The new multiple choice questions are still a work-in-progress. Manifold is planning to add a button to easily sell soon.

Until then, you can buy a number of NO shares equal to your YES shares (or vice versa) and it will exchange them for that amount of mana.

Resolves YES if there is a feature to sell shares in a multiple choice question before the end of August (even if it is later removed).

The ability to buy opposite shares and redeem them does not count.

It must be supported in the Manifold interface (API support alone does not count).

This is one of the features that Manifold has said they plan for multiple choice:

@JamesGrugett "You can only sell up to -1.1368683772161603e-13 shares."

Very minor issue, seems to be a minor floating point problem, so it still shows I have a position. I was just trying to clean up those fractional shares 😂

predicted YES

@parhizj Thanks for the report! Having trouble reproducing... Maybe the client didn't update with the latest sell bet?

predicted YES

@JamesGrugett I was "cleaning" up some of my bets

@jskf It's live!!!

@jskf just sold 53 shares

predicted YES

I haven't tested it, but the market is about a button existing, so

@jskf I just tested it, and it works.

@jskf I'm glad this didn't come up, but not sure why people think that just a non-functional button existing would count, unless they didn't read the description carefully. IMO it clearly doesn't.

Resolves YES if there is a feature to sell shares in a multiple choice question before the end of August (even if it is later removed).

If there's a non-functional button, that can hardly be called "a feature to sell shares"

predicted YES

Oh yeah I assumed so. I was just joking based on the title.

@jskf Ah ok. Someone else said "resolution criteria says nothing about the feature actually working >_>" earlier

predicted YES

Ok guys, time to merge this

predicted YES

@JamesGrugett it's merged!

predicted YES

@JamesGrugett It's deploying. Needs a few minutes to go live

bought Ṁ95 of YES

It only seems to work for some of the questions that I'm invested in. Just sold to verify that it works. Still, this should be enough to qualify for resolution!

predicted YES

@Shump That's the old DPM multi-choice haha. About to deploy for the new multi-choice

bought Ṁ0 of YES

Reminder to YES holders: alt+c for confetti.

sold Ṁ10 of NO

@jskf option+C for the mac users

bought Ṁ468 of YES

bought Ṁ10 of NO

@zzlk Yeah but it seems there is a bug... at least I couldn't sell any shares...

predicted YES

@parhizj Probably because I'm running the local server which uses the updated sell shares endpoint. I can deploy my change to the dev server so it could work for you.
