The cryptocurrency I'm most excited about is ethereum, and though it is going to have a premine, development is being done in a very open fashion. It allows users to develop smart contracts that execute whenever they contract's address receives a transaction. I've already written a binary LMSR prediction market contract which could run on ethereum.
Looks like it uses centralized judges, skimming the code. Wouldn't Truthcoin be better to work on?
Yeah, lately I've been trying to implement TruthCoin's SVD voting algorithm in Ethereum. Had a few hiccups so I'm putting it on the back burner for now.
But, unless I did something to the code I've forgotten, the judge can be an arbitrary contract here. A panel of judges, a single judge, a simple proof-of-stake voting system, or a TruthCoin-like system, etc.
Is your prediction market code open source? If so, where can we find it?
Here, but it's not in working order right at the moment.
