@Gurkenglas But wouldn't that be unfair to market participants who might want to invest at the last moment. Anyways closing market now. Will read up on this and discuss later.

A closed, unresolved market has the disadvantage that people can't cash out, but when we're talking about a 30-minute wait that doesn't really matter.

Once the question that a market is about is obvious enough to answer that you wouldn't open a market about it, you should close the market about it, because so far Manifold does not distinguish between value of information at different points in time.

@Gurkenglas I fail to understand why ME stating facts would change the market opinion. The only risk I eliminated is me not being fair and resolving the market wrongly.Can you please explain?

If you announce that you will resolve YES without closing the market, whales can pick up free money, and that money comes from those who predicted correctly.

Will resolve the market to "YES" in 28 mins if there are no objections before that.

Makes sense

The number of posts has exceeded 200 as of now if you count the announcement posts. This is without counting any removed/deleted posts. https://imgur.com/a/dqrBmyw I am going to resolve the market to "Yes". Any objections? @aps @JoshWight @SneakySly @WillianKelly @Lorenzo @Pepe

Wording of the market implies that removed posts should count. Maybe someone should use pushshift or something else to see if removed/deleted posts push the count over 200.

5 hours to go and it would require 3 more posts to reach 201 based on what William Kiely said.

@SneakySly Hoping nobody does that. I didn't think Manifold Markets users would be an inconvenience to people on the sub. Also don't think it is a good idea to have prediction markets that might cause inconvenience to others, so this will be my last market based on any Reddit sub with <500k members.

This seems moveable.

There are 195 posts so far in February IST. (The link above doesn't auto-update. I had to go to https://old.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/new/ and click "next" 7 times.) The first post is "Is it feasible for Scott Alexander to go on the Joe Rogan Podcast?" and the 195th is "Five Days of Resistance". With 10 hours to go, a linear extrapolation expects ~3-4 more posts, so ~198-199 total. 201 are needed to trigger positive resolution.

@Pepe Yes, the resolution time is indeed in IST.

@Lorenzo I actually checked myself and made the same mistake as you lol. Even before you posted your message and then again after. I sold it for a slight loss; I don't mind.

@aps if you end up losing the M$50 because of trusting my message, happy to refund it with an ad-hoc market since it was technically market manipulation

@Pepe is obviously correct. Initially it was an honest mistake, but then wanted to see if anyone would actually check. Updating upwards on the reliability of these markets. Still, should be relatively easy to trigger a yes by posting ~10 threads, but too lazy to do it. Thanks for checking!

@Lorenzo your link shows there have been only 179, with the earliest being "Predictions For 2022". I assume we'll use the UTC post time but maybe @BlockchainMan can clarify, and it's 180 if we cound February in IST.

Yeah. Surprised the market is being so slow to incorporate this information - should be at 100%! I put $50 on YES yesterday and I figure I'll put in some more.
