You should get his consent before sending more BTC after he sends any.  It's OK to send first if he hasn't sent, because I can always make sure you get your money back if he doesn't participate.  Once he has paid money to the address, I can no longer do that.

As I understood it, any one of the three of you can take control of all the funds so long as one of the other two parties cooperates with you.  So as soon as mrb sends his payment invitation to casascius, casascius can distribute the coins, without consent of the 3rd party.  That's right isn't it?

If you match this 0.1 BTC, I will send 10 BTC, then 100 BTC, then 1000 BTC, then 20000 BTC.

No, you are the one who refused. I privately offered you to bet up to 1000 BTC, and you chickened out  Roll Eyes
No, I have offered you a bigger amount. You are the one that refused and asked for a smaller bet up to 1000 btc. I'm interested in bigger amount sufficient to punish all BFL cheerleaders that are constantly poisoning every single thread that exposes BFL's shady business practices and lies. Someone will pay for all of them. As the most vocal among all the trolls I want you to pay for all of them!

You have not offered anything: you were just trolling / lying. I don't believe you have anywhere close to thousands of BTC. That's why I asked you to prove ownership of a mere 1000 BTC, and you refused! So how could anybody believe you?

Let me use your technique against yourself: I hereby declare I am willing to bet 20 thousand BTC. To get this bet started between you and I, I already sent a very real 0.1 BTC to our escrow address (see the PMs that casascius and I sent you): http://blockchain.info/address/18nG2DCC7DtBeMijVWWWYKmfe6BXXTBsdQ

I have taken the first step: I have bet more than you so far.

Your turn.

If you match this 0.1 BTC, I will send 10 BTC, then 100 BTC, then 1000 BTC, then 20000 BTC. Progressively increasing the amount each time.

But I suspect you are going to come up a lame reason to even refuse to match this 0.1 BTC, thereby proving my point that I am willing to bet more than anybody else, especially more than you.

I would be delighted to have you bet against me, becoin. Come on, time to put up or shut up Smiley Send the BTC to the escrow address like I did!

Thanks casascius.

becoin: time to put ut or shut up: I sent you a payment invitation code. Please confirm that it leads to the creation of the following address, and let's start placing bets (same terms as the ones between Micon and I): http://blockchain.info/address/18nG2DCC7DtBeMijVWWWYKmfe6BXXTBsdQ

I PM'd a PGP-encrypted code to mrb

It starts with einvaGg87t

I PM'd a plaintext code to becoin

It starts with einvbGg87t

I'm willing to reissue a new code if the fact that I sent one in a plaintext PM is undesirable, simply send me an e-mail address and/or PGP key for the replacement code.

I agree! I will send 20 coins in ~3 hours. Let me know when you are ready to add even more...

I have offered you even more. You refused. So, stop trolling!

Are you changing your mind? If so, casascius, please create becoin and I an (A, B) pair of escrow codes.

I will increase our wager by 20 coins.  I like going slow.  That's how I gamble.  I will hit the hash if you agree.  Same bet / same terms / same hash / 20 coins more.

Micon,

I don't know what can be simplified in the terms of our wager. There is a date, and a basic Mhash/Joule efficiency metric whose only purpose is to differentiate ASICs from other technologies. What do you want to research exactly, in order to bet more? If you have questions, let me know.

mrb,

apologies.  I have a newborn child + Seals got DDoS'd in the last 2 days.

so far were based only on his gut feelings about BFL.
Hmm... A gut feeling, you say? A proven and public record of lies and delay after lies and delay after lies and delay after lies and delay after lies and delay?!... Since when the lesson of the past is a question of gut feelings?

I'm not saying he's wrong.  Just that I think that's why he was delaying.

I haven't been following any of the ASIC stuff, not being a miner, so really have no idea how likely Micon is to win this bet.

I think what he's saying is that he wants to research whether it's likely that BFL won't deliver before he is willing to bet large amounts of money that BFL won't deliver and that his bets so far were based only on his gut feelings about BFL.
