fractal: Luke-Jr: and regardless, they didn't want to repeal their bets... they were in here telling me i'm wrong
fractal: No I'm glad Luke-Jr posted that... as you can see on the bitbet comments there were many posts outlining the 'truth' before the bet was closed --- I hope Luke-Jr retracts his statement that I was trying to rip someone off
fractal: Luke-Jr: I said the truth to the other party and the debate was going on for days before the bet was concluded.... I'm glad that clause was in there, i felt morally wrong for a second there... phew..
fractal: Luke-Jr: additionally, theres absolutely nothing wrong with betting on public information, calling it an attempted ripoff is pure hyperbole, i expect more from you
Luke-Jr: (in theory, I know it wouldn't be practical)
fractal: H-boards -- yes. M-boards no. if you don't know the difference, i'll be happy to explain
Luke-Jr: fractal: also, if you made a bet thinking the conclusion was already final, I have no sympathy for your attempted ripoff
fractal: "I will ship your ordered hashrate regardless (ie. more hardware free of charge) until we fix this issue and can provide 400GH in one unit." Or, "We can't provide 400Gh in 1 unit, so we are doing X instead"
fractal: Luke-Jr: I wasn't prepared to lose. I bet after the manufacturer admitted that the 400Gh unit would not perform as advertised.
dexX7: fractal: i don't ask about the definition of a unit, but want to point out that 408.78 gh/s is not 400 gh/s, which wouldn't be conform with their advertisement which stated "400 gh/s", right?
fractal: dexX7: yes, if it was contained in a single interconnected device -- i.e. 1 unit
benkay_: fractal: because i don't trust you.
fractal: benkay_: absolutely i'll take that bet. I'll have to word it better tho
benkay_: fractal: i'm going to bet 1 btc you can't ship a betting site that beats bitbet's committed coins for a rolling three month period
Luke-Jr: fractal: it didn't? from what I'm reading, it outperformed advertised specs
dexX7: fractal, i think you do have a point. though resulting the bet in "no" would have been far worse imho. thus instead of arguing and calling it fraud, i suggest you should put your effort into creating guidelines or similar to prevent fuzzy situations like this in the future.
Luke-Jr: fractal: I have to agree with the bet conclusion in this case, sorry.
fractal: pankkake: i am here specifically for you. infact i will change nicks tomorrow and complain about the bet every day i see you in here for years to come. congratulations.
pankkake: I thought after the bet he would finally shut up/grow up
fractal: No. My goal is to spread word on the forums about the bitbet fraud, and then launch an exact clone of bitbet.us with 0% fees. I will then short BBet on MPEX and profit as it dwindles to zero.
fractal: benkay_: my job is to warn others to avoid the site so they dont get robbed/scammed/defrauded... and i will continue to do this daily , for years to come. bitbet is welcome to do the right thing and pay out no bets and the noise will go away
fractal: benkay_: its not a matter of being a sore loser -- if i lost id be happy to congratulate the winner and move on. --- its a matter of being robbed / scammed/ defrauded
MCM-Mike: this is what I thought
fractal: dexX7: I short BBet stock.
fractal: and, i've already started coding a bitbet clone with 0% fees, and a transparent bet deciding process
fractal: and if they refund, I'll be happy to write a positive article about them making up for their mistakes
fractal: I will spent the next 5 years posting and re posting this until Bitbet refunds all 'no' bets from their own pocket
benkay_: more chips than were expected though i think was complaint
dexX7: they did meet the power specifications, i.e. < 1 w / gh/s?
mod6: i've been doing a software architect contract job for the last 2.5 years. finally done with that now.
kakobrekla: yeah i drove all night just to get finger up my ass
mod6: i thought i read in there somewhere too that kako showed up at this scammars "office" or "factory" in his neck of the woods and it just didn't exist.
kakobrekla: i didnt order anything but i get some chips from the first batch free of charge
mod6: did u ever get the fury that you ordered kakobrekla? or am i mistaken that you ordered one?
mod6: i was just kidding to, you guys are on top of *
mod6: i think my cable modem is faulty and loses blocksync with the CMTS. got a guy coming out today to check it out..
mod6: yeah. i remember such from previous months. thats ok. no problem at all.
kakobrekla: that last for more than a month i ment
kakobrekla: yeah mod6 it seems to be picking up speed, bbet i mean
mod6: i should have just checked trilema, didn't realize that the statement was published on the 3rd, and the one for s.mg on the 5th.
kakobrekla: i dont do that, i just sign statements and kick butt.
kakobrekla: i guess the divs will follow shorty if they are not out yet

kleeck_: But I can't really talk about this any further.
kakobrekla: i see a nine and a four
pankkake: what kind of numbers? I live sevens
kakobrekla: i think sex slaves offer best ROI
kleeck_: I'll probably need about $3M to get started. I have to pay at least two other men/women to sample the worlds prostitutes and get them to accept Bitcoin.
kakobrekla: where do i send?
kleeck_: Working on a business plan for a Bitcoin prostitution network. It'll be called BitCock or BitPuss, respectively. A whole network of whores who accept Bitcoin and I'll connect them all through a nice Web/Mobile UI.
kleeck_: I DONT HAVE AN ASS, YOU ASS!

ThickAsThieves: i can tell you my wife would let ME move for a period of time to make shit happen, that has already been approved
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone managed that yet.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this will be unpleasant to hear, but as far as i can tell if your fambly won't follow you to the ends of the earth you don't have a fambly.
mircea_popescu: and people are lazy. they know i'm right when i tell them to just leave that place, but... leave ? to go where ? etc.
VanCleef: i suspect very much so
VanCleef: true, i dont have that problem hey
VanCleef: i dont want any respect
mircea_popescu: VanCleef who cares about the marketplace ? i'd read it. what do you want the applause of the mob for ? cicero knew better. you want the applause of the people you respek.
mircea_popescu: i guess it sounds hypocritical seeing how i made tons over the past coupla years, but hey. tis true.
mircea_popescu: they work because they like what they do. i'm not here because of whatever much dought.
mircea_popescu: if i am i do a horribly sucky job of it.
ThickAsThieves: i thought it was you
mircea_popescu: i'd take it about five hundred times. greatest currency in the world we don't have a fucking blogger. where's our drudge already.
ThickAsThieves: all those people are busy making better money elsewhere i guess

kleeck_: You ask him. I don't give a shit.
kleeck_: Thanks for reaching out Kleeck. I am planning on adding these tonight. The large number of product options adds some complexity that needs to be addressed.

mircea_popescu: yeah i was thinking, these new designers are so fucking dumb they can't even match the hat and shoes when there's nothing else there.
kakobrekla: well first main was just saying if he is nuts, then he asked who are those scammers and i wrote to him (who and why and when). no response.
