Ah, yes, Sanjuro's Assassination Market.  I, more than most, would like to find out what really happened

with that.  Inadvertently assisted by me (by directing the anonymous TOR-emailer, claiming to be 'Sanjuro', to Andy

Greenberg of Forbes) it got a rather enormous amount of publicity almost instantly in the media.  Nevertheless, little

actually happened, and the media coverage didn't reflect nor describe that.  The main criticism I had of this was

 the fact that the system was said to have a minimum bid of 1 BTC, which at the time was somewhere around $1000.

  This, contrasting with my Assassination Politics essay of 1995-96 where I anticipated allowing bits of 10 cents.  

Assassination Market did not explain a lot of what I had considered necessary for a functioning such system. 

How can a potential donor trust the system?  How can a potential 'predictor' trust the system?  How to collect?

I never tried to research into this, because I judged that to do so would be a little too 'hot' for me to do.  Did

any donations actually appear on the system after its initial announcement?  Did any new names/targets appear?
