Prior to the Wikipedia community vote on adopting CC BY-SA it crossed my mind to set up several play money prediction market contracts concerning the above outcomes conditioned on Wikipedia adopting CC BY-SA by August 1, 2009, for which I did set up a contract. It is just as well that I didn’t — or rather if I had, I would have had to heavily promote all of the contracts in order to stimulate any play trading — the basic adoption contract at this point hasn’t budged from 56% since the vote results were announced, which means nobody is paying attention to the contract on Hubdub.
Blame yourself, Mike. I blogged 10 times about the concept of “X group” —the symbiosis between a set of prediction markets and a set of bloggers.
Certainly. As I wrote “I would have had to heavily promote all of the contracts in order to stimulate any play trading”.
I like to “mettre le couteau dans la plaie”. Do you know that French expression? I put the knife in the wound —I am sadistic.
