Relevant xkcd:

I wrote a script to do that sort of thing and tested it here: https://manifold.markets/FairlyRandom/test-market-b5247070e715. Hope you don't mind me hijacking your test market @A!

Do you Manifold people think it's generally alright to draw stuff on markets without asking first? YES means yes, NO means no, though I'm leaving the question intentionally vague to hopefully spark some discussion. This question will resolve to the market price at some random point in the last day.

I will not participate myself. Here is the SHA-256 hash of the timestamp used for resolution: 1b7b34b137df12ab0aeb73bf306954e0fa1573b81ac255e119e827a82a059d46

Is this script open source? And/or will you draw things for other people on request?

Seems like we have a pretty clear consensus that doodling is fine, thank you all for participating! The hashed timestamp message was: The Unix Timestamp of this whole thing salt848916518: 1669840682

Ah neat! I was wondering why you were trading so much in my market. 😂

Seems legit to me.

Society acceptable, but self resolving market.

bought Ṁ5 of YES

oh this is adorable

If people don't draw anything on this market, I'll be very disappointed.

bought Ṁ0 of YES

Yes, this is completely fine. Other people may interfere with the drawing though, and your bot will be easily exploited for mana.

bought Ṁ100 of YES

Awesome! How difficult was it to program?

@MichaelWheatley Thanks! Drawing stuff was only like 30 lines of code (interpolating the comic was the hard part). I’m not sure about sharing them though. Seems dual-use.
