📢Resolved to NO

predicted YES

Q-Centre will announce their results late August/early September. Are you ready, folks?

bought Ṁ40 of NO

I would only resolve early if we have a confirmed replication, no? Otherwise stays open until 2025?

bought Ṁ42 of YES

@Charlie It can also resolve early if the authors admit to fraud or agree with criticisms from other researchers and retract their paper.

bought Ṁ200 of NO

@Hennicious its resolution criteria don't state that, do they? I don't see it, am I blind?

@chrisjbillington It doesn't say that explicitly, but perhaps worth asking @QuantumObserver if in a case like that the market would be resolved early.

@Soren doubt he's gonna change something like that this late in the game, that would be poor form - resolution timing affects betting and people have been making bets under the impression that won't happen.

@chrisjbillington @Soren @Hennicious

I don’t have any provisions for early resolution, and I tend to agree with Chris that it would not be desirable to make changes at this point.

If I knew how quickly things would move, I’d have pulled the resolution date in a bit. Normally, though, these things take a while to get figured out.

@QuantumObserver hi Quantum, I am wondering whether you would consider resolving YES early in some circumstances? Or will you just wait til EOY no matter what?

@jim I could imagine a universe in which there is an early YES resolution. It would require much stronger positive evidence. I don’t see a way to reasonably have early NO.
