I paid the bet already as described in my thread. Maybe. But you wrote it in a way ONLY YOU understood - no one else. You're giving credibility to that kind of 5 year-old logic by arguing about it. He's a lying scammer trying to scam people out of their money. What's sad is that he thinks he's not. |

Sorry mate, as much as I'd love to agree with you and all, I'll have to call bullshit on this one. I paid the bet already as described in my thread. On top of that, are you saying if I wouldn't have made this bet, everyone would magically have subscribed?
I look forward to more accusations and butthurt, but it's pretty late here. Let the trolling begin! I have a big day of work tomorrow in various companies that no one even knows I'm involved in apparently. ROFL.
You just single-handedly killed Bitcoin Magazine. I don't care whether you get fired, I'm never buying it. Go to hell. I would have paid you if I lost. |

To hell with your magazine.
Unfortunately, it's not "my magazine". Not sure how many times I'll need to correct that in the future. Please boycott Dove soap since I wash my buttcrack with that  Nice try. Oh, and way to completely screw over Vladimir. To hell with your magazine. |

But yeah still, I'm not continuing my Bitcoin Magazine subscription after this thing. I can't support behaviour like this.
I'll have to reconsider this as well. It's not only my subscription that will be affected though. The site I run is currently becoming a major reseller of Bitcoin Magazine in our country for both subscriptions and single issues. We have to reconsider the whole thing and if we quit it will hurt Bitcoin Magazine much more than a single subscription. What difference would my bet make to your magazine? I must be missing something. To hell with your magazine. Because of your shenanigans I will never buy a single one, and I will tell others to do the same. I seriously considered subscribing myself. |

Theymos gave him the tag. I'm sure theymos is not happy, given that he had a bet.

Thanks for the update, nmteaco. I think your experiences with BTC so far should serve as a wake-up call to the BTC community. Now that all the "he just didn't know what he was doing" and "it's really not that complicated" and "the merchant was uninformed" arguments have been silenced, maybe this community will start to recognize that merchant adoption is perhaps the biggest obstacle to the success of bitcoin. If merchants can't adopt it, BTC will remain mired in all the piss-ant drama that comes with the value of a currency being based on speculation vs fiat gambling (financial scams, ponzis, thefts, and security fuckups notwithstanding). To be certain, I reject the argument that "merchant adoption will magically happen on it's own, sometime in the future (we promise!)". Merchant adoption? That's hard work...isn't it? Yeah, it is. But the reward of the hard work is that when BTC is made valuable to merchants, all of the rediculous ongoing drama that BTC can't seem to shake disappears like a fart in a windstorm. @nmteaco, gotta say it again: thanks for sharing your experiences - and more importantly thanks for being patient with the small-minded who would so easily dismiss your problems WITHOUT providing any solutions. ps - nmteaco...you know Breaking Bad? (ABQ, yo!)  Great post, I agree with all of it. |

I've been absent. Care to share ?
Bitfloor. So...going from hailed as the best tech that could dethrone Mt.Gox to being completely attacked by the peanut gallery in a matter of days ? I love this forum. So true. I laughed when I read that. |

Go back and read my posts...
Well given that you appear to be doing everything in your admittedly limited power to make going back and reading your posts as hard as possible, you'd excuse us for assuming that that is actually the last thing you want. So we'll just have to go by what we remember you saying. If you cared enough to hold an honest and accurate opinion, you'd use the search box and type in "reeses" or do a site search on google. However, informed opinions have little value here. It's much more effective if you quote the whole thing. I'll give you another chance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am a dumbass. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.orgiQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQS97TAAoJEEA+/hj9AfY+skEP/jQl/TKgOO/f57oiM4Drsma4 1QS/clAEapEtNdPZcp1Tn24XFOFn+ZOW/B4YXxifB9LaHEV95tthrja2jUa6MBzI f6IiwxYzEqY+BGCPCoCGCs4KoRkRscqXttL2W3lREZ2fgmwqx50ZP2GEkLplwO/B DpjwHVvCK/zTT44kR4RxB2ycsWafad158FLeTPgZHV503yM8e+WYCAHn6spFYIun DGGfBMibpyY02cHuAHbEf/uTQY1VWuzr7oGAi3HRu7PpQAC4wNizvxKWyzGoB+EI VAn6OZtkiwPSu0qL85Jz71DtcMurC8m+a47QT6juaYbq9ede+M+JMcw4gisDI/Us FtjOfhSnrPi0XdBGSl3By+74UqrZraZNSXSMNQK4SXuZrGAYADqHhslCI9RElmeh 0zIU03r6hUuN9/8x6QgdKSSGcIJw6hEg4DtIM4UR2ayrj/s/Omzi8mim+CgQNGM6 8jNI7pZrQ70sv32SyRR+cTdvSehYjpYkAKNRzZolR+Y50YdySZsIJoOsYdPu8cbv Xt2CTeHYxZTFqlgwca5HwybQjLLBRgbBSc2lflu1MHh+zE2p2qHX7LKwJID7ZHCr 48nzrVbYJ7dm+k5IHF1uFcgBxJmcLlEk/5OWQGd5a9OgdldWghSK7kS3uKTtDvcm jzdOYrFkxRy0l5un++gq =4SXY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Obviously.

I more or less trust Mt. Gox, but I use CampBX much more often. I don't really trust the site much; I rarely keep any funds on there for very long at all. I don't have any reason to distrust them besides that I'm paranoid. Dwolla there is super easy.

Ta da! I'm serious about this bet.
EDIT: The message doesn't include the quotations, it's what's inside of them. Also, this address is nearly 6 btc short of my total bet. As this is (or was) my cold wallet, I have other addresses that I keep online.

Well, so be it.
I for one would LOVE to see everyone's bet money, waiting to pay Matthew.
I would also LOVE to see who has WHAT at stake, out of everyone commenting here.
Most of the people that took the bet with Matthew couldn't pay on the spot, even if they wanted to.
Would you be happy if I dug up my cold wallet and signed a message with it? Most of the outspoken people, on the Pirate situation, don't even have an iron in the Pirate Fire......
PATHETIC.
I have a stake in Bitcoin, and in this forum. I think that is more than enough. |

I agree with you, but maybe bitcoin is only beginning. Maybe other currencies will emerge in the future.
Many other currencies will certainly emerge, but I don't see anything "toppling" bitcoin in the next 20 years. Remember, the people who already own bitcoins are the primary people who would be interested in owning something *like* bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin has been heavily bootstrapped goes a long, long, long way. I don't ever plan on switching. EDIT: sorry for getting way OT |

The obvious one: he has no real reputation to lose. Unless you count bad reputation as a reputation to keep.
He said: "I will pay or take the scammer tag." Scammer tag it is.
Loopholes? In a non-escrowed bet? No, not a one...  Right, but of course I meant something in the language. |

I mean, the credibility of bitcoin community may collapse if we are giving this kind of news to the world?
The bitcoin community already has terrible credibility. There is no greater concentration of scams and scammers known to me. +1 It's all drugs, unlicensed securities, ponzi schemes and simple theft. And that's just on this forum! Maybe I'm a bit naive but, I don't believe it. By other hand why we are all here? Because we are on the cutting edge of THE monetary revolution. And I truly believe that. It's the Gutenberg press, it's gunpowder, it's the internal combustion engine. Bitcoin is going down in history. Deflation be damned. |

The flip-side to my previous statement is that if bitcoin really does function as intended, then all of these scams are to be expected (so bitcoin works! It really is irreversible!).
The fact that people are going to great lengths to steal bitcoins speaks volumes.
