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.
