Resolved
YES
This market resolves to "YES" if, by 11:59 PM at February 14, 2022 PST, at least ten separate users have traded on this market. I think this site is cool, so I wanted to do a prediction market, and this seems like one whose dynamics are kind of interesting! If I do another market it'll probably be about a real thing though. Feb 9, 5:50pm: I probably should've resolved this yesterday, but it's now pretty clear that even if you just count people who comment, over ten people have traded on this market. So I'm resolving it! This was fun. No idea why someone bought M$1000 of no! I think it's kind of funny. However...I'm not exactly sure how Manifold Markets' algorithm works, and I recognize there are complicated delicate balances of incentives to stop the system from being exploitable, but I just lost M$36 for creating this market, and would've gained money for incorrectly resolving it as "no." I think this provides a perverse incentive for resolving markets wrong / not creating markets. Feb 9, 6:14pm: Actually, maybe I did gain currency?

Adding a comment!
Seems odds have been skewed because of the one trader who bout $1000 no an hour ago.
Whoops, forgot to comment on my last trade. Just want to ensure I register as a unique/separate trader!
Nice growth hacking :D I like to imagine the sprint to buy NO contracts right before resolution, and the weird game theory there.
I think I'm actually #4, because Conflux doesn't count.
User #4 checking in!
Note: you can directly add tags to any market now! On the market page below the graph, click "Show tags".
(Hint to people bidding 'yes'; we can definitely count if you comment!) You might also want to add the tags #meta #fun and #shortterm to the description, to help users find the market.
Can you tell that's it's ten seperate users, rather than just ten seperate bets?
