is this not obvious?

All I ask is I get the same bet granted to everyone else.

Can I wait until the weekend? I want to get cheap coins from Pirate's desperate manipulation attempt, then double down here with you.

[EuSouBitcoin]

Well if Pirate investors see Pirate posting on here to take Matthew's bet they know they are in trouble.

Was my 1 BTC bet recognized ? yo

Much as I would genuinely hate for all pirate's investors to lose their money (except possibly the ones that kept accusing people of trolling for trying to warn about the risks, though the universe being what it is they'll probably come out in the black anyway), might as well get a small bet in whilst this is still open.

Fuck it, it's starting to look more of a sure thing. I have the same amount in a bet that the US Gov't won't confirm the existence of aliens.

And for a twist -- once this thread gets locked, this position will be for sale. You can buy my bet. On the 20th day, when it's looking pretty damn sure that pirate won't pay out, send me an offer via PM.

Yes!

Still no bets from Vlad or hgmichica (whatever) I see.  The two most vocal detractors of Pirate left.    Guess we know who's just all talk for the future don't we.

[nathanghart]

He made a few guest appearances on the the IRC channel today...though not much information was gleaned. See below for excepts:

<Anduck> when do u think u can start paying, about eta?
<@pirateat40> Anduck, I really thought this initial process would happen faster than it has.

<Swashy> @pirateat40 is a buy blocker.
<EmanuelDeOrtego> Wait
<EmanuelDeOrtego> So pirate needs more Bitcoins
<Swashy> Who doesn't?
<EmanuelDeOrtego> The question is
<EmanuelDeOrtego> does he need more to pay his investors
<pickett> yeah but he REALLY needs more bitcoins
<+grubles> darn it who hilighted me
<+jcpham> grubles
<+grubles> you guys are clogging up my backlog
<+jcpham> it wasn't me
<DutchBrat> shouldn't pirate be a block buyer ?
<bitfoo> DutchBrat: see gpumax
<@pirateat40> Swashy, its going to get interesting the next two days.

<AnonX> latest update on pirate: jack sh** [censored]
<DutchBrat> jack sparrow you mean
* pirateat40 sets mode: +b *!*@ti0011a380-dhcp3917.bb.online.no
* AnonX was kicked by pirateat40 (You're not welcome here!)
<@pirateat40> AnonX sorry, nothing new

And that's basically it.

Well, since you're just giving out bitcoins, essentially, I request that my bet be raised from 20 BTC to 30 BTC.

If that's the case Maged, then use the 250btc limit.  Its free money, right, so why not?

[Portnoy]

Well if Pirate investors see Pirate posting on here to take Matthew's bet they know they are in trouble.

That's what I was thinking.  What's to keep Pirate from making a bet/s ( through a proxy [or proxies] ) and then just waiting longer than 3 weeks... and then use the winnings from the bet to payout?  

Maybe this has already been pointed out in the 20 pages of this thread that I am not going to read all of...  

[nazgulnarsil]

so the max is now 250?

Strongly tempted to increase my bet before the cutoff, tuesday afternoon and still no word from pirate.

I'll have to think about this more carefully.

On condition that a more than a 10% haircut is considered a default, regardless of creditor acquiesence.

Approved.

I may cut that timeline short if things don't start turning up and just lock the thread here soon.
