Discussion about 10,000BTC Bet (Official)

[Hexadecibel]

the bet ends 3 weeks after August 19, 2012, 04:49:20 PM, so that means it ends on September 9th, 2012, 04:49:20 PM KST (Korean Standard Time, local to me).

So the rest of you can keep track:

Oh the irony of the keyboard warriors waiting 2 weeks and 6 days to research their bets hot off the heels of barking at others for investing in pirate. 

More like 3-4 days. Let's not forget these posts

Well I guess you are right in a way. The people that spoke up knew betting with you would be a waste of time and didn't bother. The "irony" would be most of the people that were betting with you were people that had invested in pirate. So they aren't even the people you wanted to "teach a lesson"

Matthew:

Since there are so many haters on this board, would you please lock this topic and announce a move of all further discussions regarding this bet to an IRC channel (something like #MTENK) where you could post increasingly-infrequent cryptic updates and then finally just disappear altogether?

[herzmeister]

now I know where Pirate and Matthew are coming from.

The countdown is indeed on.

Well thanks for the crazy soap opera while it's lasted! Good luck Matthew!

I hope Matthew didn't forget that, regardless of whether he was serious about paying, or whether this was just some stunt to teach people a lesson, his actions goaded a bunch of other "innocent" bystander pirate supporters to make side bets similar to Matthew's. So even if he doesn't pay out, those other people who had little to do with him will also be getting screwed in the process.

Also, I'm disappointed that, for taking Matthew's bet (albeit only for 20BTC, since I'd feel guilty taking any more from him), I am apparently also lumped in with the troll group that should be "destroyed."

There are also people who had BS&T deposits who used Matthew's bet to "hedge".
Regardless, as soon as he doesn't pay he can take his scammer tag/ban

I believe there is a lot of things going on just now.. However this will end, this story would be worth of a book. Actually, if I'm ever going to make this site: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105416.0, and if someone writes a book of this, I will grant a free publishing for it!

Personally, I'm waiting a surprising end to this ;-) (not having any own BC's in the bet or BTCST)

I can easily imagine what problems you could encounter, if you trade a big amounts in *two* or more currencies.. and what happens if people start to withdrawal on only one of them.. the accounts should be kept on the same currencies where the real assets are.

Actually, if pirate is legitimte (I believe he is, but could be wrong), seeing the BC rates lately, he might well have earned back what he needs to pay back. Specially, if he got some extra from some stupid bet..

Its the 9th in South Korea.  Matt needs to pay up.

[Rassah]

Not 4pm there yet. Matt is still asleep, anyway.

he had set a time in PM there, like 4:30 or some such.(need to verify)

But, one can see here the time currently in MNW's part of the world;
