Resolves to YES if such life is found before close. Otherwise, each new year after 2023 I will flip 3 coins. If they all land heads, I will resolve to MKT.

I'm not convinced that this particular combination of "Resolves to MKT" and "Resolves YES" will somehow be better than either of those.

@Yev Do you have an alternative?

@Yev I've concluded this market is a bad idea

predictedYES 2y

@LivInTheLookingGlass For reference, I'm a little annoyed that you keep resolving these markets N/A. If you think a market was a bad idea, then you can create a new one, but I don't see a good reason to cancel old ones. I'm now going to be slightly more wary of bidding in your future markets, because there's a decent chance that I'll tie up mana for a while only to get nothing out of it when it's later cancelled.

@IsaacKing Sorry about that. I will try to tag in future which markets I deem experimental so that this does not happen

What do you mean by "Otherwise"? Do you only start flipping coins if life is not found by 2100?

predictedNO 2y

@Yev no, I mean if it doesn't resolve before any particular new year. It's set up as a race condition

Can I provide the coins?
