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.

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 it when/if he posts an address. Want to do more than 1 BTC by any chance?

Let me think about whether I'd like to bet more that 1 BTC and I'll get back to you.  

Do you have any problem with me posting the terms of our bet on Reddit (once dooglus has accepted and we've made sure that the terms are unambiguous), in order to generate some publicity?
