So; is there a problem with the implementation outlined above? If it were implemented, would people play it?
I think it would be easier if the lottery owner was just in a safe jurisdiction. Then he wouldn't have to worry about the legality of it, and not worry about his anonymity. Gambling-safe jurisdictions *do* exist. There lies a problem if *playing* a game is illegal in the US, which I beleive it may be. If the winners can be revealed by bank/lottery collusion, then in order to protect the winners the lottery can't collude with the bank. This may not be a problem, because the lottery isn't subject to US law, so there would be no way to force the lottery to collude with the bank to reveaol the identities of the winners. -- sameer Voice: 510-601-9777 Community ConneXion FAX: 510-601-9734 The Internet Privacy Provider Dialin: 510-658-6376 http://www.c2.org/ (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org
