Augur – Prediction Market
- Another great blog: Augur Development Update – MAY 10TH
-
micah: "Augur is trying to make REP have real value and not be a rent-seeking token like so many others. Rent seeking tokens have a reasonable expectation of crashing eventually as they are not sustainable (basically an advanced Ponzi scheme)".
- Ethereums future upgrade to Metropolis should have no substantial effect on augur.

-
MetaMask 3.6.2 is out, gas price input is in Gwei, still defaults to 20Gwei, but I tested it with 2Gwei for few transactions and
it went through within 30 seconds. It’s quiet time of the day, so probably because of that. So if you want to save a bit on gas and not in a hurry, I recommend lowering from default 20Gwei

We are in close contact with regulators here and we believe it can be a big advantage for Gnosis for creating partnerships with other entities if we have more legal certainty.
