In Austin's farewell post:
James, Stephen, and the rest of the team have a big pivot in store; it seems like a great bet, but not something that I personally feel drawn towards enacting. And so, now feels like a good time to step out.
James made a response:
Manifold may indeed have been trapped in a local maxima, but not for long! We always have another fresh idea, another trick up our sleeves. The latest secret project for Manifold will be big.

@strutheo Poll created, @traders go vote! https://manifold.markets/Noit/is-manifolds-big-pivot-outside-its
@strutheo oh, it's been running since the pivot announcement. It's sent to end a month after the announcement (2 days from now)
@Najawin the feed is giving a lot of new stuff but also bitcoin yeah. overall better than before at least! theyll keep tweaking the algorithm, i think they said it would show things based on your txn fees as an indicator of interest in topics
This is true at the moment (see my comment below for the market)
@Panfilo hmm i read this as 'about certain issues' as in war/death/etc
but i also get your interpretation here, since it says 'certain scenarios'
might na or ask a mod
@strutheo I am NO on this, and at first I thought it wasn't real-money betting, but now, I think I was wrong and it is.
