👿 Core developer says Augur’s working on a fix for invalid market scam
Crypto betting platform Augur is being 'gamed' according to a recent Reddit thread discussing betters setting up markets to fail and then cashing out. Reddit users claim loose contract language is leading to cancelled bets which equally redistribute pooled funds to participants. Core developer Joey Kray disagrees, saying the issue actually resides in contract expiration information which is often mislabeled to cause invalid bets. Auger is unable to address the issue on a protocol level till this summer with the next issuance of an on-chain contract release.
