I'm planning to liquidate + donate the money in my account over the next 2 months, and recommend everyone else do the same. Don't keep more than M10k net worth after January.

This market resolves based on my best judgement as to whether they have done this.

Should Manifold charge a fee on market subsidization?

Should Manifold take a ~25% cut of added liquidity subsidies (excluding initial ante)? One way of viewing prediction markets is that they're a service provided to the question asker. In this model, it makes sense to charge the asker for the privilege of getting the market to answer their question. Unlike transaction fees on trades, charging the subsidizer is a friendlier, progressive tax that only those with higher mana balances will end up paying for. (Mana-poor users typically don't subsidize their markets.)

Resolution please @aashiq?

bought Ṁ20 of NO

Liquidated, yes. Donated? No, and impossible now given her balance.

@aashiq resolves YES on liquidation? Or NO on the lack of (and impossibility of) donation?

Seems like it can resolve in either case.

bought Ṁ10 of NO

@chrisjbillington Huh, yeah this is notably different from the quote in the description.

@chrisjbillington I donated the money to the community. Don't be one of those people that conflate the general notion of "giving to charity" with "donating specifically to 501(c)(3) IRS-registered organizations", which if you think about it is an extremely oddly-specific narrowing of the term "charity".

predicted NO

@Mira ha, that's up to the creator, certainly not the kind of donation I expected.

I think "close enough, lack of donation doesn't matter" is a better argument for YES than "actually it was donation", come on.

predicted NO

@chrisjbillington I see, ok, so we're talking about what the hell donation means? Leaning "close enough, lack of donation doesn't matter"

Merry Christmas everyone, even to the haters and losers like @jacksonpolack that oppose me at every turn and think themselves my equal. Even you get free Christmas presents.
