Please feel free to submit any idea, no matter how far-fetched or whimsical. This market is sort of a Hail Mary pass, a hope that brainstorming ideas might possibly connect the right idea with the right person.

Market as a whole won't resolve until at least EOY, but individual ideas will be resolved as "YES" after a time, once I notice they exceed 90% consensus and it seems enough traders enter the market. Ideas that have stayed below 50% will be resolved N/A (if Manifold will allow this) EOY.

My layman amateur take is that solutions involving small living organisms (bacteria, fungi, moss etc) are the way to go because there's way too much water in the ocean to ever practically put through a human-buildable quantity of mechanical devices (filters, electrostatics, hydrophillics etc) but the small organisms can exponentially multiply in a reasonable timeframe to the insanely vast quantities needed

If I understand right, no entries will ever resolve NO, so there's no reason to bet against them?

This was my immediate thought too

Yes. I'm just looking for ideas, and don't want to punish those who contribute. I threw 1000 M into the ring.

More specific redundant ideas are welcome, too. For example, "Machines that force 1 billion gallons of seawater a minute through an oil layer, like this..."

Yeah, probably should have thought this out better, but let's keep it the way it is and see what happens.
