... The main criticism I had of this was the fact that the system was said to have a minimum bid of 1 BTC, which at the time was somewhere around $1000. This, contrasting with my Assassination Politics essay of 1995-96 where I anticipated allowing bits of 10 cents. Assassination Market did not explain a lot of what I had considered necessary for a functioning such system. How can a potential donor trust the system? How can a potential 'predictor' trust the system? How to collect?I never tried to research into this, because I judged that to do so would be a little too 'hot' for me to do.
i am curious how you arrived at a determination of what was "too hot" :) how do you pick where to draw that line? *he says with a toe on something very hot...*
Did any donations actually appear on the system after its initial announcement? Did any new names/targets appear?
there were a few targets added, "bid" transactions successful, yet my attempt to add my own life to list was for naught. :/ maybe i didn't pay enough... ? https://blockchainbdgpzk.onion/address/1P6yannm6Rx9kkMH5LxmAsi1GdZ4JZG73T best regards,
