Twelve times I did the bet updates, flaaaawlessly and on time. Through traveling and conferencing, travels for friend's wedding (#993891), through family events and work overload... but alas, eventually something gets you.

End of June-beginning of July I somehow forgot. There's just no action in the Predyx bets, nor on SN itself... the commitment dwindling, the passion with which I made the updates mje.

Also, my financial exposure isn't crazy anymore: some 10k sats in the main bet and 4.5k in the extra (higher) bet.Also, my financial exposure isn't crazy anymore: some 10k sats in the main bet and 4.5k in the extra (higher) bet.

By now, plenty of Stackers have aped in, and I've sold off some contracts, figuring that ek would eventually come up with some invidious plan to fuck me. I'm only the fourth-largest shareholder on the No side.

Also... guys, it's just the same story. It's pretty dead around here, no new blood coming in (#993891). This beautiful less-than-straight line is gonna keep going sideways and down. SN, as wonderful and generous as it is, isn't going anywhere.

So, for this update the numbers will be a bit off: I picked #1019584 because I actually published something that day. So, in the ~16 days between that and the previous update (#1007249) there were some 12,000 items for a daily average of 771 -- a new all-time low.

The masses are not comingThe masses are not coming

So, pretty much halfway through the year (49.6%), we're 33.05% to the target. MY GOD, THE YES MEN ARE GONNA LOSE SO HARD OMG WHAT A CHRISTMAS PAYDAY IMMA HAVE

Game. Over.

For the next 176 days, we need 2,108 items a day to hit the mark. MY GOD, not even during peak ek fuckery back in ~April or whatever could we hit that level. So GAAAME.

@mega_dreamer can just go ahead and cash the bet early. LOL

Also, absolutely no promises on my regular updating going forward. It is what it is; posting happens when it happens.

Over and out.
