I think the idea is that they would want to lock the coins in place before any fork happens. Your plan seems like it requires the fork to have already happened.

This is not possible without a replay protection, which BU refuses to include

It is possible to lock your coins in escrow before the fork. It isn't possible to do an atomic swap between the Bitcoin chain and an altcoin chain that doesn't exist yet.

From what I understand this wouldn't double his stash, lol.

After that happens Loaded offered him to trade up to 130k Unlimited BTC for Core BTC. So Roger would have double the amount of Unlimited BTC and Loaded would have double the amount of Core BTC.

I think the point was that adding 130k to Roger's stash wouldn't double it. In the same was that adding 130 to 400 doesn't double it.

Nobody really knows how many coins Roger has left, but there are rumors that it's around half a million.

I missed one. Nonetheless here are post after post of carlton banks repeating and copy/pasting the same question over and over. I kept explaining I don't agree with the premise so I cannot properly address the question. But Carlton doesn't understand what a premise is. He doesn't know what the word means and so he keep repeating the question.

Carlton is dumb and ignorant. Not educated. We need to keep the discussion to include people that at least have hope of contributing or gaining from it.

Carlton is a shitdiot.

Also I had a post deleted in that thread because it was apparently a derail when I simply confirmed that a poster had said something intelligent. Who the fuck is the mod that deleted my post and ignored this fucking retard? Who is the idiot mod?

Where the FUCK are the mods and why is he allowed to do this and I can't make a simple fucking post confirming that someone said something intelligent???

No, for real though, why the fuck is that idiot carton banks allowed to sully a thread based on a rational founded and significant argument and I am not allowed to simply confirm someone said something intelligent?

Someone is putting up 60k btc betting Ver is an idiot, do we really think Ver would a bet that is based on him not being an idiot?

i can't understand what is the deal about? what are they betting to? is he just wanting 60k BTC for 60k BU? BU and BTC will end with the same value right if a fork happen so wha'ts the point of this betting from roger?

If Bitcoin Unlimited forks, it will be on a separate chain to people running other nodes that will classify the bigger blocks as invalid. Some exchanges say that they will list them as separate coins.
OP is betting that BU coins are going to be worth less than regular Bitcoins so in the event of a fork he wants to swap his coins on the BU chain for more coins on the main chain, effectively doubling then number of coins he owns. Sorry if that was a pretty terrible explanation, maybe somebody else can pitch in if you still don't understand it.

And why do you think that BU coins are going to end with the same value?

And more important BU looks imcompetent in building its software

the technical incompetency of #BitcoinUnlimited has made me lose confidence in their code

Even core (through segwit+LN) wants more tps.

I would kindly suggest that out of common courtesy, don't pollute the thread.
Anyone who wants to debate these ideas with you should see your other 50 page thread on that.

Were you the one that had the mod delete my post. I can assure everyone here that it will be carton that pollutes this thread. I even quoted 8 posts where they spammed and the mods did absolutely nothing (there is a ninth one too!). 8 times just obnoxiously copy pasting the same paragraph simply because they don't understand what a premise is.

And here you are sticking up for them. Just like you polluted that thread. What are you going to offer in this thread?

Neither of you have a CLUE what you are talking about, and how quickly you turned the discussion to me.

this thread is about how ver pretended he will accept this bet, a bunch of people are implying we can hold him to it, and a very small minority have already seen through his ridiculous game (probably including OP).

VER IS A BLUFF!!!! and jonald_fyookball is a moron with nothing intelligent to say.

traincarswreck, there are several threads here where people are calling him out on the scaling proposals but this isn't one of them. I get that you feel strongly about this issue, and this "deal" thread my seem like a diversion and waste of time. Understandable.

Still, this thread has been linked in a blog article that has been tweeted all over the place.

So yeah, Roger can post here and on Youtube and then say "nah, nevermind" but for the many people who are not following the technical debate, any bit of light that can be shed on the character of the major players could serve them in deciding where they stand.

So maybe it is just fluff but I'll take accountability where I can get it at this point.

Roger has done nothing but lie and extrapolate on a political agenda that is not founded in any founded economic theory whatsoever.

I present 20 years of works on the subject of ramifications of the advent of an e-currency with a stably issued supply by probably the smartest man that ever existed.

Nothing here in regard to this bet is going to change anyone's opinion. Roger wants control of bitcoin, and he'll take it even if its only such control that can create political tension that the media will pick up on.

That each of you don't constantly call him out for having an unfounded argument is simply a testament that none of you understand the macro economic implications of bitcoin or the purpose and nature of money itself.

It's a far better bet to bet that such a thing will not arise.

Sure, I'm not counting on it, but also won't dismiss a potential once in a lifetime chance to double my BTC holdings.

What are you asking? You're English is good, but you may be missing something in translation. For that reason you should probably been less aggressive unless you are sure of your interpretation.

I only posted the video link so people can see the comment he made. I thought it was relevant to show that he has mentioned it elsewhere besides here in this thread. That is what I meant by "doubling down." So he won't be able to claim that his BCT account was compromised.

I am pointing out there is nothing credible by Ver in this thread, nor is there anything added to the credibility from that video. Ver will perpetually tell this community he is going to do this and he won't. And so you have added fluff.

Ver is selling the idea that raising bitcoin's tps adds value to the network, and EVERYONE here is an idiot for not calling him out on the stupidity of that proposition. Its a tacit assumption that has no foundation in economic theory.

Looks like he is doubling down on it, so yeah I think he may actually do it. Not mentioned in the video, but in the replies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtDTNA85rm4

I think you implied that in the video he doubled down, timestamp?

I think in the video it opens with the host saying roger pays for the hosts show, if thats true, I think you should be banned and the host should be banned from this forum.

Roger is advocated idealizing bitcoin as a transferable utility. Such an endeavor doesn't actually solve a significant problem, and I think every person in this thread is an idiot for not point this out.
