Compensation needs to be in the form of mana. E.g. free mana, resetting losses from this particular market, setting account balance to 0, or some other similar way.

Edit: per question from BTE himself, yes a loan would also count.

Has to be publicly known, stated by @BTE or Manifold staff. Suspicions aren't enough, unless evident in otherwise inexplicable ways (because the Manifold portfolio now works again, right? 😅).

Resolves NO at end of year if no news on the issue.

I won't trade in this market (I sold my position and won't take new ones) in order to make unbiased resolution easier, in case of hard calls.

nice

This happened can resolve YES

@BTE resolving YES based on this and @DavidChee's considerable position 😌

If I got a loan from Manifold would you consider that compensation?

@BTE thanks for the clarifying question.

Yes, that seems to 1) directly involve transfer of mana and also 2) carry an economic benefit.

@HenriThunberg I was offered one but I haven't accepted it yet. I will definitely update here if that changes.

@BTE btw it would be preferable if you got a loan from someone else like @jack or @MarcusAbramovitch since we try to avoid giving out loans after the whole WNM fiasco.

But if you can't find a good arrangement then for this circumstance we would definitely be okay to give you a loan as promised in dms!

@DavidChee i happily provide loans to people. i already do it. that said, i don't think a loan from me counts as comp from manifold

@MarcusAbramovitch agreed it doesn't count, even if by their blessing.

@MarcusAbramovitch What are the terms on your loans?

@BTE Broadly willing to give Manifold users who don't seem scummy:
0.75%/day (though rates do get higher if it's right at end of month)
3%/week
10%/month

@BTE Feel free to just DM on discord. Easier there

Actually changed my mind hella quickly, I am definitely not trading in this market.
