Title: Determinist gambling
Post by: remotemass on December 14, 2012, 01:39:01 PM
What about a p2p network that would have a client that you could use to lock an integer number of your choice that nobody in the network could know till some proof-of-work was done. The final number would be the sum of all such peer locked numbers. That number would be determined before the proof-of-work but nobody could know it, which would make that number interesting for gambling games, for instance. It could represent the number of shifts in a spinning wheel, for instance.
Or the number of times a list of participants needed to be shifted or shuffled to get the list of winners for that contest.
What do you think?

I don't see how this could work. You cannot conceal and process information at the same time.
