just thinking it would be great to create a post for everyone to post what they want to have for future releases of the augur app or anything related to using augur.

here is my wish list for now:

• in ‘positions’ page, show not just last price but the current bid-ask so i can easily see if i want to add/exit my position without clicking into each market (right now i have positions in 9 markets)

• in ‘positions’ page, calculate PnL based on current bid-ask price (depending your position direction) instead of last price which can be very away from current market

• in ‘positions’ page, show at top my total ETH staked (in orders or active trade)/REP staked

• in ‘transactions’ page, the transactions not sorted by time. would be great to be able to sort on my own by value/time/type etc

• instead of just cancel order, allow to amend order price which would save gas cost

• allow me to ctrl-h to hide the augur app once i am connected (i’m using mac version)

• allow me to mark a market as ‘favorite’ in a market. currently i can only do it in the market list so if i click a market and like to follow it i have to go back before i can mark favorite

• an FAQ page to list out all the issues that newcomers of augur may encounter (not the FAQ on augur website, and i found the one in stack exchange is useful but having an organized FAQ would be even better) e.g. database sync forever, not knowing how to connect my ledger, didn’t know safari browser not working, etc were the issues i encountered myself

i’m rather new to the community so some of the above may have been discussed before already. anyhow i guess no harm posting it for another time and help the community grows :D

+1 for Augur.

Someone should make a "was Augur right" website.

A record number of prediction markets ended on New Years eve, and as a result there are about 140 markets in this week's dispute round.

Dispute rounds are how Augur catches mistakes and keeps reporters honest in a decentralized way. After the results of a market have been reported, there is a one week period during which anyone can dispute those results. There is a good chance one or more of those 140 markets was reported incorrectly, but there are currently more markets than active users. That's where you come in:

To dispute a result you will need REP tokens, which can be purchased on most token exchanges, or directly from Augur using 0x Instant (click on Account). You stake your REP on the outcome of your choice. If enough REP has been staked to fill the dispute bond, it gets pushed to the next round, during which the opposing sides have a chance to stake double that amount. One side wins the dispute when the other sides cannot fill their bonds, and the REP gets redistributed to the winning side. So, if the majority agrees with you, you earn a 50% return on the REP you staked on the correct outcome.

If you have downloaded the Augur app from https://www.augur.net/get-started/#download-links: connect your wallet, and go to Reporting->Dispute

Or you can use the hosted instance here: https://ipfs.augur.casino/ipfs/QmYznPLieFvWGNDrS839mQrGLuuWNxhSrg29TrXgog52ed/?ethereum_node_http=https%3a%2f%2feth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io%2fjsonrpc%2f7sE1TzCIRIQA3NJPD5wg7YRiVjhxuWAE&augur_node=wss%3a%2f%2faugur-node.augur.casino#/reporting-dispute-markets

Potentially disputable things to look for:

• Markets that ended before the results were known

• Subjective markets

• Markets where the results are difficult or impossible to find

• Markets where the results differ depending on interpretation

It is generally accepted that if any of the above apply, the market should be disputed as Invalid.

Another helpful resource is https://reporters.chat/ where folks can discuss why they reported / disputed the way that they did.

Thanks, and happy Auguring. :)

I just joined Augur to focus on product and user research. After talking to a lot of you and intense discussions with the team, we put together this roadmap for the next few months. We have timelines to guide our work internally and I’ll update this roadmap weekly.

We're basically proposing:

• better UX such that it fits the mental model of a bettor (Invalid state confusion anyone?) and is significantly lower effort

• very precise markets and unambiguous resolution rules

• faster settlement times so the pool isn't tied up after results are in

• cheaper transaction fees so fees are barely an afterthought

Follow the progress here: https://augur.net/blog/roadmap/

And on Github: https://github.com/AugurProject/turbo

And I want to talk to you! I want to understand your preferences, pain points, and goals when it comes to betting and LP'ing, whether in crypto or fiat, sports or current events. Leave a comment here, in our discord, or hit me up on twitter.

Oh and we're holding competitions on various testnests - there'll be 5 markets that you trade in and whoever has the highest $ amount in the end gets a small prize and OG bragging rights. We just did dogfooding on Kovan and it worked out great. The next one will be on a L2 testnet - just lmk if you’d like to participate!

Dear Augur guys,

First of all, congratulations on the launch. I hope this turns out to be a great success.

So with that said, I think you've done a terrible job aiding and guiding users through the installation and setup process. Unless you're an Ethereum developer, how on earth would you know what to connect to? "use infura.io" doesn't help anyone. What was the reasoning behind launching the app without any preconfigured settings for mainnet?

And what happens when you try to launch the app after synchronising?

This site cannot be loaded due to a certificate error: https://localhost:8080/#/categories?augur_node=ws%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9001&ethereum_node_http=https%3A%2F%2Fmainnet.infura.io%2Faugur&ethereum_node_ws= net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I'll bet you 9/10 users will never get past the first page on the app because they don't know how to connect and sync and your guide doesn't mention, and the people who do get past that hurdle will not get past the cert error. The barrier of entry for using Ethereum for regular folks is steep enough to begin with. You need to take the end user by the hand and explain step by step, field by field or people will never figure this out.

Sorry for the rant but come on guys!!! Check discord, people are confused! Why haven't you pinned or preconfigured the connection points? Why hasn't it dawned on anyone to take the feedback from discord or the other channels and help the end user?

I don't even know what to say... SMH

Can you smell it?
