Add on the ability to wager up to the amount of marks you have plus
100 times
the amount of VCs you have, and force VC->mark conversion.

Pretty much. Converting Marks to VCs is voluntary; converting VCs
to Marks only happens when needed to cover a Mark loss.
pikhq's suggestion would effectively allow lossless VC transfers, by
way of the intended recipient wagering on a statement whose truth value
is already known, though it would only work when the intended recipient
already has at least as many VCs as the amount to be transferred.
