Market will resolve when there are verified reports of a nuclear detonation for any reason. But it must be a weapon that was detonated and not some sort of accident.

Why did you resolve it?

7mo

Having to shut down this account and don’t know how else to do so fairly.

7mo

you don't have to resolve the questions

7mo

What happens if I shut down my account and questions are unresolved?

7mo

a mod can resolve them at a later date

7mo

Ok. Then I’m happy to unresolve my bets and then shut down the account. Is that possible? If so, do you have any suggestions on how best to do?

@IsaacKing Doesn’t sound like a nuclear explosion. “Wednesday's test used chemicals and radioisotopes to "validate new predictive explosion models" that can help detect atomic blasts in other countries, Bloomberg reported, citing the Department of Energy.”

@Lawdog The comment section is going wild -- can you give more guidance on how the resolution criteria will work for this? Do you need multiple verified reports? Verified by who? Does testing count? etc.

@Eliza Clarified above

@Lawdog Thank you, I really appreciate it!

@Eliza What if the device that detonates is not characterized as a 'bomb' -- that is, if there is some "nuclear explosion" that is 100% a nuclear explosion, but for whatever reason people don't refer to the item that exploded as a 'bomb'?

1y

@Eliza That won’t count. Like a nuclear meltdown or something like that. It has to be an offensive nuclear weapon detention for either testing for military purposes

bro, watch Russia nuke itself by accident

I would say it includes testing.

Does this include testing?
