280 BTC total bets between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?)

[Xian01]

You know, it occurred to me that Bryan Micon doesn't even have enough confidence in his claim that BFL is a scam to put up a $9 USD domain name against any amount of BTC.  All he has to do is tell me what he'd sell the domain outright for in USD or BTC and we might have ourselves a bet.  Hell, I'd even let casascius be the arbitrator of when the bet would be satisfied one way or another. 

Bryan Micon is unwilling to bet even $9 that is claim is true.  That pretty much says it all.

 Respectfully, how about you get off these forums, stop with your piss war, and update the official BFL forums thread on what is going on with our orders.

 You are making your company look like a bunch of insecure, bumbling and posturing buffoons.

 Christ dude, be thankful you are working for a private company, because your ass would be fucking fired for how you are conducting yourself as a representative of your company were it a public entity.

Respectfully, how about you get off these forums, stop with your piss war, and update the official BFL forums thread on what is going on with our orders.

How about he gets off both forums and starts doing what he is being paid for?  Perhaps spend some time trying to learn his new business and find out what many people here already know and predicted. More productive than trying to strongarm suppliers you have no leverage over, or posting daily updates which only consists of ever shifting timetables, self pity and blaming others.

- This has become a pathetic dick-swinging contest which you've both massively lost.

Yup, it's a betting thread. What were you expecting, poetry and roses?

[Inaba]

well that's what this thread is about - a bet on when BFL will ship ASICs - and you continue to troll it up.

I am clearly here to wager.  I have 3 bets.  I stand to win $5k+ when BFL continues to miss dates. 

If Josh wants to argue with me about weather or not the BFL scam is a scam, he must do so in the BFL scam investigation thread:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136392.0

Contradict yourself much?  I'm clearly here to wager.  I'm not here to wager about your idiotic dates and caveats, I'm here to wager on your statement that BFL is a scam.  You are refusing the wager.  I told you I would accept your 20 BTC wager after you accept a wager with regards to your own words... but your only response is "Herp derp!  I won't wager on anything but shipping dates!  HERP!!!" 

Yes Bryan, we know you are unwilling to back up your claim that BFL is a scam with any sort of wager.  We are painfully aware of it.  Now, if you don't want to wager against your words, then stop making the claim.  If you fail to stop making the claim, I will keep calling you on your bullshit, plain and simple. 

Retract your statement that BFL is a scam and I'll gladly wager with you on your goofy shipping dates and caveats. 

But here we are, with yet another series of posts by you and you STILL aren't willing to wager a $9 domain name against your claim that BFL is a scam.  It's obvious that you don't believe BFL is a scam at this point, so why don't you just admit it and we can move on?

Declined.  All bets and offers are off the table.  Please leave this thread.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136392.0 that is the BFL / Josh Zerlan scammer thread. Users, please report Josh's posts from here on out.  Please.

[Inaba]

I'll leave this thread when you leave all other BFL related threads and retract your statement.  How about that? 

Until such time, I will be offering you the bet or letting others know you are a liar and a scammer.  Either way works for me.

Bryan Micon claims BFL is a scam, and also claims he is a "professional gambler" but is unwilling or unable to provide any evidence that BFL is a scam and is unwilling to back up his claim with a bet of any sort.

My open offer for a bet:  BFL will ship the promised products within a reasonable time frame (as determined by a reputable member of this community, I propose Casascius). I offer BTC from 100 BTC to 2000 BTC.  I am also willing to accept the domain name joshzerlan.com in lieu of BTC on the part of Bryan Micon.

Any of you could win the bet.

But you're both lost something more important ...

This thread is so pathetic

[Inaba]

Like I said Bryan, I'll leave the thread when you stop lying and leave the BFL threads.  Until such time, too bad, suck it up.

Nine months seems like a more than reasonable time frame, can we expect BFL to deliver in March 2013 then?

so even thought I refuse to bet you for any reason now, you are basically threatening a forum insurgency?  you just refuse to not troll this thread?  

I have bets here.  I stand to win ~$5-$6k already with booked, escrowed bets.  This is a betting thread.  

this is the "Micon claims BFL is a scam" thread:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136392.0  It has 7,000+ views.  It's found in the "Scam Accusations" sub-forum.  

This thread is for wagering on BFL missed shipping dates.

Please, users, PLEASE!  report Josh's posts.  They are clearly off topic in this betting thread.  There is a thread for what he wants to argue with me about, I linked it many times.  I want to turn this back to the betting thread it was for the first 8 pages, gentleman gamblers agreeing to terms and placing escrow'd bets.

B/C of Josh's latest threats, it appears I will need user reporting & mod support to make this happen.  Please help me guys.

If you're really worried about it, as mrb to set up some local thread rules that posts should be bet related, or set up your own thread with such rules. As it is now, Inaba is free to post her.

[Inaba]

Micon... look at your topic you idiot:

"80 BTC bet between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?)"

This thread was NEVER about "BFL missed shipping dates."  One more example of your lying and scamming.  You're so stupid you don't even know what YOU wrote yourself.  If you want to get REALLY technical, you took this thread off topic when you started betting with someone else other than MRB, but that's pedantic.

YOU started this thread and in the very topic it says "Are BFL ASICs real?" at the very least implying that they are not real.  One would logically conclude that based on the thread you linked to, you think they are not real and therefore BFL is a scam.  So my posts on on topic.  Suck it up you lying scum bag.  You troll the BFL threads quite regularly with your offtopic bullshit and lies.  Now you are complaining that I'm somehow "trolling" your thread, which is about BFL and betting and I'm offering you a bet so that you can back up your lies.  You refuse the bet, but continue the lies, so ... I continue to offer the bet.  Stop lying and retract your bullshit and I will stop posting in your thread.

Hey, you're right!  Wow, first time I've been wrong in a discussion with you... mark it down in your book.  So it's not even your thread and you've been bitching about it and acting like it's your thread this whole time?  What a moron you are.  So the title of the thread actually came from your thread where you are calling BFL a scam, but somehow this is a "betting thread" where you dodge bets because you don't want to back up your claims that your thread was the genesis of.  Then you beg and plead with me to leave a thread that isn't even yours.  Hah and Wow...

Yep, Bryan Micon is definitely a scamming, lying piece of shit.

[Micon]

I will no longer be replying to Josh's venomous posts.   Maybe the mods will do something, maybe they will let him troll this thread up.  I suggest the users report his continued posts if you want to see this thread back on track.  I mean look at the first 8 pages of this thread before he showed up!

And now, back to betting.

SysRun - are you still interested?  (I can understand if you are not)

Anyone else want to bet "True" to the following statement?

"Butterfly Labs will deliver 3+ working ASIC units that meet or beat 350 Mhash/joule by 4/1/2013" 

I am willing to bet 10 coins on "false"

This thread is also going to be of value when these bets settle either way - this is, to my knowledge the first actual "field test" of C's btc-address escrow system.  Very cool software indeed, I want to generate more iterations of said test:)

[becoin]

They won't. They are bought. BFL is a big sponsor to this forum. Of course, spending their customers money. You can expect this thread to be locked soon or moved to off topic.

[Zedster]

Lock this crap you all have lost your grip.  Move the hell on.

Venomous posts... this coming from a boy who registered a domain name in my name and continues to lie about BFL being a  scam.  This coming from a boy who trolls every BFL thread with repeated lies.  This coming from a boy who continually changes his story and back peddles after every lie he's stated is exposed.

This... ultimately... coming from a boy who claims to be a "professional gambler" and yet won't gamble on his own statements which he swears SWEARS! are true. 

Right.  Bryan Micon is indeed a scammer and a liar.

Early on in this thread, I was all like



but now I'm just
