ty to Jon for the article, big ups to BitZino & SatoshiDice. IMO all 3 of us are doing bitcoin gaming right - and all of us in our own way. Let's make bigger waves in 2013 boys. |

Congratulations to user 94be0cd6ff who gets to walk away today with a Jackpot of 22.36 BTC for hitting a Royal Flush betting 0.005 * 5 credits. I hope we have many more winners in the near future! Also, we also just hit our 200,000 Games Mark! Thank you to everyone who has played and helped us grow!  thank you once again BTC vid poker! I was having a few beers last night in between diaper changes, getting some work done. I deposited 3.33 coins and of course click autoplay / auto-double 50% / fastest. boy can that thing suck down 3.33 coins quickly. Much like Marshawn Lynch, I have so much determination though. I re-deposited what turned out to be a very lucky 4.20 coins, the Bankroll in .005 credits was up around 1000 when I went to bed, just leaving autoplay running and sort of wondering if it stops when you hit a royal (I know I hit a royal before on the .001 version, but I was so fired up to win those 2 coins I really forgot if auto-play stops or not when it hits. Always willing to gamble, and really scratching that late-night degen urge, I left autoplay running with about 1000 credits in it when I went to bed, and it *almost* hit right at 4:20am which of course when mixed with the 4.20 btc deposit would mean that it's all rigged for thc-based gambling wins.  ty BVP / already cashed out & confirmed into my wallet, instant as usual. |

I'm in. further more I'll do the coin flip for 1 full btc if mrb wants to  you can ustream it if you really want or skype to me and I can ustream it on my channel. I know C is not the only 1 to generate escrow codes, but since no one else has really played with this tech I would trust dooglus to download that btc-address.zip from C and generate us the a & b escrow codes (and in essence agree to be our arbiter) |

Grr. I keep missing the fastest finger by mere seconds! Now that I've logged into my Seals account, I may as well play poker for a while. There's a business strategy behind this fastest finger.  some1 throw me a .gif or just .png of "Fastest Finger" with the Seals Logo and a fast finger and I'll ship you a 500 chip code PM-style so you can finger as slow as you want by making the fastest .gif or .png.
I'll give it a go. here is the current mark to beat:  doing the codes in image form now - some of those redemptions are just too fast smart fucking kids these days #2codes for this image, and I sent the maker of said fast finger image a personal 100-ball for these awesome efforts |

Played last night. First online poker since Black Friday. What a great feeling.
I hope more people start playing.
and if you are the #fastestfinger you could take this code Jan-WFLMJQA^HPand toss it into your "my account" section and if you were the first user to do so you would get 100 chips for free from SealsWithClubs! This is one of the few threads on bitcointalk that keeps paying out to the FASTEST FINGER some1 throw me a .gif or just .png of "Fastest Finger" with the Seals Logo and a fast finger and I'll ship you a 500 chip code PM-style so you can finger as slow as you want by making the fastest .gif or .png. |

mrb - do you want to do a 1 bitcoin bet on something arbitrary that is happening tomorrow (like a cricket match or some other sporting event with a 50/50 chance, really anything with a spread) and do it with the escrow system, generate one winner, and basically verify it works before we start dumping coin after coin into a black-hole btc address? (I'm not saying C isn't on point here, I'd lay 10-1 that this shit works perfectly, but you know, just good practice to try it with 1 coin before increasing the bet to $1700 USD and climbing)

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/bfl-forum-miscellaneous/690-13-jan-2013-asic-update-discussion-thread-19.html#post11034Lets not get into a pissing contest on here about bets and such... we can leave that for Bitcointalk. Kudo's to Avalon for shipping... something. We'll see what is actually received in a few days presumably. If they are going to take several weeks to ship a mere 300 units, only the first few people will ever see a ROI on their units. The rest will be sunk I suspect once the reality of 400w power consumption hits them square in the face. Then summer rolls around and you have to pay to cool that 400w per unit, increasing your operating costs. Good luck with that. IMO this thread on the BFL forums is :solidgold Josh is charged with keeping the crowd calm. BFL has shown a history of being very unprofessional towards their competition, but now to me it seems Josh's denial is so palpable I could make a smoothie out of it. Here he is somehow found a way to rally the crowd, talking shit about Avalon, the first company (likely) to ship ASIC bitcoin miners. Without one Avalon device being delivered, pictured, or tested Josh has already damned their customers to high electricity costs. All while holding the millions. All while not shipping anything at all. All on the heels of showing up to CES with very close to nothing.

Casascius: ok.
Micon: let's raise the stakes. I feel confident about using Casascius' self-escrow app. Can we put down at least an additional 90 BTC each?
I am interested in betting more as well. Some of my close poker associates are watching the entire BFL thread & this bet thread. Give me 24 hrs and let me see how much interest there is with my friends, and either way I'll personally fire more coin on BFL failure on a very similar statement than what we already have. anyone like dooglus do that forensics on that address yet? Kinda wanna see what happens / if it's cool / if it works, etc. |

No Micon, I do not want to make the same bet you and MRB made. That bet is also based on whether they meet specific MH/Joule requirements, which I do not want to bet on. I want to bet on them delivering an ASIC device that works (creates valid hashes for the Bitcoin network) by the end of 2013, regardless of speed or power usage to at least two forum members that prove they are running (video or pictures or ??).
If you believe they aren't going to deliver (which is what you keep stating over and over again), you shouldn't have any problem with this.
When making a wager, both sides must agree. If you look at mrb's and my discussion, a standard practice is to suggest terms, then refine on both sides until both parties agree. To have a 20 coin bet with me I would like: -- statement of a certain Mhash/Joule that proves that this BFL ASIC is a significant step up from the current top miners - that is the point of ASIC - to hash the proof-of-work problem much faster and more energy efficient than current FPGAs, as I understand it the current top dog - they claim ~ 20x-30x as fast right? current FPGA top metrics around 25 Mhash/Joule? Let's find a number you and I are both comfortable with it - as your statement reads, BFL could ship you some thumbdrive that creates 1 valid hash using your CPU and you would win the bet. Also there is no need for taunting - I won't say to you "why won't you bet me at same terms if you are so sure BFL will ship an ASIC based on specs they describe?" - I will simply go back and forth and list out the terms that would make me accept the wager. What about a statement such as 10x shipments at 5x current top Mhash/Joule ratings? And excuse the newb-ness to mining, but what is top Mhash/J ATM? it is FPGA cards? Fair enough - I shall taunt no more. I'll bet that BFL will put out at least as efficient as Avalon's advertised specs. So that's 400w @ 60GH/s. Is that agreeable? It is a vast improvement over even FPGA's, where 60 GH/s would consume almost 6,000w. I'd rather not go as high as 10 end customers, simply because it might be difficult to find 10 individuals willing to post proof of ASIC delivery. I'm not sure that there's even 10 different people who have posted pictures of FPGA's. So then, my new bet proposal is this: I'll bet 20 BTC that BFL will ship out an ASIC miner capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3 end customers by the end of 2013. You have a bet if you make it by 7/1/2013 - they said they ship in Feb. and I don't want to wait all year for this bet to settle. Those 40 coins could be worth $10k by then and I may need a WSOP main even buy in I feel 7/1 is more than fair given the current timeframe directly from BFL, it keeps everything nice and clean for me, and even allows you months and months of further delays past their posted timeframe. If BFL is real, this seems like an easy win for you under these terms. Ok, I can agree to those terms. What's the next step? I don't entirely understand Casascuis' escrow system yet... Casascuis would send us 2 parts of an invite code - one starting envsomethignA and one starting envsomethingB we both put the codes as either the "payer" or the "payee" and we generate the same bitcoin address. When one of us conceeds, the loser sends the winner the invite code they don't have. Winners puts both codes together in this btc-address program C will have to give you to download and somehow that generates the private key and then somehow those coins can then move at your whim. I hope |

I need btc investors with valid MP loadable prepaid debit cards to receive the profits of my business.
8% is the profit share for your half of the work (getting the BTC, Getting a MP loadable Debit Card).
It should take less than 24 hrs to get you the $$$ after you get me the BTC. Then you can repeat as fast as you can convert the $$$ back into BTC.
See sig thread for more info.
1) I suppose this falls under "gambling" given the incredibly small amount of info and illogical 108% on your money every 24 hours. 2) See above post for possible reasoning 3) Mods, toss this in the total-scam lending area? I believe it is called "long term offers" even though none of them lasted for what I would consider a long term. |

that is hash for this bet. We both got it with our separate codes.
sending 10 coins to it now / hope this shit works.

Ok, I installed Mono (and libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil which is needed to run casascius's app), Micon sent me the payment invitation code, and I used the Be a Payer tab to generate the same address as Micon: 1MmwAtYGs3ZGEtE8VKQFzcKufLXnFZSNyD ... so in theory I could pay that. But Micon, I would prefer not giving casascius the payment invitation, so please regenerate a new one. Casascius: when clicking the Done button to generate the Bitcoin addr, the app throws an ugly warning which doesn't make sense to me: The Payment Invitation Code appears to have been generated from the same Escrow Invitation Code you entered, and not its mate. You might be verifying a Payment Invitation you produced yourself, rather than one produced by your trading partner.
I did not produce the payment invitation myself, Micon did! firing now, using C's same escrow invite code to generate a new something I will Pm to you shortly |

Do you get many players for your tourneys?
our saturday .1 btc buy in (100 seals chips) gets between 40-60 players our Sunday 2 btc buy in (2000 seals chips) named the "BIG BTC" usually gets right around the guarantee, or about 30 players. Our record is 42 I think. Seals is primarily a cash site, but I'm working hard to build the tourney structure. The site traffic seems up month over month, and our tourney attendance reflects that as well. |

If anyone would still like to wager on the legitimacy of BFL, I would really like to hit the hash on C's system and see how this works.
I'm not calling out mrb or anything - he is likely very busy - seems like this thread wouldn't be at the top of his to-do list each day - and it looks like SgtSpike wanted a bet that heavily favored him and lost interest.
I am more excited to use the escrow system than anything.

Definitely look like downvote bots.
confirmed for bot: >check downvote count, 31 downvotes >create new account, upvote, still 31 downvotes >refresh 2 seconds later, 32 downvotes seems legit This is type of company we are dealing with: solely focused on damage control, increasing spending on advertising to increase total $ in pre-orders coming in. They are either gambling with the pre-order monies hoping to find ASIC sourcing that meets specs promised or they just know it's game over and plan to cut-and-run, but still taking max pre-order monies all the way down. |
