Is this like a binary options site where you bet if price will go up or down within a set amount of time or more like a forex/stock trading station?
This is more like a binary options site, but more advanced than traditional pari-mutuel sites like betsofbitcoin.
I just registered hoping I'd be able to submit my own predictions.
Nope.
Hope you guys add the ability to submit your own picks. I can understand why you wouldn't want people submitting all sorts of non-verifiable predictions and alike but couldn't there be a simple moderator reviewed system? I'd rather be able to submit my own picks and have to wait a few hours or a day for it to get approved than have to pick from stuff like "will the royal baby be a boy or a girl?" There are 50+ different choices for entertainment, 0 for science & tech, and some for economics but all are either guessing btc price or difficulty.
Bitcoin users don't strike me as the type that are inclined to give a shit about celebrities compared to science&tech and economics.
Add the ability for users to submit they're own, I know I'd throw some btc in then.
We actually take suggestions about new markets, review them and post them online if we feel they meet our quality bar. Feel free to submit market suggestions
here.
I hope someone does prediction 4 btc all the way right, and this looks like the best shot. An "Intrade-style" market with trustworthy & fair operators has been much needed.
best of luck to you guys.
EDIT: just tried to sign up, wants my google acct
IMO bitcoin gamblers do not want accounts at all if possible. A simple no-dox registration is acceptable as well.
I click create an account and it goes to google. How do I create an account without using google?
We use Google accounts for authentication only. Google accounts is one of the most secure authentication mechanism you can find on the web. Also Google accounts supports 2-factor authentication with a large range a options (SMS, android, iPhone app, etc...). This is ideal for securing an account that holds funds. What's more likely, the NSA comes after you because they discover you use a Bitcoin website, or you get your password and your Bitcoins stolen?
Would I be betting against you? Where do you get the money to pay me out? If you have bad luck and you cannot pay, what then? I say scam! At least as long as you don't give proof you can deliver.
You bet against other people, like on Intrade.
Have any trades been executed yet? I don't see an order book for any of the options.
We plan to add an order book soon.
Trade history would be useful also, Intrade had a chart showing price over time and volume.
Yes, we also plan to add this soon.
I've been waiting for this, and this site looks great.
However:
7.0 FEES 7.1 Pixode charges a transaction fee for each trade on Predictious.
No shit. I've been looking everywhere to try and find how big the fee is without success. Could you clarify this?
Secondly, I'm interested in market data for your bets. Mostly I'm just missing the market depth, but trading history and such would be really nice to have as well.
The transactions fee is 2% at the moment.
I agree. Is the site operator still going through with this? Seems quiet.
Yes, sorry about this, we forgot to follow up on this thread. We update the site daily. If you have urgent questions, you can also ask
here.
