Hey - I am one of the authors on that paper. One of the ideas behind relating bidding behavior to real life performance was that you don't want to be super aggressively, because if you overbid, that actually is worse for you. But obviously you are more likely to win if you bid more, so this gives incentive to be truthful. Right now the plan for when we get tons of new users, is to be way more successful as a hedge fund and increase user payouts a ton. That way more people get a chance to earn money and good users get a chance to earn lots of money.
