I was reading this post by Erik Torenberg about reputation markets and wondered whether Manifold could solve the problem he outlined of using markets to value one’s reputation.

There have been attempts at this in Manifold that I don’t feel have worked well. Stonks never resolve and don’t seem to translate to anything tangible (ie not a Klout score) and “Will X be involved in a scandal” markets are binary in nature.
I’ll give out this bounty to the most compelling comment.
I’ll also give a small portion of bounty to anyone who can tell me how to close/resolve/get my funds back from this test stonk I created 🤣
Have you given consideration to something like the Bergstrom/West eigenfactor valuing system? B

I’m not clear how manifold might be configured to generate a similar value, but it feels like there may be synergy there.
