Rule 0.5 would have explicitly granted me these powers. Instead, they were
implicitly granted by rule 4.4, as there are not any restrictions on
entering the market, even though there is no rule specifically saying that
there is one. I therefore CFJ on the following: There are currently no
restrictions in the rules on players entering the Nomic Market.

I agree that there is no hazard *yet*. The potential hazard, however, is
enough for me to pull back out.

Rule 4.4

>2) Conjuring 2 Market::Coins out of thin air

They were the same two Coins that I had in Thermo.

>3) Converting these Coins into 2,000 Market::BNS

As the market rules explicitly empowered me to do.

>4) Conjuring an additional Market:Coin out of thin air

Which I had in Thermo.

>5) Converting that Coin into 1,000 Market::BNS

Again, the market ruleset lets me do this.

>6) Converting his 3,000 Market:BNS into 3 Market::Coins

And again.

Yes, they did; the Thermo::Coins are the same objects as the Market::Coins,
the difference being in how they were being used. There was no net change,
however.
