This resolves YES if somebody posts a market with the exact same title and description, except for the number at the bottom of the description, which must be incremented by 1. For the clone to be valid, the market must be created by someone who hasn't cloned this market before.

Created a similar "viral" market

1y

It's an interesting idea, but I'm afraid it has a flaw preventing it from going viral: there is little incentive to vote NO, creation of the market costs mana (but I guess there is nothing preventing someone from marking it N/A as soon as it's closed) and there is only a very small chance that any of these markets will reach >= 10 traders

@MrLuke255 Spicy idea: "will this have an even number of clones". Then anyone could flip the resolution by posting a new market.

@tfae Might be too risky to encourage betting, which in turn discourages market creation
