Maybe Vandroiy can put up a 5000btc bounty on pirate's capture  Smiley

I think Vandroiy should give me a cut, since I helped him win (I will settle for 2560 BTC)

Howdy,

As most of you know the infamous Vandroiy and myself entered into a wager for 5,000 each (10,000 BTC total).  If you missed it, you can check it out here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91661.0.

With the knowledge of what he was up against I must say that I respect Vandroiy’s commitment of following through and placing his money where his mouth is.  It’s rarely seen on the Internet and I commend him for it.

With that said, I simply wouldn't have made the wager unless I knew exactly what the outcome would be.  So the time has come for Vandroiy to make his final decision.

Vandroiy has the following (2) options to choose from:

  • Concede the wager to me (pirateat40) per the details below.
    • Vandroiy: Signed document confirming the action to concede the wager.
    • pirateat40: Signed document accepting Vandroiy’s action.
    • pirateat40: Will donate the entire wager balance (10,000 BTC) to a charity of the forums choosing.

  • Don’t concede the wager and chance the outcome of Aug 14th.
    • pirateat40: Nothing changes and pirateat40’s winnings (5,000 BTC) go to the charity of the forums choosing.

Vandroiy has until Thursday at 5:00PM CST to make his decision.

Let the fun begin.

long time ago.
Vandroiy of course won.
nope, its there and is linked to in the OP, is it not?

This thread was a weasly attempt by Pirate to back out knowing what was coming and the realization that he had actually placed 5k in escrow to cover the bet just sinking in.... YARRRRRRRRRR

If you're not excited by the idea of being an early adopter 'now', then you should come back in three or four years and either tell us "Told you it'd never work!" or join what should, by then, be a much more stable and easier-to-use system.

yes ,it was dirty trick to try and get vandroiy to fold the bet but actually those 5000 coins were BTCST coins until investors get paid in full

did pirate personally lose them ? probably not

so you can see how easy it was for him to gamble 5k outta of the btcst  fund

Not entirely baseless. Read the article, especially the "Red flags" portion. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, it's not a platypus.

Yeah, probably one of these:

Yes it was.  They used a trusted escrow.
