Title: Someone needs to start a betting pool on when Mt. Gox will _actually_ open
Post by: magik on June 24, 2011, 03:48:58 AM
You know that other thread with the $300 bet on what a bitcoin is going to be worth in a month or two.

Someone needs to start a betting pool for when Mt.Gox will actually open.  Announced time is what 24-25 hours from now?

We need something like one of those betting pools where there's a timeline split into groups - like say 1 hour increments.  You pay X amount to take an hour slot, say 1 BTC.  And whoever gets it right gets the whole pool.

With 60,000+ accounts and a couple of people checking manually, it will be awhile.

I'm not expecting them to make their new 24 hour ETA

Greeeeeed.

How about we make a wager on something more important, like-- that Mt. Gox won't ever have a security breach. Minimum wager-- everything in your Mt. Gox wallet.

Taking bets first opening!

All Mt. Gox participants are making that wager everyday. In fact, we're making a similar wager with our local wallets it seems.
