This market is about whether: If something happens such that manifold markets folds or goes out of business, and there are no more active developers, they will sell to someone who will keep it alive so we don't lose the work (markets & predictions) put into it. The site will still be up and most real-world long-term markets (i.e. aliens found by 2050) remain up and able to be bet on. Some downtime (1 month is okay) but if after that the site is not up again, that's a NO.

If manifold doesn't go out of business by end date, expires NA. Otherwise it's bout whether someone ends up actually buying the site, and the site continues to be available.

@NoaNabeshima oh snap. The amazing success of p=1 surrounded by zeros of failure.

predicts YES

What if manifold stops being actively developed but is run in a passive way?

predicts YES

@NoaNabeshima That seems like a clear yes. i.e. in that case the first criteria for this claim would have been satisfied (gone out of business) as well as the second (it still exists)

predicts YES

@StrayClimb It might be good to change the title?

predicts NO

Oh, yeah, that changes my estimate a lot. I think it's pretty unlikely that they sell but somewhat likely that manifold continues in some other way.

What if they give it to someone without exchanging money

@NoaNabeshima That's okay.

In the event this is likely to happen, please contact me as a potential purchaser to keep the site alive as a non-profit.
