jurov: phf there is no judge
mircea_popescu wuld accept such "verdicts" from. remember when rota decided in similar way?
PeterL:
mircea_popescu what about the part of the listing that says shares will be paid out a minimum of 0.00001 ? If selling the domain+code does not cover the 17btc shortfall and this minimum, are you and kakobrekla expected to pay this out of pocket?

mircea_popescu: hence my comment about fragility. there are two main threads here that would-be bitcoin entrepreneurs must heed quite closely. one is that - your expense structure is not either a) in your own control or b) specificable. for as long as your business model involves bitcoin as it currently exists, you're doing the economic equivalent of linking remote dlls.

mircea_popescu: does the bbet receiver have the authority to determine the cut-off date for acceptable wager resolutions and to refund any bets submitted but deemed "too far away" for the receiver to reasonably hold the funds in escrow ? or is this line in the sand to be drawn by you and kakobrekla ? << in general this'd be the receiver's authority. a reasonable path is you know, get the domain, put up

mircea_popescu: there's been if memory serves exactly one case of delisted company on these grounds, bvps.
ben_vulpes:
mircea_popescu: bbet contract 3.1d refers to 3.1b, correct?
ben_vulpes: perhaps
mircea_popescu plays a different game here though.
ascii_field: so if receiver decides that all bets pay properly and
mircea_popescu gets a 17 btc haircut,
mircea_popescu will live with this?
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: for that to happen, the receiver'd have to invalidate
mircea_popescu's charge.

mircea_popescu: unless i misread, there is no way it can fully pay out bettors

mircea_popescu: anyway, to be perfectly clear, i don't think kakobrekla did anything wrong at any juncture, nor am i privately holding anything against the man. while the outcome is miserable, i dun think there's necessarily much that could have been done to prevent it.

ascii_field: eventually either the lizards will move, or
mircea_popescu will grow tired of me, or my health simply gives out, and

mircea_popescu: so importantly - understand that it's in no sense a matter of 'stop being you, be somebody else'. anyone else would confront the same exact problem,, which is to say that this is not able to stand on its own. would work superbly as an add-on product of a company offering this kinbd of thing that can x-sell it.
