The game is quite simple: Whoever predicts the day and time Matthew N. Wright deletes his account* on the BitcoinTalk forum (or comes closest to it), wins all the Bitcoins in the address above.

---

How do you play?

You simply send Bitcoins to the address above with the last digits corresponding to the date and time you believe Matthew will leave in the Middle-endian (month, day, year; e.g. 04/22/96) time format. If you match the date he deletes his account or come closest to it, you will be sent the jackpot.

Let's say I believe Matthew will delete his account on 12/12/2012 at 12PM:

I'll send .12121212 Bitcoins to the address above making my prediction, with the last 4 set of digits being the specific time.

Please note that a specific time is optional. If you do it, it must be based on 24 Hour time (e.g. Midnight = 24:00).

Let's say somebody else also believes Matthew will leave on this date. They can simply bid a little more at .011212121212 Bitcoins. If Matthew happens to leave at or nearest to that time, the higher bidder will win and the jackpot will be sent to the corresponding address.

This will all be verified through the Bitcoin blockchain that cannot be arbitrarily modified, viewable at http://blockexplorer.com/.

What if you just want to increase the chances of Matthew deleting his account by giving such an action greater monetary incentive? Simply dump Bitcoins into the address without an intelligible prediction.

Why should we trust you to payout the jackpot to the correct winner?

I have an excellent reputation on this forum. My greatest example includes taking out a 100+ BTC loan from the moderator Theymos to short-sell Bitcoins. Every Bitcoin was returned. Contact me for additional references.

Anyways, I will be curious to see how this turns out. Have fun!

Would it screw up your game terribly if I deleted my account before anyone deposited?

Also, why do you think everyone handles conflict by deleting their account like you?

This was very poorly thought out game overall in my opinion. As goons can prove, I still have accounts at websites where people have literally tried to murder me for my bad attitude and trolling.



The only way my account will be deleted is if theymos deletes it. That however would mean no one wins (including theymos <3)

You could "predict" the time you delete your account and claim the jackpot for yourself.

Wow guys, come on. All you do is rip on each other. Why not put your energy to productive use? Both of you has contributed in the past, and you could do it again. Just sayin...

I think Atlas has a great potential for writing and possibly even management over time. I am not ripping on him.  :-\

I do think this thread is a joke though. No one would seriously donate to me deleting my account fully knowing I can create a new one instantly.

What if you delete your account again before he does? What if he never deletes his account?

I am not. To answer the latter question, the monetary incentive or lack of therof will sit indefinitely.

I hope you hold yourself to that first bit

Without question.

How many poorly-specified contests are you going to attempt to set up?  This is at least the second one where time of day is critical, but again, you've failed to specify the timezone the contest will be judged in.  You're an idiot.  Given that you can't even think through the rules of your contests before announcing them, why would anyone expect you to actually follow through?  You'll just come up with some lame excuse and close it down.

Heh. I always go by GMT.

Hi Atlas, please help me send 0.001212121212 Bitcoins.  How do you send that many? ;)

Heh, you need to remove a couple of zereos from the front.

Given the questions of your trust worthiness in the pass. 

I hope this is a joke, a very very poor joke given the topic..

Atlas.. think before you post..  please..


If its not a joke and your even remotely serious.. and actually expect people to send coins..wow..  I've never saw stupid like that..


I would pretty much have the answer of if your a troll or not..

I am trustworthy.

Ahahahahahaha.

Show me one victim. One.

Well, I could bet just before deleting your account...  ;)

Wait until the pool is a little bit more full, first

I bet 0.00000069 that Atlas is retarded.

The transaction fee was 742 times the size of my bet. Do I win a prize?

Is that an over complicated way of saying "when Matthew's account is deleted" or does this specifically mean if it's deleted by moderator (like 'suicide by cop')?

Also, any word on the domain you're giving 'as a gift'? You seem to be ignoring my inquiries, which to normal people would suggest a lack of intention to provide.

Probably he intends this to work like an assassination market. Mods can't delete accounts, though, and no admin would do so and also collect the bounty.

I take that as an intent to conspire with a mod to collect the bounty that I have so generously placed. I shall be filing fraud and conspiracy charges on the morrow. Probably some for libel and defamation of character, as well as assault and intimidation. In for a penny, in for a pound. This is going to get ugly.

Which would mean the condition "deleted by moderator" can never be reached which in turn leads to the jackpot never being paid out. Which in turn means the whole thing is a scam. Which again means that Atlas should be dressed in a nice Scammer tag.

You don't generally delete accounts when you ban someone though, do you?  Don't you only delete them when a poster has removed most of the content and then asks a mod to delete the account, leaving the remaining posts as showing "Anonymous" as the poster?  Matthew's ego's far too large for him to ever ask you to do that.

Another day, another post by Atlas begging for people to send him bitcoins "to hold".

What's hilarious is you've postulated that Matthew cannot himself bet, but you have no way of preventing collusion.  This is a perfect example of how you spend about half a minute on all your ideas that involve other people giving you money.

So whats the update on the graphics designer you hired for 5 BTC?  Surely if you're trustworthy and offered a good wage, you have something to show for it?

Why is it so relevant to your happiness, Jalum?

No, that's your answer when people remind you that you forgot to specify it.  Every one of these stupid contests you post involves a whole bunch of rules clarification because you don't think things through, and even then, it just gets abandoned.  Have you ever proposed a contest and actually seen it through to the end?  You couldn't even finish your "last post in this thread gets 1BTC" contest.  Face it, you're an idiot and you've never done anything remotely close to displaying the trustworthiness you boast about.

That's your perspective.

Please prove my perspective wrong by linking to contests you've started and finished.

Heh. Several but I don't have anything to prove to you. Your claim has little value to me.

Matthew, it will come when I get a response from KalyHost.

Like anybody is going to trust Atlas of all bitcoiners to pay out on a bet.


Are you insane?  Atlas frequently misuses words and phrases, quite often the the point of unintentionally contradicting his own statements, and I have Korean middle school students with a better grasp of grammar than he does.

It was sarcasm. :(

Any person who visited your website while you were covertly running that javascript bitcoin miner.

You said it yourself in the SA thread, you have no problem with theft as long as you steal only a small amount from each person.  You tried to equate it with conversation, somehow, which only works if you are talking to them to distract them from the fact you are picking their pocket.

So there you go, you are an admitted thief. Further, you even admit that you don't feel the slightest bit of guilt about it. That is more than enough reason to call you untrustworthy.

Funny, for someone so into objectivism, you really have a hard time getting how your reputation has made you a total joke here.  You really haven't completed anything.  How's that Woolong device going?  By your timetable, the prototype should be complete.  Post some videos of it in action.

Retarded ass thread perfect for the off-topic section. Good job Atlas!
