Yes, I can honestly deny that.
While I was vaguely aware there were bets going on, I don't and still have no reason to care about their terms or outcome.
If I were doing it to influence a bet, I would have posted it immediately, instead of as an afterthought 20 minutes after
I posted them to my BFL-hosted blog.
So you are suggesting that it is pure coincidence that
1) You "received" your device some hours before the bet deadline (during Easter holidays)
2) You decided to write your post at about the deadline time (depending on time zone)
3) You felt the need to use the words "as of yesterday" and post pictures taken by somebody else
How convenient!
4) And post the images after midnight EST, thus making the bit TRUE. This fact, and this fact alone, should have been the only proof needed to declare the bet appropriately, yet was brushed aside by coinjedi, declaring a draw. Totally motherfuckin' amazing!
From a random contest to illustrate a point:
http://www.hpj.com/archives/2009/mar09/mar30/USWheatAssociatesannouncest.cfm Entries postmarked before Aug. 1, should be mailed to Steve Mercer, U.S. Wheat Associates, 3103 10th Street North, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22201, 202-263-0999.
Assuming the best photo, bar none, was mailed in and could have easily won this contest, the submitted photo would not qualify. Why! BECAUSE IT WAS SUBMITTED LATE. Every other aspect of the contest may have been met, but this entry would not qualify.
What the fuck is so motherfuckin' unambiguous about this?
Speaking of unambiguous, why not a peep from Josh about this since this issue arose?
