How does this resolve if we find a way to do auctions with free response or the new multi-binary markets? Does it have to be a dedicated auction market, or is something functionally equivalent fine too?

@Mira It should be a dedicated auction market -- I've been holding some free-response auctions, but those do not count.

Running a sealed-bid second price auction for Manifold t-shirts was one of the most fun IRL things I've done in a while! Buying some wishful (though not commitment) YES

@Austin I cant believe you would appropriate the equivalent of 250 USD of mana from school children

@NicoAlberti Hey now "appropriate" is very strong language; I want it on the record that this was a voluntary transaction conducted between willing and able parties

Also how did y'all even get $240 of mana when none of you have bought mana for money?

@Austin paying for mana is based, grinding mana is inspired

there doesn't seem to be a large enough incentive to do something like this yet, mostly because the april fools one was mostly a funny one. like, beyond being the one to say "i bet 50 times the amount i won" and have bragging rights, theres no real incentive to do it yet.

i suppose on incentive for a prediction site would be a "trust worthyish" badge? but... that doesn't really make sense? most other incentives there would have to either be things posted by Big Mani or be centered around a limited gimmick item

@astyerche I mean, I think people could start "selling shares" to other people. But yes, limited gimmick items or badges would be cool.
