-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Try this Monty: The new owner of the Monty persona is defined to be the first public key which is signed by Monty's private key and posted to this forum. So the buyer sends Monty a public key, and Monty signs it and posts it to the list. (Optionally via a trusted third party to ensure fair play. There is a race condition in the making there but it's not too bad, we could fix it if we were bothered.) So Monty can cheat and post one he signed earlier selling to a different key, but we will ignore those because we base it on first posted. Buyers will no longer be interested in buying Monty's persona after they have seen it sold, because they know it is no longer his. The person who buys Monty's persona could resell it. Using the same protocol.
