New implementations of Augur markets continue to pop up and Veil has continued that trend with #YangGang. Users make their picks by tweeting, so no need to onboard with Metamask or another web3 wallet, and get free cryptocurrency in the form of shares in the corresponding market.

The Forecast Foundation has no role in the operation of markets, trades or actions created or performed on the Augur protocol, nor does it have the ability to censor, restrict, control, modify, change, revoke, terminate or make any changes to markets created on the Augur protocol. The Forecast Foundation has no more control over the Augur protocol than anyone else using Ethereum.

Thus, we do not seek to advise others on how to use the protocol. We encourage those in the community that are well educated on Augur to pay it forward and share their ideas for best practices, tips, fixes and etc with the larger community via Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Github and other community channels. For more information regarding the role of the Forecast Foundation, checkout the FAQ.

Cheers,

The Forecast Foundation OU
