You'd think that based around the context of my statements that I'm not an unaware bystander and that I might already know something about Augur, what their tech is and who is involved in it. Guess not.

In a very narrowly defined space, it is something that works, yes, but as always with tech in this space "there be dragons".

As a side note, I stg that every "new thing" built on ethereum is just a chain of underpants gnome logic. Except the "???" is something you can drive a star system through.

When something is currently operating, just saying it can't work because of "technical obstacles" is bound to seem like a drive-by comment. The same with saying "there be dragons."

I'm genuinely interested--so can we enumerate some dragons? Can you elaborate?
