Well then, idiot:

1) For the July 1st BFL bet, what exactly is the advertised performance?

Exactly what it was at the time the bet was introduced.

Which is what? Post the specifications or a link to them so we can see what the decision will be based on.

The bet seems to have lots of possibilities for misunderstanding:

1) will deliver ASIC Bitcoin mining devices to their customers

To all of their customers? To at least one of their customers?

2) Devices must be in scope

One of them? All of them? Presumably the performance will vary between the fastest and the slowest. Or the most efficient and the least efficient.

3) of at least +-10%

"at least plus or minus 10%"? What does that mean? If the advertised performance was 100 (whatevers), then it has to be "at least 90 or 110"? Isn't that the same as just "at least 90"?

4) of advertised

Advertised where? And when? Got a link? Or a copy/paste? I've no idea where to find it (except maybe http://news.yahoo.com/butterfly-labs-announces-next-generation-asic-lineup-054626776.html which says:

1) BitForce SC Jalapeno: a USB powered coffee warmer providing 3.5 GH/s, priced at under $149

2) BitForce SC Single: a standalone unit providing roughly 40 GH/s, priced at $1,299

3) BitForce SC Mini Rig: a case & rack mount server providing 1 TH/s, priced at $29,899

What is at least +-10% of roughly 40 GH/s? Is it roughly at least 36 or 44 GH/s? Is 35 GH/s roughly at least 36 GH/s? What? Not even roughly?

5) performance

Is that hashes per second or hashes per Joule? I guess it depends on which advertisement the bet is referring to. If it's the above Yahoo 'PRWeb' thing then it looks like they're talking about just hashes per second. But it would be useful to know which advertised performance statistic the bet is referring to.

There's still a over a month left on the bet. Wouldn't it be best to clear up the ambiguities before the bet is settled?
