Whoever bet that is a fool.. I suspect it's Mircea Popescu... good luck winning your bet against when you lose, though. I'm sure he'll force close the bet and negate all bets after we ship so he doesn't lose the 250 BTC.
So whats your ship date again ??Just what all you trolls have been asking for: A solid date: 2nd week of February.
Seems Legit

@CRAZYATES,
Hows that "solid" date working out for ya? Does that Kool-aid come with magic mushrooms that make you think unrealistic things?

Pirateat40 had this same type of confidence that he would win that bet with Vandroiy (whatever his name).
You sound no different.
Just red eyes and shit covered quarters that you hand out at CES.
Looks like I was right. Inaba over confident and couldn't back it up. More hot air please.

I wonder if this bettor has inside information. That's a lot of money to put on the line without some sort of information to back it up.

Come on, Josh/Inaba - put your money where your mouth is! If you are so convinced that you ship in February it will be easy money for you.
Dear Josh, thank you for your Bitcoins. They are very much appreciated

hey so who won?
can we do this bitch again
april first 250 coins?
that duche bag josh and his masters sure aint deliver sheat before that?
March 09, 2013, 07:54:11 AM
I bet all ASICs are scam! None of they will NEVER deliver anything at all! And Avalon too. They said they deliver first wave of ASICs. Where are they? Why no youtube videos of unpacking and working from lucky miners? Why no difficulty increase? Because there are no spoon, Neo.

As the COO of said company it's wholly inappropriate for you to comment on this. Your comments carry weight and could have caused some to lose money by either betting or purchasing equipment from BFL thinking they'd ship soon. It's unprofessional crap like this that makes BFL the target of so much ridicule.
Grow up Josh.

So the real question is, does anyone think that the rigs will be within the +/-10% specs of the bet?
It's pretty easy to overshoot the power usage by 10%...that bet allows them to ship best-in-class ASICs and still lose!
Ya, its not like we are making this shit up. (source)
As your signature says, money talks, and bitbet seems to be telling.

Given the number of things to go wrong in their latest delivery post, the chance they make that date and are within +/-10% of the advertised value rather than +/-10% of an FPGA's performance is probably slim.
I'll probably be in the market for some gently used FPGAs in the window between UPS tracking numbers going out and people firing up their butterfly boxes. If the BFL chips do outperform the FPGAs by the margin advertised, in the worst case I'll have an impressive collection of paperweights featuring Blinkenlights.

Considering that there are still 14561.94104029 BTC on source address, 250btc is a small number for this person.
Edit:
I thought maybe it could be a shared web wallet, mtgox type, but I would say no.

That is the MPEx public inbound address. Any customer that ever withdraws anything from MPEx will likely have at least some coins that can be traced to that address (and in that sense it works as a mixer).

But you have to admit that was a really good long con. Selling expensive FPGAs for a low price to create confidence, collect tons of pre-order money and then brake down when people loose confidence is a clever strategy. You catch the people pirate never catched - very clever!

This is the MPEx Exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). So is this betting with customers exchange funds, or the bookkeeper betting against his own customers (Mircea Popescu partially owns BitBet)?
