Title: [BitBet] Rejected Asicminer bet Post by: MPOE-PR on May 14, 2013, 11:53:37 PM Whoever proposed this bet:
Quote ASICMiner is currently the world's largest bitcoin mining operation. Their hashrate is public and can be seen here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkPdXsQFT-vIdHRVUjQ5Ql9BQWR6OENLMkhyUktUblE#gid=0 The bet closes yes if their public hashrate exceeds 50 Terrahashes/second before June 1st. Had a good idea but executed poorly. Basically as stated this is a bet on the contents of a webpage, might as well be something like: Quote pastebin.com/blabla says "42" Is there some way to reconstruct this bet based on objective, verifiable criteria?

Pseudonymous Bitcoin, remember? i do not see the point you are trying to make She's saying that you couldn't prove Friedcat is Friedcat. No, I am saying that the biggest problem of Bitcoin (http://polimedia.us/trilema/2013/the-question-of-the-year-in-btc/) is still unresolved (and the 100+ BTC in bounties still unawarded or even vaguely claimed). In other words, you could never know if Friedcat is betting or not, and so the "if impartial" rider sinks the whole proposal.
