## Hello everyone!

I would like to share a Fedimint module I have been working on over the last few weeks. For anyone unfamiliar with fedimint [learn here](https://fedimint.org/).

The prediction market I have implemented allows for events to be represented as any number of outcomes. A user can create a new market, and give out the market id to whoever they want to have access. Then users can make bets on the market on which outcomes they believe to be mispriced. After the event occurs, the owner of the outcome control key of the market can declare a payout, which distributes the market's holdings to users based on their bets.

### How it works
A market has a contract price and a number of outcomes. Each outcome has its own order book of buys and sells.

 In order for a new contract to be created, buy's prices from all outcomes must add up to the contract price. When this happens, contracts of each buy's outcome are handed out to the buys.

For a contract to be destroyed, sell's prices from all outcomes must add up to the contract price. 

Contracts of each outcome can also be swapped locally in each outcomes order book. (New orders will always pick the best price between creating/destroying vs swapping.

A payout occurs after the outcome has been declared by the outcome control key of the market. The payout distributes the contract price amongst the contracts of each outcome.  

##### It is still very alpha so not ready for real sats!

Something I've been working on: Fedimint Prediction Markets

Ask SN: which OTC did you tried?

I have nothing but respect for the man, he's certainly a smarter and better engineer than I am. With that said, I don't find him interesting at all. Reading the white paper for Ethereum and comparing it with Satoshis makes it incredibly clear that Vitalik cares about financial instrumentation rather than decentralized trustless economic systems. The switch to proof of stake made this pretty clear, of course. 

Ethereum is just not usable for anything right now. I'm pretty extreme on this but I think it will be forgotten in a few years. It's just not fun to develop.

I need some help. Long story short I got scammed on a yield site. I knew it was a scam but it got away from me and now I’m in this situation. 

So the scammy website is trying to pay me back what they owe me. They always say I need to pay some “fee” to get my funds back. But now this new method has me completely fooled on what’s going on.

For the record I don’t shitcoin but to have a chance to get back what I’m owed i figured hey what do I have to loose.

So the site had me download the coinbase wallet (this wallet is pretty slick I see why shitcoiners like it) and had me put in these details in the network section of the wallet:

1. Download the Coinbase Wallet for NFTs and crypto.
2. Open the app and go to Settings.
3. In Settings, click on "Networks" and then tap the "+" button at the top right to add custom networks.
4. Fill in the details for the new network as follows:
- Network Name: BTC
- RPC URL: rpc-testnet.zcore.network
- Chain ID: 3331
- Currency Symbol: BTC
- Block Explorer URL (optional): www.blockchain.com/explorer
5. Click "Add Network" to complete the addition of the new network.
6. Once the settings are correctly in place, go to your assets and click the "Receive" button at the top right.
7. Copy your Bitcoin wallet address and send it here.
8. Also, copy your Ethereum wallet address and send it here.
9. Wait for the assets to be credited to your wallet. It should take less than 24 hours if you've followed the instructions correctly.

Please ensure that you correctly follow each step to set up your wallet without issues.

After about 24 hours an asset labeled “BTC” showed up in my coinbase wallet. Completely flabbergasted on possibly finally getting paid back. But then I was confused the balance wasn’t available. 

Then they instructed the following to make the “BTC” into the active balance of wallet the instructions are as follows:

Here's how you can do it:

-Navigate to the primary wallet address you've been using, often referred to as address 1.

- Within your wallet, look for an option titled "Add wallets" or similar.
- Select "Add address" within this section. This action will generate a new wallet address for you, which we'll call address 2.

- Switch over to address 2.
- Find and enter the "Networks" section.
- Here, you'll need to delete the custom network that was previously added. 

- After successfully deleting the custom network from address 2, navigate back to your initial wallet or address 1.

After I did that the “BTC” was now looks as if it is on the bitcoin network.  I am completely confused on what’s going on here. 

When I try to send it anywhere the app just says “something is wrong”. I do think it’s an ERC-20 token of some sort but I can’t even send it to an ETH address. 

The site is saying they used this method to pay other  people back and I need to wait for the funds to unlock and for the network operator to give me instructions to send this “BTC” to my personal wallet.

If anyone can explain to me what the hell is going on I will pay them a 25k sat bounty. But the more detailed you are the more I will pay. If you are able to help me change this “BTC”  to get the true value out of this mess then a massive award can be had.


I know this is a bitcoin only site but I really need help on trying to understand this and I am hoping some stacker can help a fellow stacker. 

Thanks

I need help (warning shitcoins may be involved)
