Yeah, but then the miners can manipulate the market. In this case, only I can!

Jk, you're totally right. I should do that next time.

Great!

Healthier than inhaling website smoke

Right on, thanks.

Edit: End time has been set to one week from now, at midnight EST.

So cool! Is there any way to edit the description after posting a market?

I really appreciate this. Thank you. Your dad is 100% correct.

They howl out of respect.

Most people don't realize this - Satoshi Nakamoto is Craig Wright spelled backwards

But seriously I might need pizza

Wouldn't that be cybersquatting? Couldn't Walmart and Intel get those domains back via legal action?

Thanks for pointing it out! Again, very clever. If you figure out any other way to game the system, I'll provide you a small bug bounty 🏆 😁

Agreed! Only published comments will count.

Haha yes, it did! It cracked me up as well.

Wow, how clever! What should I do?

Should I reward clever rule-bending? Or does this change the nature of the experiment?

I need to think about this... But I like how you think, @Scroogey!

Edit: Lol @ Gemini's analysis:

The Game Becomes a Cesspool of Confusion and Resentment If this strategy becomes common, the social experiment will degrade into a frustrating experience for all involved:

For regular players: The game becomes impossible to win. They follow the rules as written, but a hidden, retroactive winner appears out of nowhere, making them feel foolish and cheated.

For players using the strategy: The game becomes an anxiety-ridden high-stakes race where you are blind to your competitors' moves. You're constantly checking your profile, paranoid that another hidden player is about to pull the rug out from under you.

For you, the host: The game's integrity is shattered. You are left to arbitrate disputes and explain a bizarre, meta-level of play that most participants don't even know exists. Your experiment, which was supposed to be simple and transparent, becomes opaque and confusing.

Wow! Perhaps @Scroogey will lose internet or power when the script is supposed to run lol. Otherwise, this is going to be a long game.

Well of course earth.com is going to get us worked up about a black hole pointed at Earth. Earth has the best lobbyists

I agree with this take. They will keep selling dollars and debt until the world stops buying it.

No notes, just checking in everyday to see what people have to say lol
