bought Ṁ10 fees on realized profit YES

Fees on profit make much more sense to me than transaction fees - transaction fees may make otherwise sensible trades unprofitable (e.g. if my math is correct, if a market's "true" probability is 2% and it sits at 1%, current transaction fees are larger than possible profit from correcting it)

A tax on attention - markets that are more visible throughout Manifold's interface would have a higher portion of the participation fee burned

bought Ṁ10 A tax on attention -... YES

If anyone can figure out a better way to create an LVT in manifold I'm open to it.

Taxing "land-like" assets—scarce, essential for gameplay, and varying in value based on "location" or strategic importance. Unlike physical land, virtual assets that fit these criteria could include unique or limited items, strategic positions, or essential resources. Taxing these assets encourages active and productive use rather than speculation or hoarding, aligning with Georgist incentives for efficient resource allocation.
