Bitcoin Bling Bet

[jackjack]

Yeah a dead man switch is what I had in mind in case the 2BTC are kept in a cold wallet whose key is only known by the escrow

[Dabs]

Should I send the email to them? Or a backup escrow? (to you?)... Maybe to them is better. GPG encrypted. Signed. The message would be something like:

"Hi, you are getting this email because I got hit by a bus. The private key to the escrow address is Kyjelly9293012913. Whoever won the bet should redeem it. Now since I'm probably in a coma, don't go about scamming each other ok? And post pics of the bling hardware wallet."

Also, I saw a 'Bitcoin bling' jewelry site has just opened:

"Stop! Thief! He stole my bitcoins!"

I still can't decide who's the smart guy in this bet: Jim or I.

You could say it's Jim: if he wins, Bitcoin will probably be mainstream, so worth a lot, so his win of 1 BTC will be large. If he loses, Bitcoin will probably have faded or not succeeded very much, so his 1 BTC loss will not be worth a lot. So he can gain a lot, and loose little -- almost a win-win for him.

Or one could reason this way. If I loose, so a bitcoin-bling-wearing celebrity appears, Bitcoin will probably be mainstream, so do I loose 1 BTC, but my remaining coins are worth a lot, so overall I'm happy. If I win, well, that's obviously great -- what could be better than winning a bitcoin bet

So perhaps it's a Win-win--Win-win situation in any case

P.S. I wouldn't have made the bet today as now I think I'll probably loose; but no regrets -- bitcoin seems to be actually going mainstream and I'm quite happy (see above) . I just hope to loose this as soon as possible...

Hmmm, jim618 not logged on the forum for over a year though

[Dabs]

Well, I'm not yet dead, so ... anyway... Jim still the main dev of multi-bit wallet? Maybe he'll show up.
