Good point, if the fork happens just before the deadline then how about we wait up to 4 months for the minority chain to mine 2100 new blocks.  If the minority chain doesn't mine 2100 blocks by then, we'll call it dead and I win the bet.  

Regarding your term that if a fork happens, but BU reorgs so that the most-work chain no longer contains a block > 1 MB, I might be OK with that, but it's a bit unfair to me because what if we just get a random 1.1 MB block like we saw with bitcoin.com?  I could see that happening again, and I don't think that should count as a fork.  How about we define a "fork attempt" as occurring once the large block chain has at least 72 blocks built on top of it?

I am happy with Dooglus as escrow.
it when/if he posts an address. Want to do more than 1 BTC by any chance?
Excellent, sounds great to me. I'm ok with 72 blocks being considered a "fork attempt". I've PM'd a link to this conversation to Dooglus and will fund


Considering Peter just tried to get you to accept a bet with dubious terms, what on earth makes you think you can trust his choice of escrow?


Be very very careful with these people and anything that resembles promises or trust, they're so duplicitous that they will sully their own reputations even further for the sake of, how much Peter? 1 BTC?

It wasn't Peter's choice of escrow. RHavar proposed to use dooglus as escrow and Peter said he was happy with it. Can't you read the thread?

why would you not trust dooglus as an escrow?

I would rather use these coins to buy a load of miners and to run Core nodes to make sure that BTC will remain the longest chain, than pissing it away on a silly bet like this. It would be better for everyone if this money was spend on things that would improve the Bitcoin experience. ^sad^

Agreed, exactly what I was saying earlier as well. I'm not one one side or the other, but the amount of money being trivialized here as a bet is enough to advance the bitcoin experience and improve the total value of bitcoin as a whole. This bet is irresponsible.

Roger would not be able to match that bet, so this guy is shit out of luck. ^smile^

Pretty crazy how multi-millionaires are throwing $100,000,000 around back and forth playing fire with most people's life-savings worth ~0.001% that


It's not really a big deal. Beyond making a point to the community at large (brought about by the results), it doesn't really matter how high the stakes are if they both have the money.

Of course it's their money they can do whatever they want (and I absolutely appreciate the spectacle of it), but I wish this community was more about investing to grow itself rather than wiener-swinging bets for protocol preference. Forgetting the value relative to other peoples savings... the amount they are talking about is enough to make a significant dent in bitcoins global value, whether through investment in startups, funding for developers, or whatever else.

I'll be impressed if you both step forward with this deal. I respect people who put their money where their mouth is, hope this isn't all talk.
Do you think coins were sent?

This sounds like a great deal for both of us.  I look forward to ironing out the exact details and terms.  I'm super busy for the next 48 hours,  but would love to connect after that.

No way Roger goes through with this deal, he would lose any power held on the core chain

Well now that he has publicly agreed to it he would lose some of his credibility if he did not go through with it.  

not really.  easy for either side to say they didn't like the specifics.  Kind of like pending sale of a house, you can
back out if the inspection didn't go well.


This is not a house sale.

It is pretty simple specifics in the deal that is on the table.

Not much to look over other than the party(s) who will be escrowing the funds.
