I don't do "real" betting. I'd do a modified bet (with you and/or eddie13 and/or other reputable forum members) where the loser has to donate 0.01 BTC to a charity of his choice.

I will take you up on that!

Consistently with the theme of my above statements about liberals:  Would any Americans care to suggest a nondenominational, nonpartisan American gun rights organization that (a) does not block Tor at their website, and (b) accepts anonymous Bitcoin donations at a publicly known address?  (Too bad about blockchain privacy; payment of the bet must be verifiable somehow.)  Not the NRA—a principled organization.  A few suggestions would be welcome, so that I can choose something that I feel comfortable supporting.  I am picky.

If I am provided appropriate links so that I can see if I approve the organization, and I can verify their Bitcoin address, then I will produce a fresh PGP-signed statement committing to this.

If no suitable suggestions are offered, then in the interest of free expression and free thought in learning environments, I will instead need to figure out how these folks botched a native Segwit address that, it seems, nobody has ever tried:

FIRE’s donation receipt addresses:

To be clear: I'm not at all certain that Trump will lose, and although I don't like or support him, I'd prefer that he win over Biden. But AFAICT his chance of winning isn't even 25%, so taking a bet at even odds makes sense.

Of course.  The wager would not be exciting, if the outcome were certain. :-)



By the way, a clarification:

The problem with that is that I deeply despise liberals—even moreso than the cat did; much more...

How much more?

I have been calling Trump a Communist for about the past five years.  I tossed out that thing about the history of Antifa while I was working on a cartoon about Orange Dolt Kerensky (R) versus Senile Dementia Lenin (D).  (To be posted, after I finish the accompanying text.)

That much more.
