Title: Have you set up the Augur Alpha?
Post by: jessepollak on June 25, 2015, 01:23:59 AM
If so, what do you think about it? Things that jumped out to me:

* The UI is intuitive and well done. Given how ugly some of the things we're used to in the community are, this was a pretty awesome surprise.
* I find myself wanting to see other people in the community and what they're doing. Right now, there doesn't seem to be any social/community aspects built into the platform and I'd really like to see that.

If you haven't installed it, I just wrote up a quick guide (https://medium.com/two-factor-authenticity/setting-up-the-augur-alpha-9e62349cdfe6) to installing it on your Mac.

EDIT: I have no affiliation with Augur, just like messing around with fun new crypto things :)

I used it and liked it.  It was enough to convince me to try into the groupbuy for rep.  I was looking here for a definitive guide on the subject matter for upgrading past the alpha into the actual groupbuy phase of my backed up ether wallet and address but it seems I shouldn't do that or worry about it so much right now?  I was really wanting to lock in the rate of discount so I hurried to get my coin into the crowdsale, but decided against overdoing it.  I have no idea what the total commitment is for time to spend so that my rep effectively yields a great return.  Although participating in a decentralized prediction market in and of itself is exciting.  (I listed the gold price as a potential question to bid on in the alpha).

Augur looks very interesting and their token sale is a huge success so far. I'll follow their development :)
