Also why is my ether balance bouncing all around? it stopped but now I can no longer get anything from the faucet. It worked the first time and showed 10,000 cash but all of a sudden that 10,000 cash disappeared and dropped balance to 0.
Hmm, it shouldn't be bouncing all around! Are you using demo.augur.net, or the downloaded version? If the downloaded version, what is your address? You can get this as eth.coinbase from the geth console, or click on "Account" in the UI and it'll show you your address!
