I like the idea of
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101313.0 and I had an idea for a variant that seemed fun

This addresses private key has been turned into a 10 of 20 shared secret(
http://point-at-infinity.org/ssss/ ), like TTBit's, But in this case the address is not funded yet. For this game, I will not be releasing secrets or hashes, Instead I will be "selling" them, 100% of payments will end up in the above address.
There are 20 secrets, you need 10 of them to create the private key
I will only sell one secret per user, and only to obvious non sock puppets, No two users will get the same secret from me.
I will sell the sha256 hash of any of the secrets to anyone, any number of times.
All collected BTC will go to the prize address.
Once a secret is bought, the owner can do anything with it, sell it, trade it, share it etc.
You can lie, sell a code you don't have, or sell the wrong code if you want to.
Bought codes will be announced in this thread - but not who bought them.
If the prize is not redeemed by JAN 1ST 2013 then whoever has the most correct secrets will win.
Secrets will cost 0.10BTC each, one per person, at most 20 people (though more can play by buying them from the 20 original buyers)
Hashes of secrets will cost 0.02 BTC each
To buy a secret : PM me and ask, I will send you a deposit address, send 0.10BTC to it and I will reply with one of the secrets - they will go out in order.
To buy a hash : PM me with which secret(s) you want the hash(es) of, I will send you a deposit address, send 0.02*the number of hashes you want and I will reply with them.
Player Selling/Trading etc can happen anywhere, in this thread, via PM, IRL, it doesn't matter.
