The main problem with prediction markets as "truth machines" is, that they can only work efficiently if insider trading is allowed (even encouraged). If insider trading is illegal, than these are just casinos

can you please give me a real-life example of an application, on a typical linux laptop or typical linux server, which userspace application would use this CRYPTO_USER_API ? None that I looked at seem to use it: openssl, pgp, sha256sum

I completely agree with you. The only thing I would add is, that prediction markets are not necessarily oracles for predicting the future. They can just as well be used for hedging: imagine, hypothetically I really do not want Trump to win.
