We got great coverage about our Prediction Market feature.... and that is bad thing, because our prediction market is terrible.
Our core developer spent 20 minutes describing how this works... and as people say in youtube coments:
This is obvious that no one would spent this amount of time to investigate how this works... and if someone will not be sure, simply will be too afraid to use it.
Amanda also didn't decide create her own prediction market smartcion... i guess... mostly because of price. I am sure, that if that would cost her only let say 100 BTS, she would create that asset.
My thoughts:
- short selling is too complicated for average Joe. I would like to just have to buttons - [BET A] or [BET not A]
- prediction smartcoins should be cheaper. Why? Because very often they will be live only... for example one week (because next football match is in next sunday). Right now there is no way to reuse those smartcoins after they are "decided".
Having "feature" like that makes us more harm than profit. Don't believe me? Go to youtube and read people comments.
I am not writing this because I want to complain. I am writing this because I believe that together we can design better look and feel for that feature.
