I cannot trust a system that trusts an oracle.

What if it is a trustless Oracle? Augur kind of tries to be this, and appears to do well within a limited scope.

Very limited, i.e. they're down to a few tens of people bothering to vote daily.

The amount of people “voting” seems to be less important than the amount at stake, as if it was a large stake proved incorrectly somebody may come in and fix that. $1.2m trades in 1 market with $800k open interest isn’t that bad.
