This is legit? What is runeks saying? So we will se Inaba with a scammer tag soon?


BFL pays quite a bit in advertising on this forum. There's no chance of the mods tagging Inaba with a scammer tag.

Maybe Josh made this bet because he didn't expect BFL to ship a working unit, so the power consumption would be 0W.

Also remember copper = significantly better cooling

But how can you still intend to put the Little Single in it's original casing?

That heatsink is from a sapphire 7970 toxic 6gb which uses upwards of 340watts.

Here is a gtx 460 heatsink that is made to dissipate ~150watts. Also remember that a gpu is being heated by surrounding computer components whereas a bfl asic is only cooling itself.

Cant wait to see this...

I would guess that IF he pays, the coin will actually come from BFL customers.


FTFY. But I would presume it should come from his own stash. But then again as long as the bet is paid in full is what matters.  Wink

"BFL_Josh (Shoutbox) - We will be honoring the 1000 BTC donation to charity. We haven't decided what charity/ies we will be donating to yet."

You do realize that this has nothing to do with this bet here? This one here is between Inaba and runeks and has nothing to do with the charity donation that you've mentioned.

This thread is indeed hilarious. Josh is such a fail. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1285865

Quote from: Inaba
That's an easy question to answer, Tom.  Because you are lying to your customers.  More specifically, you lied about BFL's power and I called you out.  You are also lying about being "competitive*"  If you had not lied, I wouldn't be here... but there you have it.


I guess in 3-4 month we'll laugh about lots of other statements from Josh. Like his "we will ship 400 units/day".

Fat chance he is going to pay 1000BTC ($145,000) for this bet, hell I doubt he would have paid even if the price was still $15 and not $145!

This is where he either pays up or his reputation is tarnished even more.

Once a scammer always a scammer. We'll see how this plays out. Shouldn't take long for someone to run the OFFICIAL power test and put this bet to rest and see what Josh chooses to do, pay up or become labeled a scammer.  Cheesy

Sure, I re-affirm it.  Our devices would literally melt if they came in at 114w or more.

Thanks Josh for confirming that.

But how can you still intend to put the Little Single in it's original casing?

Inaba:
I'm writing here to publicly restate my commitment to this bet. Since it's been a while, I think it seems like a good idea for both parties to restate their commitment to the wager publicly. I have invited Inaba to do the same via PM.

Thanks for reminding me... I think I have another bet for a more substantial amount with someone but bugger all if I remember who.  I guess I will have to dig back in my posts.

He ain't paying nothing. It's all talk.

He accepted, otherwise he will get a SCAMMER tag.  Grin Grin Grin

He gave runeks 500:1 odds that they would meet their initial power specs in their first line of ASIC products. (which they did not meet)

So on top of the 1000BTC charity donation looks like Inaba owes runeks 1000BTC on this bet too.

Okay well it isn't OFFICIAL yet until someone does a 24 hour test on the power usage.
