2. Manifold's Rise at Proof School

Your charismatic and charming hosts Jacob Cohen (@Conflux) and Andrew Imbens (@Imbens) discuss how this podcast has changed from Episode 1, calibration plots, shirts, the story of how Manifold Markets (https://manifold.markets/?referrer=Conflux) became popular at Proof School (our math-focused, full-curriculum school in San Francisco), and our M$6,000 “funding goal” to commit to an Episode 3. (Send manalinks to marketmanipulationpodcast@gmail.com!)

The hosting debut of “everyman” Andrew, this episode arguably cements the Market Manipulation Podcast’s status as the world’s premier podcast created for the purpose of discussing new implementations, betting strategies, or events surrounding Manifold Markets with at least one episode uploaded for public viewing, that is somewhat high quality, and is 10 mins or longer by market close.
