Hey Stackers -
We need ideas for creating couple of markets for "StackerNews 2026" on Predyx. We'll seed it with abundant liquidity this time. Last year's market didn't have enough liquidity as we were still figuring out the market economics.
The 2025 markets were a big hit and we need to continue the tradition into 2026.
Here are two markets ending on Dec 31, 2025 - still a big opportunity of making few extra sats that you could use for zapping more in 2026. Cowboys with guns and hats and are welcome!!
On this market you can 2x your sats easily - if you know what you are doing: https://beta.predyx.com/market/stacker-news-hit-14m-items-in-2025
The market below 👇 is for market manipulators - who knows how to operate distributed bots. Buy bunch of YES and deploy your bots, take it to 1.5M items, rug all the naysayers. cc @0xbitcoiner @DarthCoin https://beta.predyx.com/market/stacker-news-hit-15m-items-in-2025

I haven’t looked at what the numbers should be but here are two categories for over/unders:
  1. Number of territories
  2. Total stacked

Thanks - that's a good one.
Lets work on the numbers. The number should be fairly difficult to achieve but still practically achievable.

Nice - how does the growth goals of SN looks like for 2026. Like 20%, 40% 50% more?
Perhaps @Scoresby can tell us.

Maybe I got confused - is this the 2025's number? Or are you saying it should be good number for 2026?

I think 'Stacker News cross 100 active territories mark in 2026?' should be an intriguing ask.
What do you say?

These two markets are a scam! The premise should be 1.4M/1.5M paid items.

Paid items could be an excellent resolution criteria for 2026.

Even so, it’s still possible to manipulate, but at least it wasn’t free.

With your logic every market can be manipulated. Even the 2028 Elections, Super Bowl 2026 - all of it can be manipulated provided how much capital you can deploy to turn the odds in your favor.

True. That’s why I think all bets are a scam, and I don’t spend a single sat! Hahaha. But these two, you can manipulate for free, a total oasis for scammers! I don’t think this is good for the Predyx brand.

Running bots are not free, it requires computing power and skills. If the cost of running bots are lower than your potential win than people will attempt it.
That's why bitcoin's security comes for compute and energy spend.
Ultimately it all boils down to "cost and benefit"

I don’t think you get it yet, you can create unpaid items (for free) on SN, and those items are counted for these two markets.

I get it - what I'm trying to tell you is that it takes effort (cost in terms of time spent) to create unpaid item.
