Only user accounts count for this count. See the networth value on the profile. If new currencies get introduced, they will count if they can ~instantly be transformed into mana.
Options resolve when they are hit. Temporary bugs do not count. All remaining options resolve NO at the end of the year.
@Bayesian I think if people spend money they get both mana and Sweepcash, right?
And Sweepcash can eventually be redeemed for 1S = 100 mana, so I think you can count both.
@Bayesian As far as I understand, you actually buy Mana (ratio USD 1 : M$ 100) and the sweepstakes are just a bonus ("officia"). This way you buy into a funconomy and it isn't real money betting, because the Sweepstakes are just a gift.
@Bayesian I guess my thought on it is that if it’s just a loophole for donations to manifund which is separate from manifold, it doesn’t count, like it was the case for ninthcause. If they’re actually holding the mana to spend it on manifold prediction markets then it counts bc they‘re foregoing the mana ‘going to anything else’, so they are buying it in an analogous way to any other user? That seems most fair to me, open to disagreement
@TimothyJohnson5c16 Congrats, 🥳, with the increased price it's very unlikely 😭 I don't believe that anyone pumps millions of USD in Manifold in the first year.
