Smoothie, I'm quoting you quoting me quoting you because I'm very serious about paying out according to the rules in my thread OP. I also think it's retarded that you guys think that "not buying a magazine if matthew doesn't pay" affects me in the slightest. It's not my magazine you know  Can you please clarify your involvment with Bitcoin Magazine? I read the Satoshi Superstar's bio where you refered to yourself as "head of the Bitcoin Magazine". I found out about Bitcoin Magazine from your forum pic, which used to be a flashing bitcoin magazine logo. Don't you also write articles for the magazine? In the event that you do not pay up Sunday, I would refuse to fund an organization that is directly involved with you. If you do pay out the $650K+ in bets, I will apologize for misjudging your character, and I"ll be heading to B&N to pick up my first copy of Bitcoin Magazine. |

I'll look out for it this weekend. I'm inclined to buy an issue but if Matthew doesn't pay up this Sunday, I don't want anything to do with the magazine.
I'll buy a year's subscription if Matthew pays out as he said in his bet thread and in PMs.
Less than 48 hours...

Same, I'm buying if Matthew pays out. Hell, I'll be so happy I'll even buy them out most likely. If he doesn't pay with him co-owning the magazine and all, there's no chance in hell I'll ever buy an issue. Guess we'll see! I'll look out for it this weekend.

If I lose and pay out according to the rules in my thread OP, you'll all buy a magazine. Absolutely. I'll post a pic. |

For some perspective, I ordered mine June 29th from RS Online, and I have yet to receive it. The waiting list is longer than a BFL product.

At the rate difficulty is rising, I'd be surpised if you make 15 BTC in 60 days. If these were brand new, that puts them at around $750 break even. Used Singles aren't worth more than $700 at this point IMO.
That would mean difficulty would double in the next 30 days. Do you really believe that will happen? With ASIC testing, anything is possible. Regardless, we are talking a difference of $50. With no difficulty increase at all, the most you are going to get is 20 BTC. Yochdog's offer looks good, I would take it. I'm thinking the market is going to be flooded with singles within the next 30 days going for sub $600. Not everyone is upgrading to ASIC. |

Is it possible to point each device to a different pool with one instance of cgminer?

Wow, you picked a really horrible time to give pirate 10k. |

I think PPT operators should bear in mind that if they choose to negotiate with pirate on behalf of their investors, they'll probably be leaving themselves wide open to liability if the investors are not happy with the outcome or if they do not vigorously pursue any and all means possible to recover their investors' money, up to and including taking legal action against pirate. I'd strongly suggest that the PPT operators seek legal advice regarding their own position should they advise their clients not to deal with pirate directly.
I don't think PPT operators are even considering such a thing. What we're seeing though is outright -blockage- of client information. Chaang Noi is refusing to allow his own clients to contact Pirate even if they -want- to. That's going to make calling my bet a bit difficult to say the least, if everyone got paid except Chaang Noi's clients due to his stubborness.  Matt, I hope your not setting up to win the bet on a technicality.. If the investors don't get at least 90 percent of their money back and it was agreed by the investors and Pirate, (including all interest owed up to the minute of the deal, (if there is one)) then he is in default and is fraudulent.. Now, if Pirate says, i ill give you guys 50 percent as long as you take my deal. I would consider that being held hostage and he is in default.. The way its written, if Pirate doesn't pay at last 90 percent back and its agreed upon by the lenders, then Matt would win.. Anything less, then the bettors would win..Plain and simple.. AR 90% would be a loss as well, the bet was that pirate would repay 100% and nothing less. |

Of course pirate wants to pay the bond holders individually. I'm sure a large amount of the bond holders purchased the bonds at significantly lower than face value and would be pleased to get something from pirate. However, if I purchase a 1 BTC bond for .50 BTC, and pirate settles with me for .75 BTC, that is not 150% payback, that's 75% payback, and Mathew's bet is lost given the original terms. Given the original terms of Matthew's bet, if anyone settles for less than face value of the bonds, the bet is lost.

Matthew, since your bet was 100% payout, and some bond holders are settling for less than 100%, haven't you already lost your bet?
Didn't his bet refer to pirate paying people 100%? If people have sold their debt to someone else for less, pirate no longer owes them anything - the full amount is owed to whoever bought their debt. Regardless of who owns the bond or what price they purchased it for, pirate needs to pay the full amount to the current bond holder for Matthew to win the bet. if anyone has received a payment less than 100% of the bond's value, Matthew loses the bet. No need to wait until September 9th... I just want to make sure the terms of the bet aren't dynamic in favor of Matthew. |

A few more solid bets and maybe Matthew can pay off pirate's debt himself? No one in their right mind would take bets after they've already lost. Pirate admitted default today...

so, that means he's stealing all the money?
To me it reads, "If you want the money sue me bitches!" I might be wrong. Or... I'll be long gone by Friday at midnight, do some busy work while I pack my things. |

If I win the 10,000BTC bet and I pay for 50,000 issues of the Bitcoin Magazine to be printed and shipped, would you accept one?
Of course! But you are not going to win... How much is a yearly subscription to Bitcoin magazine? If I win my 10 BTC bet, I'm willing to put some of those winnings towards a subscription. |
