Lol what?
Seriously! Some bitcoiners have referred to the bet as a bribe. At the onset, I received a handful of PMs/emails suggesting that I shouldn't post anything at all to secure the win. I opted to post my ass off, calculating ~900 posts. If any one of them contained a lie, I'm sure Josh would have brought it up then, not waiting until January 1, 2014, to start reading ALL my posts penned since November 8th.
I could see how people would see this as a bribe.
Thank you Goat
So has Inaba/BFL_Josh paid you yet for your refraining to post anything negative about BFL
When do plan to visit Avalon or Hashfast
I imagine you get another 10BTC each from them too
Funny you bring it up. Luke and I are currently verifying the stats of the Baby Jet, well, mostly Luke is, while I pick my 5 remaining teeth using a Chinese dick as a toothpick, standing by, looking important.
Humor aside...
If you read the terms of the bet, you'll notice that BFL is not even mention, nor really implied, but perhaps slightly inferred, only because Josh of BFL penned it.
Here's the strange part. Once Josh penned it and PM'd me, shortly thereafter I read it only once and immediately agreed to the terms, never rereading what I agreed to until just prior to midnight, 2014, readying this thread for publication. It was then that I FULLY realized what I agreed to.
Like you, in my mind I thought it applied to BFL with other stringents measures thrown in good measures. Upon reading it for only the second time, I realized that Josh could possibly easily dissect a many of my ~900 posts, whereupon a war could have started.
But, I wouldn't know how all this would play out until I at least sent Josh a PM requesting payment. Guess what? ... Are you sitting down? ... He paid up.
I know how you feel about this being considered a bribe, so I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. But, I will state that I do fine with my barn wood business, and most, if not all the monies I've received via BFL to date have, and will continue to go toward to charitable and other causes that are Bitcoin related directly or indirectly.
Honestly, Unacceptable, I'm not a prick in any sense of the word, and we are basically on the same team, albeit I'll probably will be holding my tongue toward BFL until the day they pack up in the middle of the night, so to speak, but for the sake of Bitcoin, we're all hoping that such doesn't take place. That's not to say that I won't be watching their almost every move, and if I see something that ain't right I won't pen a message to some member I trust to pass along to the community speaking on my behalf but from them.
I told Josh in my reply via PM after receiving payment that I will also not pen ill words about HashTrade, "leaving it at that", of which after this post I won't, leaving it up to others to do their due diligence, for I penned more than enough on that issue.
In closing, I want to restate that Josh has paid me in full--10 BTC--for losing the bet. For what it's worth, one way or another those coins and more will go toward Bitcoin related entities to further the cause.
Peace.
