Per archive.org, the following is true:

1. As of Oct 01 2022, users received M 1000 to start and gained money via betting.

2. As of Jun 05 2023, users received M 500 to start and gained money via betting or a daily streak bonus.

This system has problems:

1. It is a bad idea to screw over users by age. Older users get the larger starting pool and the daily bonus.

2. It is a bad idea to buy attention by printing money though it does create the appearance of higher usage.

3. It is a bad idea to make daily rewards "streak" based.

4. It is a bad idea to fail to communicate changes, forcing the use of tools like archive.org to research them.

This market is not about the many ways Manifold chooses to misled users. Will Manifold change the starting balance or quest rewards again before July 1, 2024?
