Comment on Show HN: Zentrade.io – Bitcoin Prediction Markets

Comments

1. How does Zentrade differ from Predictious?

2. I won't send bitcoin to a site that can't prove it controls the keys for 100% of customer deposits.

3. Obama vs. Romney?

1. Predictious uses the more traditional market-making model (as in financial markets). This is fine in more liquid markets, but in markets with habitually sparse bettors as is usual with prediction markets, it is better to have an in-theory infinite liquidity betting pattern (e.g. modified parimutuel, as Zentrade uses) so that you can make your bets at any time rather than waiting for someone to publish a price.

2. Reliability and trust are big things to us. How would you suggest we implement this to show customers?

3. 2016? Not sure I'd be betting on either there...
