Well, it looks like it is going to happen. I, too, am interested in seeing the experiment run. The way it was talked about earlier this week, I pictured a system where people would snail-mail an amount of money to a central authority (bank) and would be turned into credits. Since this was only a simulation (not to raise eyebrows) I was thinking that a cap could be established (say, $25). Now it looks as if we'll have no acutal cash backing for the first simulation. How will this be distributed? Should everyone on the list be given a set amount of digital cash to start the 'poker game', or will we choose a smaller, representative sample? For the game, we'll have to set up an account as an internet `bank', scripts to handle incoming cash requests, etc. Are these the least of our worries? I'm also willing to help in any way I can, although I too know little C. I have a decent background in various other areas which may be helpful. On an entirely different subject: Has anyone worked up a PGP version that may help me out? My 286 plugs along when working on keys. :) I am specifically wondering if anyone has hacked in and created a PGP that supports the '87 coprocessor. thanks- Matt Thomlinson University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
