur any significant losses.
My IRA account is winding down- starting to increase the discount gradually to keep the notes selling there. Given what I've seen liquidating both accounts, I think I may be done around March/April 2018 timeframe. Learned a lot doing this. Especially patience.
The liquidation journey has been interesting- I looked at the numbers a few days ago and managed to turn a significant loss into a small profit. Taxes will surely be interesting in a few months as well. (Not looking forward to that...)
Fundrise is up and running and I know what to do when the next (final) batch is ready.
LC Stock is on it's way back up- yeah- looking forwards to a $2-3 swing. Gotta end a somewhat depressing post on a high note.
Good luck to all still here- I try to check things out still from time to time. May still come back in the future if things change. The IRA will stay put, but the "mad" money may return if/when the winds change for the better.
