Honestly its kind of funny to see all the last minute bets going on.

Those who made bets earlier on should get paid out first if Matthew does indeed lose the bet.

I have a feeling that payments will be going out this weekend, so I would advise everyone to get their bitcoins ready for payment to Matthew.

~DonShrents

I have the same feeling, hence why I sent this message to Matt earlier today - just for the record:

"Matt, I already made some side deals to neutralize my bet with you, so in the event pirate doesn't pay I would need the 6K to repay these other people. So right now I'm "all in" with pirate."

So yeah, I've got all my chips on P right now. It seems odd I know, but I think it's actually the most likely outcome based on the evidence as I see it. If I'm wrong I will suffer for it, but I'm taking a stand. As Sherlock Holmes said: eliminate the impossible, and then whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Btw if you happen to know pirate, can you confirm that he has my new withdrawal address for this final account transaction?

ta,
BA

It's impossible that pirate is a scammer?

No, I mean I've thought about this long and hard, and my conclusion is that Pirate will pay this weekend. Evidence includes the fact that his returns are possible, as very trusted bitcoiners know how this could be done. The "impossible" potentials in this case IMO are: (1) Matt actually has this kind of coin and is this crazy or (2) Matt, a key figurehead in bitcoin, would ruin his reputation. I don't think either is likely, so the only final potential is that pirate will pay. Not flawless logic I know, but that's my reasoning and hence why I decided to neutralize my bet. If I'm wrong, I will accept responsibility and eat my losses, and blame nobody but myself.

I have to agree with you. Matt might not always act it, but he is an intelligent individual. As far as I understand, it is very likely Pirate pays out this weekend, or soon.

Based on what?

Remember pirate has to pay all weekly 7% compounding interest for the past three weeks plus all of the bitcoins he owed investors when BTCST closed down.

in under 45 weeks from the day he closed up shop his liabilities with interest compounded would be ALL the bitcoins that have been mined to date.

Impossible. Roll Eyes

After reading all of the posts in regards to "Hunting" and "Spotting" Atlas, it seems as though he has turned out to be as elusive as the G-Spot for many members of this forum, so if he does in fact end up as the thief, it might be safe to say that this time, all hope may very well be gone.

Have you seen all the crazy posts today where they say you're Atlas? Btw the G-Spot's found at the back of a ladies throat.

Well, since this community if not only famous for insane speculation, but also for convicting people before an offense has actually occurred, it's probably best that we get started on tracking down the eventual scammer/hacker who will be responsible for the future theft of Matthew's bitcoins.

What will happen if Matthew's Server gets hacked and all his bitcoins stolen ?

If his non-existent server with non-existent Bitcoin gets hacked, then you will still not get paid at the end of this bet.
