Show HN: A prediction market where you can bet against my goals
- ericlmtn 10mo agoI built a prediction market where you can bet against me achieving my goals. The house doesn't always win... sometimes I just forget to study for my exams. Powered by USDC on Base with Parimutuel Pools. Apparently Stripe doesn't like gambling.
- fcpguru 10mo agocan you link Base with Parimutuel Pools?
- ericlmtn 10mo agoNot sure what exactly you mean here but I enforced an account/wallet mode instead of just pools with payments just because it's easier for tracking... could consider complete anonymity with just address and pools but that's for the future.
- oztamir 10mo agoThis is great. Local, "among-friends" prediction markets are a cool niche to explore - if the experience can be gamified properly this can be a great viral app.
- ericlmtn 10mo agoYeah I think that's my goal here. Traditional payment platforms like Stripe charge a ridiculous fee that makes small prediction markets unviable -- but with Crypto payments small markets can actually become a thing
- s1mplicissimus 10mo agoHmm I get it's a thrill for the author to get exposure/internetfame, but what's in it for the bettors? Looks to me that if bets reach enough of a one-sided weight, it's super easy for OP to just "forget" to study for their test
