The page at Amazon. COM claims that the book in question will ship in December of this year. I seem to recall having read announcements in years past that the book would ship in the respective years. Methinks that a mere claim of a future ship date in 2001 may be considered insufficient proof that the condition of the wager has been met by at least one of the parties to the wager.
Although my bet wasn't with Lucky (proving that he is indeed Lucky) it does appear that the book is in print and for my wager to be successful it must be orderable and shippable by Amazon or other on-line bookstore within a week after Jan. 1, 2002. So methinks my wager was a good one, unless Lucky wishes to wager it otherwise?

It ain't luck. Unless I worked for the publisher or a major distributor, I would never consider wagering on the ship date of a book that has been delayed for so long. Amazon's page still states as of the writing of this email that the book is not yet shipping and claims that the book will ship in the future, but since some list members have received a copy of book, the page appears to be in error. Looks like you might win your wager with the unnamed Cypherpunk after all. --Lucky
