1. This thread is awesome!
I was stuck reading all those FUD threads until I came here for some great entertainment. Post faster everyone!

2. Also, I'd be using this thread as a hedge, but I recently switched to GIPPT (which I pulled out of at a 4% loss -- covered by dividends)

3. A personal thank-you goes out to Matthew for providing this service

4. I'm still offering proxy service to users who are not established enough.

Raise your bets people! Matthew, raise your maximum! Someone get me some goddamned popcorn!

The tension is getting thick here. He said he was going to pay on Monday, right?

Please keep it on topic!!  This is a thread for action  Not talk!!

PS.  Who is your backer?

[nazgulnarsil]

he said he would start the process on monday.  According to him he is working out the details to be able to pay people in the order they invested and calculate all the interest payments they are due.

You should create a bet cutoff otherwise I'll be tempted to increase mine come tomorrow

You’ve always been good at seeing a money making opportunity where the rest of us see thin air. I think you have some insider info and you’re pinching a few easy bucks out of a few gullible suckers with the “put up or shut up” concept. More power to ya! LOL

Thanks for the kinds words. No insider info though, just sick of idiots being idiots and wanted to impose an idiot tax.

That's very kind of you, unfortunately, Bitcoin Magazine is not 100% my company so I cannot transfer personal debt like that. Cool idea though. I'd like to pay debts in magazines! LOL

1)  I love Bitcoin Magazine.  I don't even care that my 1st issue took a month - it was amazing - loved the Satoshi origins article. 

2)  I do not know Matthew very well but it seems like this 1 will hurt no matter what business he is in - I do not feel great about getting what I consider a free 100 BTC from a guy who seems to be generally working for good, but is just dead wrong here.

3)  Matt without knowing you very well but hoping to get to know you I advise you stop accepting new bets for a few reasons.  First off, they are all going to cost you money and I just watched some youtube video of the bitcoin show and the host had a mighty somber face when that first bitcoin e-wallet rolled everyone for the coins.  I don't want the future issues of Bitcoin magazine taking that same sad tone.  A second reason you should close betting is because as a function of time your side gets worse and a potential bettor's side keeps getting better.  Clearly you won't accept bets 2.7 weeks in with no payment?  that would just be giving ppl BTC.  Cut of off now IMO, stop the bleeding. 

When a guy owes a milly on a monday and all he has to say is this:

[2012-08-20 18:07:26] <pirateat40> Today is the start of a busy week guys, i'd love to answer all the 200 pm's but can't.  I'm around and you'll know when things start to move.
[2012-08-20 18:07:30] <pirateat40> pirate out

I'm pretty sure it's time to cut off bets and minimize the loss.  I'm sure one of the Bitcoin Magazine guys are going to PM you after this.  Listen to them IMO.
