Title: I'm still waiting for someone to invent a "GAMBLECOIN"... can this be done?

I like to think that some day, someone will create a cryptocurrency with a completely irrational, ilogical and unfair behaviour.

Example: "Every time you do a transaction with gamblecoin, you have a chance of doubling your money or losing it all". The network verifies the hash of the transaction and if it ends in X amount you either win or bust.

Or something completely absurd: "Stealcoin".
"If you're holding stealcoins there's a chance that a large percentage of your coins is transferred to a random stealcoin user".

Or maybe an "Infectioncoin":
A small percentage of coins is infected. The infection spreads to whatever coins are kept in the same wallet, which become infected as well. Infected coins are frozen and can only be unfrozen by getting an incoming transaction of a vaccinecoin. (Of course you must first find someone with a vaccinecoin).

Use the ledger in a creative way!
