I was just browsing the Foresight Exchange (formerly Idea Futures) and notice that there have been a few changes.

One claim that caught my eye was BCPrez, owned by sburnap@wsgc.com and judged by Gafter@eng.sun.com. This claim pays $1 for each YES coupon if Bill Clinton is President of the United States at noon on January 1, 2001. This claim pays $1 for each NO coupon if Bill Clinton is no longer President of the United States at noon on January 1, 2001, for any reason including, but not limited to resignation, impeachment, or death. ^^^^^:) -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ enoch@zipcon.com $ via Finger $ {Free Cypherpunk Political Prisoner Jim Bell}
