> How can I take you up on that bet?

Creating the bet with Counterpartyǂ.

Step 1. Establishing 'Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto' trustless P2P betting feed

    counterpartyd broadcast --help
    counterpartyd broadcast --source='SOURCE_ADDRESS' \
                            --text='[BINARY] Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, by his own admission or indisputable evidence on or before June 21, 2014' \
                            --value='1' \
                            --fee-fraction='0.1'
Step 2. Placing bets

    counterpartyd bet --source='SOURCE_ADDRESS' \
                      --feed-address='FEED_ADDRESS' \
                      --bet-type='Equal/NotEqual' \
                      --wager='10' \
                      --counterwager='10' \
                      --target-value='1' \
                      --leverage='5040' \
                      --deadline='6,21,2014'

Unfortunately it may be very hard, or take a very long time, to either confirm or deny this claim. What is the standard of evidence for the bet to be won or lost?

For the record I strongly believe Newsweek got it wrong, and that he's the wrong guy.
