Matthew -- if this is going to ruin you financially...I don't want to take your money...if not, I'll buy Bitcoin Magazine with the winnings.
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. Maybe he knows something you dont ........ |

I'll take this bet, even though I find the conditions uncomfortably vague and fuzzy (the most reliable list of outstanding payments is a rumored hashed accounting record possessed by neofutur). If in three weeks you believe you won on foggy, unsubstantiated claims (e.g. by my standards, the blockchain must be used to discount a pirate sockpuppet conspiracy. you might have different standards), I want a magazine subscription for three years.  100 BTC 1ADEPf7M8NifTU6x9eHEDWvNHrJNT5urnj rating != trust |

What's the cutoff?
Up until the bet ends. do you have any problems keeping balance considering the weight of your steel balls? |

I think the appropriate term here would be Brass Balls. Or maybe marbles, as they might be shattered in 2.85 weeks time. |

Bitcoin is a great way to transfer value, but this investment stuff is getting out of hand.

I think the appropriate term here would be Brass Balls. Or maybe marbles, as they might be shattered in 2.85 weeks time. Bismuth Balls would throw one's balance off pretty well. That shit is what I'd call heavy. It also shatters if you throw it against the floor hard enough. Don't get thrown against the floor, Matthew. |

However, Vladimir and many others like to use the "If it walks like a duck" line. I walk like a duck. Quack. I'm definitely not a duck though.
LOL. You definitely do not look like a duck, you look like a horse. But I must admit, you do make lame duck arguments. |

I can confirm that this thread is in fact being posted by the real Matthew.
In that case, Matthew's regular brain is going to be livid when it is returned to his body by the aliens who borrowed it for experimentation. It's fine to have a wild, speculative wager. As Matthew said, you only live once. But when he talks about keeping his offer open for 3 weeks, that makes no sense under any circumstances. |

I think my chances of having lots of free beers in London are shrinking very quickly and asymptotically approach 0 over time. |
