Resolved
NO

When the market closes, I will find the total amount of potential YES and NO payouts that would go to users with a net worth of less than Ṁ25,000, and resolve the market to the option with the greater sum.

I will use net worths at the time of market close. In the unlikely event of a tie, the market will resolve N/A.

Clarification: bots are excluded from the count.

I keep hemorrhaging mana on markets that close while I'm asleep 😭 Fun market nonetheless!

predicted YES

nice

Thanks for playing, hope you had fun and didn't lose too much mana!

It's stabilized at NO (12302.09537785651 vs 15644.566183576379).

@ii @FernandoIrarrazaval are you getting the same?

predicted NO

@Dilon running

predicted YES

@Dilon running, tho i added the modification to change Gray Reid to BASE (also am using Firefox):
```

import requests

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait

from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

browser = webdriver.Firefox()

# Gets an element by xpath after waiting for it to appear

def get(xpath):

WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))

return browser.find_element(By.XPATH, xpath)

slug = "this-market-will-resolve-in-order-t"

# Get market id using the API

market_data = requests.get(f"https://manifold.markets/api/v0/slug/{slug}""").json()

market_id = market_data["id"]

# Get current payouts from market id using the API

market_payouts = requests.get(f"https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market/{market_id}/positions").json()

# Transforms a payout dict to a positive (yes) or negative (no) number

def parse(payout):

return sum((2 int(p == "YES") - 1) payout[p] for p in payout.keys())

# Associate payouts with users

user_payouts = []

for payout in market_payouts:

if payout["userUsername"] == 'GrayReid':

payout["userUsername"] = 'BASE'

user_payouts.append({"name": payout["userUsername"], "payout": parse(payout["totalShares"])})

# Determine if users are bots and find net worths

users = []

for user in user_payouts:

# Determine if a user is a bot using the API

user_data = requests.get(f"https://manifold.markets/api/v0/user/{user['name']}").json()

user["isBot"] = user_data["isBot"]

# Scrape the user's net worth

if not user["isBot"]:

user_profile = browser.get(f"https://manifold.markets/{user['name']}")

# Net worth defaults to "---" until updated by javascript

net_worth = "---"

while net_worth == "---":

net_worth = get("//*[@id='__next']/div/div[3]/div[2]/main/div/div[3]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]").text

# Remove leading Ṁ and commas

user["net worth"] = int(net_worth[1:].replace(",", ""))

users.append(user)

# Filter out bots and users with a net worth > 25K

users = [u for u in users if u["isBot"] == False and u["net worth"] < 25000]

# Determine total valid payouts on yes and no

yespayouts = sum(u["payout"] for u in users if u["payout"] > 0)

nopayouts = sum(-u["payout"] for u in users if u["payout"] < 0)

# Final decision

if yespayouts == nopayouts:

print("N/A (payouts equal)")

elif yespayouts > nopayouts:

print(f"YES ({yespayouts} vs {nopayouts})")

else:

print(f"NO ({yespayouts} vs {nopayouts})")

```

Hopefully this code block works

predicted YES

@Dilon NO (15315.906268116805 vs 15644.566183576382)
@cloe just went below 25K again 💀

predicted NO

@Dilon Now I got NO (15315.906268116805 vs 15644.566183576382). I think it is because @cloe net worth changed.

predicted YES

@ii i sent the money back because i thought it stabilized for you guys

predicted NO

@cloe drama

@ii @FernandoIrarrazaval Yeah I see that on my end as well now. But at market close their net worth was above 25K, so I think it's safe to resolve NO with that big of a cushion.

predicted NO

@Dilon Makes sense

predicted YES

@Dilon Well technically their net worth updated 3 minutes after market close. Still, it probably wouldn't matter as NO was winning anyway, though it is close. Is there a list of net worths exactly at market close (or maybe just the net worths that are close to or above 25000)?

predicted YES

@ii I have no way to prove this, but my comment was made before the spike in my net worth? I should have claimed the manalink around 11:50 iirc

predicted YES

@cloe (comment is timestamped 12:01:15, spike is around 12:05)

predicted YES

@cloe then it depends on if you count the official net worth on your profile or the theoretical? net worth

@ii From my logs, the traders with a net worth > 25K a few minutes after close were: cloe, evergreenemily, and Odoacre.

At close, the script only logged evergreenemily and Odoacre, but for @cloe's net worth to update only a few minutes after that, and based on when they commented, I think it's very probable that their net worth was greater than 25K at close.

Based on what I put in the description, "I will use net worths at the time of market close," I think it makes sense to use the theoretical net worth, as the displayed one did not show the true value at the time of market close.

Luckily we're also in a position where it didn't change the outcome.

predicted NO

@ii even if it is, it's a skill issue to not implement stuff of this form. cheating is worth extra points

predicted YES

@ii definitely not lol this was just carefully planned (EDIT: here's some proof counterevidencehttps://manifold.markets/cloe/test-a3f1a2bc6a1b)

predicted YES

@cloe so you were colluding 💀

predicted YES

@ii correct

predicted NO

@cloe bro this just looks us look even more like alts

predicted YES

@KyleWan i'm literally your alt

predicted NO

@KyleWan even if so, why would that matter?

predicted YES

@BASE Manifold guidelines prohibit alts for manipulating self-resolving markets. whether this counts as manipulation is debatable but would qualify for a YES or N/A resolution

predicted NO

@cloe eh, even without, it was still (barely) resolving no

predicted YES

@cloe lmao ur probably not an actual alt but is collusion allowed lol

predicted YES

@ii collusion is the only reason these markets exist? wdym
