The gamestate is a rather vague concept.

Ah, but 0.5 is not yet passed.

I do not know them either, but I understand that there is a perceived
potential threat.

The whole POINT of internomic trading is that they were the same objects.
Consequently, some further CFJs.

1. Craig successfully entered the Market prior to the submission of this
CFJ.
2. Craig successfully aquired three thousand BNS within the Market prior to
the submission of this CFJ.
3. For some period of time prior to the submission of this CFJ but after the
creation of the Nomic Market, Craig had zero Coins for the purposes of the
Market.
4. For some period of time prior to the submission of this CFJ but after the
creation of the Nomic Market, Craig had zero Coins for the purposes of
Thermo.
5. Craig currently has three Coins.
