I feel as though this might be a deal made behind closed doors. But I could definitely see this happening.

@DanielKilian Private company now so it's totally possible deals will be done the world never sees. GREAT POINT!!

@BTE Now we have a question that may resolve as NO due to time constraints. But we could have new information as time goes on. So, how would manifold Markets resolve that type of issue. I hope they don't ding the market creator. (Then again? Seems like prediction markets have been around for a while, so someone must have already found a good way to solve these instances.

@DanielKilian Its totally up to me!! I am the god of my markets!! LOL!! I have several questions that are open ended, such as the following. I was thinking about leaving this question to be open as long as Elon owns/controls Twitter. What do you think of that?

@BTE I really like the 'it's up to me' mentality. It makes it so people are incentivised to let you know the outcome, it seems.

@DanielKilian I think that is part of the core genius of this site. Empowering every user to become a market maker and establish a track record of trustworthy resolutions and a network of trusted information sources. When I first started making markets I was a little lazy about my resolution criteria and making sure I didn't prematurely resolve a market or ignorantly mis-resolve. So I started engaging the community, specifically the traders with skin in the game on each market, to come to consensus on resolution criteria and crowdsource. @MattP got me to focus on the epistemics of market making and it helped me really appreciate the unique value of Manifold. I spend a lot of my time thinking about trustworthiness, mostly in the context of AI, and bottom up approaches are always optimal. Manifold is a case study in a bottom up approach to trustworthiness.
