I have picked a random 48-bit secret. Encoded as a length 48 ASCII string (that is, consisting of the characters "0" and "1"), its SHA256 hash is f5f2d8c8d4a270b3be76c96aaff748daa1d4f2b0d13df2c79ead4bd25c870508.

This question will resolve YES iff the final bit of my secret is a one.

Every day I will reveal one more bit of my secret. For example, it's now day two, so I'll reveal that my secret's first bit is a 1, and its second bit is a 0, so it's a string of the form:

"10xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

I will not bet in this market, of course.

UPDATE: The secret was 101000100010111011011001101100111000001000111101, so YES, it ends in a 1. Thanks for playing, everyone! I'm going to post a Twitter thread with all of the highlights of people doing shenanigans tomorrow morning. If you don't want me screenshotting your trades, for some reason, I guess let me know.
