Looks like something of this sort could be easily implemented in an already existing platform like Augur, I actually wouldn’t mind putting some effort in it if someone is interested
Interesting, what’s the connection here? Are you saying that assurance contracts could be implemented using a prediction market? Or were you thinking of something more along the lines of Augur’s distributed voting system for decision outcomes? Anyway I’d be interested to hear what you’re thinking here.
I guess you could do that in a variety of ways. PM in general can be used to create rewards for events to happen. Take the following: “I agree to leave facebook if ten million other people agree to leave with me.” could be implemented as “I bet $$ that 10M people will not leave FB within a month”, people can then stake against it and leave FB to promote the event (and share the contract). PM are very flexible, the real limitation IMO is to create a community to bring liquidity to the market and then create a standard contract for people to follow for a specific type of market
I think I’m most excited to put energy (technical and social) into such a platform if there’s a clear use for it, and I think that might be the limiting factor. I created two more specific questions:
i easily thought of more than a dozen possible coordinated actions that can be initiated. so at least in the platform i envision, i don’t see it as THE limiting factor :)
Quite bare-bone indeed.
Maybe we should do a KickStarter to roll it off :P
I’ve had many ideas myself for how to do it, but except a lot of time, i don’t have much of the resources or skills needed to create such a thing.

could it be useful to someone if i make an idea-dump post?
I think I’m most excited to put energy (technical and social) into such a platform if there’s a clear use for it, and I think that might be the limiting factor. I created two more specific questions:
If a “Kickstarter for Inadequate Equlibria” was built, do you have a concrete inadequate equilibrium to fix?
How could “Kickstarter for Inadequate Equilibria” be used for evil or turn out to be net-negative?
i easily thought of more than a dozen possible coordinated actions that can be initiated. so at least in the platform i envision, i don’t see it as THE limiting factor :)
If so, can you post them as answers on the “what concrete inadequate equilibrium do you want to fix?”
Please do!
Done :)
