Resolution
- Index
- $TENTS Encampment reports in San Francisco and Seattle. Rulebook v0.2, 2026-10-04.
- Prints
- Monthly. Both cities post reports within a day; a month prints four days after it ends. The newest complete month is on the record after the daily proof at 12:40 UTC.
- As first published
Oct 2026 is not timestamped yet. The daily proof at 12:40 UTC adds it.
The number as first published is final for settlement. A revision by the source is shown beside it and never replaces it.
- Fallback
- A month prints four days after it ends, and only when both cities have reports in the newest month. If either city has posted nothing for it, it stays open. A month either city never posts is void.
- Precision
- Whole reports from both cities, by the date each was made.
- Cost to move
- Cheap in small numbers. A report is a phone call, an app or a web form.
- Grade
- display. Reports, not tents: one camp can bring many reports, and a city sweep changes what gets reported. Shown, not settled on.
- For a rulebook
- Settle on the number Tickerz first recorded for $TENTS for the month named in the contract, published at tickerz.com/x/tents and in GET /api/indices/tents, timestamped daily in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps.
