About ten minutes, given his poker ability.

The WSOP is an all encompassing time of ultimate busyness for poker players.  Its like trying to get the attention of a CPA the week before April 15th in the USA.

I don't think the winners of this bet are at any risk As if it goes too long the escrow will settle it, and it is not unreasonable to expect some time for Micon to research the claims. 

If you do ask the escrow to settle it you should expect he will have to do the same research.
Well, that's fine and all, I just... I mean, how long does WSOP actually last for someone in Micon's position?

Micon welching on a bet... Who would have thought?

I think it's time to invoke the escrow holder since Micon is clearly not honest enough to actually pay up voluntarily. Not that it is any surprise from that sleazy character. He doesn't call himself a degenerate for nothing.

LOL.  No but really, I expect he'll be releasing the funds soon enough.

Micon: me too, I won our 200 BTC bet (150+ Mh/J), which was on the same terms as SgtSpike. For the exact terms, see links in post
 #1 of this thread.


I fully expect to pay the 150 bets in the next few days.  I'm sure you can see from my twitter I'm directly in the busy season.

I must do my own research before paying these, but I will do my best to get this done quickly.  When I win I like to be paid promptly, when I lose I like to pay quickly so the other side feels the same.    I am not stalling trying to pull a "luke Jr" crazy technicality or anything I simply must verify for myself before sending codes worth ~$45k

Micon, I believe I have won our bet!

Way to go SgtSpike.

Gigavps - reports 5 GH/s @ 30 watts = 1.66 MH/J

I have indeed received a jalapeno and it is in correct working order.

You can see it running here -> http://gigamining.com/?ref=60&rig=3

Those are three customers who have posted pictures (or video) to verify hashrate, and as far as I know, none of them are employed by BFL or have been to BFL labs personally.

In the spirit of full transparency, I have been to BF Labs headquarters at both their old and new locations. If that disqualifies me from being used as evidence, so be it.

It shouldn't matter much though as plenty of others are starting to receive jalapenos and things are looking up for BFL delivering the rest of their product lines.

Nice work SgtSpike.

I don't have any power data, but my 4 Jalepenos are putting out 22GH/s.

A 7th report coming in, this time in video format.  Looks like 29 watts (near the end) for a Jalapeno.

EDIT:  And an 8th here, 5.9GH/s at 30 watts:

Don't forget me either... Wish I had a fat stack bet like the other two. 10 coins will do! Good luck in the tourney by the way, hope you win enough to offset the loss.

I'm playing at noon, 1500 NL, I doubt it will take me through the weekend to check this.  Any help by users that I trust like dooglus and others would be much appreciated.

I've not been following the whole BFL thing, and am hoping not to have to get involved!  If you guys can't decide between yourself who won then I'm going to have to look at the evidence myself and decide the bet for you, but hopefully that won't be necessary.

Micon, don't pay anything before you make your own test! BFL fraudsters and their sock puppets should not be trusted at all, especially on that forum.

That is fine, but can I have a definite date at least?  Don't want this to drag on forever.

I will not make a winning bettor wait long for me to verify results.  

I do however need to spend a few hours checking this before sending the code worth like $30k now.  Seems understandable.

I expected to lose the 150's after the first few shipments, I believe the most likely result is no-BS me just shipping the code, but I will need to verify this for myself and it will take me hours to do so.

thanks for understanding.
Sure, no problem.  Smiley

Here's a fourth BTW, in case you find some discrepancy with one of the first three:
