I though Prosper had already done this: http://www.rateladder.com/2007/10/30/prosper-files-s1-with-sec/
From Prosper This morning: http://blog.prosper.com/2008/10/15/prosper-filing-registration-statement-enters-quiet-period/
Prosper has started a process to register, with the appropriate securities authorities, promissory notes that may be offered and sold to lenders through our site in the future.The registration filing is a necessary step toward making the secondary lending market available to the community. This is something many of you have been asking for, and we believe the liquidity of a secondary market will make Prosper even more vibrant.
Until we complete the registration process, we will not accept new lender registrations or allow new commitments from existing lenders. If you’re an existing lender, your current lender agreements will be unaffected; your existing loans will continue to be serviced; you’ll be able to track and monitor your loans; and you’ll be able to withdraw funds from your Prosper account.
If you’re a borrower with an existing loan, you will continue with your current borrower agreement and be unaffected by the registration process. If you’re a borrower seeking a loan, you will still be able to create a new loan listing, which we will endeavor to fulfill through alternative sources.
A successful registration can take several months, but we assure you we will do our best to move forward as quickly as possible. Until this process is complete, we’re required to be in a quiet period and will be unable to respond to press, blogger or other inquiries about Prosper or the registration filing until it becomes effective.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and want to thank you in advance for your understanding and support.

When Lending Club went into their quiet period, I asked someone at Prosper about this and he gave me the impression that Prosper had gone through this. It may be a different situation from LC but still, seeing how long LC’s quiet period has taken, I’m rather concerned about how long Prosper’s will take. If they knew they needed to do this, they should have done it earlier.
And why so suden? I just got an invite yesterday, from Prosper, to come loan more money
Bad timing on Prosper’s part. Lending Club just came out of their quiet period last wee and now has a working secondary market (though only for loans that began since Oct 12 2008).
