Note: WeatherBill also started with ECPs, and has recently received CFTC approval to fish out on a broader scale. More in a post later on... InTrade did get approval for their eBOT.

I am guessing this will be lowered over time, but still unlikely to go below one million. (I'm also guessing this is why Intrade didn't get approved, they didn't want to eliminate 99.99% of their users by agreeing to a 10 mil net qualifier. ) Good luck increasing liquidity...
