I did not decline the bet. We'll see if Tom has enough confidence in his hardware to make the bet. My guess is he'll chicken out and take the excuse of "You won't stay out of my thread" to back out of the bet. But maybe he'll surprise me.
You are wrong! The bet was not about bASIC power requirement, ONLY about BFL's claim. Don't mix things...
Perhaps you need to read what I wrote, since you seem to be having trouble with comprehension, let me restate it:
I will accept the bet for 1.1 GH/w as stated by Tom as long as he defines "competitive" and eliminates the stipulation that I stay out of his thread. I did not modify the conditions of the bet in relation to BFLs power requirements. Therefore, I did not decline the bet. Additionally the bet was not "ONLY" about BFL's claims, as you stated, so please try to read and comprehend before posting, thanks.
What's it going to be Tom? Are you going to man up and back your hardware like you want BFL to? Or are you going to back out of the bet because you don't want to define what you consider to be "competitive?"
I've got 1000 BTC backing BFL's claims, put that 1000 BTC behind your claims.
