Back in its development stages Augur seemed to have quite a roar behind it. However, now that the REP has been out for a while, I still haven't heard anything about the prediction market at all. REP does seem to have decent trading volume on Poloniex, but after searching around on here, little to no information was found. Did this run out of steam or is it still in dev stages?
IMO, Augur was just ANOTHER stephan Taul ETH hype scam. i mean, have you SEEN the beta they have had for like 6+ months now? Once i used it i realized: holy crap, this SOUNDS great in idea, but in practise this is/was a ridiculous idea. The prediction markets there are nothing short of retarded stuff that noone cares about, it does NOT have the kinda prediction stuff we were TOLD it would, it has "what will be the weather on this date" type shit. garbage.
Volume will be around, sure, coins can have no work for 3 years and have volume still, its a free market, but rest assure, imo, Augur is dead, and it has been for months.
(p.s, but Taul still made money!, and since then has dumped 3 more hype projects already in the time its taken people to realize the FIRST are vaporwear (slock.it anyone?)
